Which car would win?

My stock 1997 3.0 CL, well its got a K&N Air Filter or a 2003 Mustang V6 with a Magnaflow Dual Exhaust System and a Mac CAI

legendaryCL98

you'll get owned..

proaudio22

Yea u need some mods man. You'd hand him his ass with all the bolt ons.

Chinisimo

why do you even bother to ask???

simple question, what size is that mustang engine and what size is yours?

lnsyone

my batmobile will win.

SilviaGTO

he just said in ramblings that he beat the mustang..

dustbuster4

If the Mustang is a 5-speed, you'll loose--no question.

If the Mustang is a 4-speed Auto, you might have a slight chance (driver dependent).

I've beat several 6-banger Mustangs (w/o N2O), but I also have i/e/h.

Here's a comparison: http://autos.msn.com/research/compar...&v=t2&v=t95741

In a nutshell: The Mustang has 193HP vs your 200HP.

The Mustang has 225 ft-lbs. Torque vs your 195 ft-lbs. Torque.

The 5-speed Mustang weights 3114 lbs. vs your 3219 lbs.

The Auto Mustang weights 3175 lbs.

3.0s are slow...But I think a V6 stang is slower.

97-3-pt-OH-C-el

i havent gone with the guy from a stop yet. thats what im asking about, weve done it from like 20mph rolls and i started to pull slightly

DanMan1464

u started pulling at 20 mph? good job

proaudio22

His heavier and larger than stock wheels are prob hindering him.

97-3-pt-OH-C-el

i start to pull on him that is

smartass

legendaryCL98

if u beat him.. why did u ask the question? sounds kinda fishy..

sexpistols374982: wait
sexpistols374982: have you actually SEEN newer V6 stangs race before
Lazy Ass KD: yeah
Lazy Ass KD: they suck
sexpistols374982: since ive never actually raced one from a stop, or ridden in one, ill ask you about them.. are they slower than 3.0s?
Lazy Ass KD: they're slow as fuck man
Lazy Ass KD: civic ex's hang with them
sexpistols374982: think id get my ass handed to me stoplight to stoplight
Lazy Ass KD: not a chance
Lazy Ass KD: a civic ex 5speed against a mustang v6 5speed is a close race
Lazy Ass KD: and im pretty sure you can handle a civic ex 5speed
sexpistols374982: "im pretty sure" = "it would be a massacre"
Lazy Ass KD: yes
Lazy Ass KD: cant you sense my sarcasm by now?
sexpistols374982: yea
sexpistols374982: read this shhit
Lazy Ass KD: just post our convo
Lazy Ass KD: explain that im the god of honda
Lazy Ass KD: post it dammit
Lazy Ass KD: i wanna see myself being smart

seems to me there is a diff in a 20mph roll going up and downhill, rather than a stoplight race from 0. torque is most useful from a stop, and yes its true he has much more. so thats where im wondering.

proaudio22

This kid is retarted. The older V6 Stangs would play nice with a Civic. The new V6 seriously can hang with our cars.

d98clturbo

i beat a v6 stang when my car was bone stock....you can beat it, they are slow as shit. i have an idea..........................


















JUST RACE HIM!

proaudio22

The old ones are slow as shit, the new ones aren't. Big difference between the two.

d98clturbo

when di the new body style come out?....i raced the v6 in 2000 shortly after i bought my car

proaudio22

I believe it was 99.

Old V6 Stangs: 17.3s
New V6 Stangs: 15.6-15.7 (manual/auto)
2.2CL: 16.7

I can see how you would own one of the older V6s, but not the newer ones unless the focker missed second or something hehe.

d98clturbo

it was the newer ones and it was auto

jtothees

I'm confused...in another thread you mentioned you had a 2.2 auto..now you are saying a 3.0.. which is it?

'97Acura3.0CL

v6 stang vs. our cars (3.0) is pretty close. I raced a 2002 v6 mustang and we were head to head. Not really sure who will win because I wasnt mashing. I dont think that other guy wasnt either. but from what I experienced, we were pretty close.

97-3-pt-OH-C-el

i had 1995 Accord EX 2.2 liter VTEC, and i totalled it 3 weeks ago. then my mom bought me a 10k dollar used 3.0 CL.

accord - history

lnsyone

i picked up my CL for 10g's, too

351MachOne

Just an addition...

the 99-up Mustangs have 190+hp where as the 98-down have 150... They are DOGS... While the new ones are still slow, I would still give it to him to win a short drag race...

Someone has actually run 14.95 in a STOCK (-jack, -spare, -tools) at the strip...So Civic EX's will NOT hang with them...

DanMan1464

i got mine for 10g's @ July 2003

if it's just for fun or to try (without involving money).. give it a shot man.. make sure you'll do it in a legal place.. not on the street..

Evilrussian

I drove a loaner 2000 Stang v6 with auto and that POS was slow as dirt... Even my 2.3 feels kinda quicker imo...

CLpower

it should be a good race

My good friend has a 99' v6 stang auto. I've raced him several times from a stop and from a roll. He's got about 150-200 lbs of stereo equipment in the trunk which actually gives me the weight advantage, but not by much. He also has I/E. My 3.0 is stock, except when we've raced I've openned my air box and proped it open about 1 inch so it acts as a short intake and gets more air.

It's been close every race. I've pretty much edged him out most races. It's really too close to say that one or the other would win everytime.

Ford and GM six bangers are sloooooow as hell. I had a brand new 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix rental with like 17K miles on it. I had to look under the hood to make sure it wasn't a 4-cyl. It was the 3.8L V6........junk!

I honestly don't think any american auto makers can make a decent V6 with power unless they super charge it like the SVT's. V8's are their bread and butter as far as power goes. Crylser is getting there though.....

TRex1216

Man relax your in a CL, just hit the sunroof, wipe off the woodgrain and let'em hate, dude i had a Integra Type R(#1216) before this car, it can be made fast but thats not what its about its a luxuary sedan.

CLpower

yea about the same speed as our 3.0 CL's :lol:

proaudio22

One day these guys will realize that, maybe after a V6 Stang whips their asses.

The 03 Grand Prix rental you had damond may be slow - but the 3.0CL isn't any faster stock. :o

lnsyone

buy a moped and install nitrous.

JLai

Tie dick to rock and throw off cliff.

proaudio22

I'll pass on that.

damond

It sure seemed it, night and day difference in handling and power. The day after I got rear ended in my CL I got the Grand Prix so it wasn't like I had the rental a year before getting my CL....

Maybe a 2003 Mustang will wipe my 3.0...but then lets compare a stock 1998 Mustang V6 to my stock 3.0. And compare a 2003 Mustang V6 to the 2003 3.2.......
