well i just have to say that it is the fifth mustang gt i just owend. he thought he would beat me but i whoped him in down town austin to make him look even more stupid. just wanted to tell everyone that.

N.O.6speed

good stuff!

HyDrOpOnIkToKa

way to represent cl's in ATX-
btw nice color

jholland

I find that really hard to believe.

ding069

what year and model. My boy has a 94 gt 5.0 with cat back and an H pipe and he rips on me every race. A newer body style will beat you even worse. Maybe if they are auto's or shitty drivers

viperkv

ok 3 was a 96-98 gt 4.6 bodystyle, 2 were 99-up 4.6 gt. not sure what exact year but its those body styles. and they all were standard. this last one was the 96-98 gt bodystyle. my friends didnt believe at first but when we were out one messed with me and we went for it and were dead even in first then the mustang hit second and i pulled half a car. in second he stayed there and he hit third i was still in second and pulled again. the he quit.

BEETROOT

they must not have known how to drive, or you have nos or something.

mustangs are much faster than even a heavily modded 1st gen

viperkv

97 mustang gt 1/4 is only 15.3. but i really dont care who believes me ot not. just thought i post this.

SooDARK

viperkv- what are your mods?

BTW-your story sucked a race story in 2 lines

CLpower

the 95-97 GT's were pretty slow, I usually beat them, w/ some mods they can hang w/ me. But it's really up to the driver on that kind of race.

N.O.6speed

97 were rated at 215hp, i think. Sounds resonable that a cls would win that race.

BEETROOT

my 94 gt was a good amount faster than my 01 cls

klepto

he doesnt drive a cls

BEETROOT

^ I know that. I'm assuming his is slower than a cl-s, which is more reason that a mustang would beat him.

what mods do you have viper

klepto

sorry beetroot, my response was directed towards N.O.6speed

CLpower

94 was the last year of the 5.0 correct? And what were your times, i've never seen a stock 95-97 in 14's.

monkey

viperkv, good kill. I have no doubt you beat a mustang.

CLScotty97

Nice ride viper.... I love that engine bay, im surprised more people dont do that, im thinkin bout painting my plastic pop-ons red to match my intake, but i was j/w what kind of pain u used?

viperkv

thanks for the props everyone

my mods are only aem cai, and apexi n-1 muffler but for the turboed cars witch means 3 inch inlet and 5 inch outlet. the mustang i raced yesterday was a 97 or 98 forgot what my friend said it was. he knows him. but i have raced and beat the 99 and up with a car lenght.

SooDARK sorry for the short story but i dont like long post. witch these are already.

CLScotty97 i primered it first with about 3 coats then anodized high temp paint bout 2 and then 2 coats of what ever color you want.

CLScotty97

cool, thanks.....

scalbert

You should have left it alone with the 95 - 97 GT; now this sounds really absurd based on the information presented

I'm curious, is this indicative of the 1gen forum. :P

viperkv

well i just lettin you know that 2 were the 99-up ones and no i am not just makin it up

scalbert

I am sure you are being honest. But I am not sure they were really racing. The power and weight numbers do not support the claim unless the other parties were not trying.

I could easily take one now but back before the blower, etc. in my CL-S6, when it was NA (247 WHP), the '99+ GT's were a handlful.

viperkv

they were trying cuz when we hit the next light they were pissed. he didnt even want to look at me.

scalbert

The only other explanations are issues with the car. As I stated, the power and weight do not account for this unless something is awry. The 99+ GT will run close to a 14.0 at 96 - 98 MPH. You would be luck to hit within 1.5 seconds and 8 - 10 MPH of that. This would be significant.

charlesgage

Yeah my last car was a 97 MGT I had some things in it but i could own any 1st gen Cl on this board if they weren't spraying (i'm the anti-spray).

CLpower

over on AW we had a guy who was definately convinced his legend w/ straight pipes beat every 99+ stang it raced

CLpower

not if you were stock though

charlesgage

ClPower, I am not sure, there is just about nothing significant mod wise that you can do to a CL, i would have to re-check the quarter numbers. But I had head work, intake, ignition, low rear with LSD, etc, i just don't think anybody here could have taken it, even stock, those stangs keep pulling through 90 where the 4 sp manuals leave off, even my integra GSR pulls through to 150, and i raced a VW GTI VR6 6-speed and i beat that and there is no way you can tell me that the 1st gen can take a new VR6.

viperkv

hey i have lost to mustangs but it depends on the driver. a race is a race doesnt matter it you win or lose i just do it for fun. i have even raced a 2002 corvette and i knew i was going to lose but who cares.

CLpower

oh, i'm not saying the first gen is fast, i'm saying that stock 95-97 GT's aren't much quicker w/ a good driver and an avg driver they are on par. I've raced more then my fair share of them.

scalbert

heheh

What have you been supplying him!!!

I just don't get it. The Legend is a fine, older, vehicle. But it isn't a speed demon just like the CL. Why pretend or play on something it is not. I would rather discuss how the over all car is significantly better than the GT than to talk speed games.

CLpower

his name was Legend420, he swear he could drift in his CL and even claimed he was an awesome driver even though he only practiced on the streets and didn't have any suspension mods done to his car. He would often talk about drifting around a 40 mph freeway off ramp

give me your email, i'll send you the link the thread had 20,000 views

Ted

Hey, you can't knock the Legend. One time we had a meet in Long Island and there was a guy with a stock Legend that kept up with a CL-S (It was Scooter's cl). I think the 93-95 legend coupes were about 230hp.

nalaree007

Probably a shitty driver or a V-6 model. A stock V-8 1990 Mustang will do 14.9, a 1994 does 15.10, and a 1999 will do 14.10.

scalbert

I wasn't knocking the Legend, you may have misread what I typed.

It, like the CL, is not a real performance car. They have many other significantly better aspects over a GT. The GT just happens to be quicker and has more potential to increase its speed capability.

CLpower

this guy had the 4 door, and some of the old 6 speed coupes may be able to hold up but that's it.

damond

One word...... RUSTANG!

Mark Davison

I think Mustangs are fucking gay. Sure some of them are fast, but there are plenty of cars in their same price range that will out perform them. From what I've seen, most of the Gilligan's who own Mustangs are arrogant dickheads who think their car is the coolest thing in the world. Fuck'em.

cmycl

my boy has a v-8 5.0 - every mod you can think of except spray or s/c

fastest car i've ever been in.....hands down

in the columbusracing.com board i believe he was 5th......top 4 were all supras i believe
