mustang vs TL
#5
similar weight and 30HP difference in engine output not to mention a significant difference in torque = u will most likely get pwnt manual or not
300/320 vs 270(old so as it is consistant with the mustang)/238*

05+ run high 13's pretty easily, and with an auto he wont have to worry about messing us any shifts.
If it were a 99-04 you'd have a much better chance, unless the Mustang was modded.

What kind of track are you talking about? The drag strip for sure, but lol at an 05 mustang trying to get around a real track...the new ones are much better though

I disagree. I ran a 5 speed one when I had an intake (I think) and it was neck and neck thru 1st and 2nd. We didn't get to go into 3rd because of traffic, but I was surprised. I think he would've creeped in 3rd, but it should be close if you're a good driver.

Define "slow".
99-04 5 speed GT's run low 14's bone stock @ ~ 99mph. With bolt-ons and stickier tires mid/high 13's @ 101-103mph is pretty easy.
From a roll the TL-S may be able to hang, but dont think you can just go racing any 99-04 GT and walk them.

Slow as in a modded N/A 2v would have a hard time beating a stock LS1.. its like the LT1! They both "sound" good but drive like they are tied to a tree..

guys, it's possible for a 6MT TL to beat a 99-04 mustang GT, ive done it before.
now the 05 mustang GT is a different story, they are much quicker then the 6MT TL's and 99-04 mustang GT's

true, the mustang GT's do run those numbers consistently. it's just easier to launch with RWD. every 99-04 GT i've encountered on the highway was a win for me and i was stock

99-04 had the better motors of that generation. The ones before it dont even bother...My friend had a 96 vert GT that thing sucked ass. My h22 powered accord would dust that thing. But we swapped in a 99 motor since his 96 developed some rod knock and it was definitely a difference.

According to my knowledge the Manual 05 GT does 14.1 quarter mile. I assume an Auto is about 0.4 seconds slower. with a perfect execution, the TL might have a shot. But then again i'm not a perfect driver. Also how much fuel in the car also effects the outcome. With a full tank, the car weighs at least 100lbs more.

The 05+ automatics do not have nearly the performance disadvntage of previous gens, as they are also 5 speeds and only lose about .2 and 2mph compared to the manual trans, sometimes less.

Also you cannot always compare street times vs a prepped track. Too many unknowns whether the road be shitty or lack of adhesion. But I hope this is done at a well prepped track not in the street.

You should take him i took an 03 in my 99 TL stock rolling from 20 lol we were neck and neck and then the beautiful thing called VTEC kicked in and i pulled away haha gotta love VTEC

I was playing cat and mouse with a 05+ GT a few months back and ended up putting busses on him... I have video of it but its hard to see what's going on other then him and I going faster then some other cars and then I come to an opening and fly past him... not a good video at all...

IIRC the 'Track Pack' 2010 Mustang GT pulled something like .95G and 60-0 in 108'.
The days of straight line only performance are gone.
What does the best 2010 Acura do in the 1/4, lateral grip, and braking?
Also, have you ever driven a Mustang, or any American V8 RWD car? Its easy to say it handles like crap if all you do is read about them and never drive one for yourself.
