What are the performance spec's on Mustangs

[flashinthepan]

Curiously,

Does anyone know the 0-60 spec's on Mustangs ?, I see them everywhere almost like mosquito's in summer.

I know the Cobra's are pretty fast, what about the GT's ?? does 260 HP put them quicker than the 330's ?? 325's..etc..?

Got google? [fake]

I think the new 2003 SC Cobras run around a 4.7-4.8. The 2001 GTs were around 5.9 seconds to sixty. I would expect the 260 hp. GT to be around 5.7-5.8. The 2003 Mach 1 is quoted below at 5.3. A 1998 GT, with less than 260 hp is quoted at 6.2.

A recent GT 5-speed will spank a 325i in a straight line, and the 260 hp GT (2003?) should be .3-.5 seconds quicker than a 330i PP. Of course, drag racing is not everything . . .

I don't know where they get those numbers. They list a 97 NSX-T 6spd as 5.2 seconds to sixty. Motor trend got 4.9, Road and Track 5.0.

Don't forget that Mustangs are easily modifiable. Simple intake, exhaust and pulleys can make a world of difference.

So,

so.....A cheap source of decent power...

fine-

Next car Porche 911-turbo or M3



Providing my stocks quadruple...lol

Mustangs blow.

 

[codex57]

THey're cheap power. Just like Camaros. Still, ever sat in one? Or even just look into the interior? That alone oughta put you off the car unless you're a high schooler. I'm talking about the V6 and even the GT tho. The Cobra has so much power, you're forgiven if you give in and buy one.

I had a new 2002 firebird a while back when i lived in arizona it wasnt the best but i liked it. The inside was a little cheep but the ouside it was a heck of a good looking car.

It was pewter with a black interior

by the was codes i like the bmw king guy

The Mustang crowd is more of the "Muscle Car" bunch, I have no problem with that, I dont always like the rock concert T-shirts etc...

I personally like a more refined & pleasurable drive...

Unfortunately the Mustang crowd is almost like the Ricin' crown....race evryone..even if it means I blow my engine or fry my clutch !! and the winner definately has the best car..( even though my "Stangs" hood scoop is unfunctional & my door handles just fell off )....lol !!!.

 

[codex57]

I like the Firebird's shape too. May it rest in peace. Yeah, the interior was cheap as hell, but what GM designed car doesn't have a cheap interior?

 

[frolf]

mustangs to me are straight line cars. i have only been beaten by mustangs that can beat me in a straight line, bring it to the twisties and i'll bring them down with authority. keep in mind i have never raced a full-on Saleen car.

none of those are gm

And towncar yea right

 

[///M SPEED]

The Saleen or the Cobra are the only ones (newer models) that really look good. I like many of the older model muscle car stangs. Hell, I love many of the older muscle cars from all the car manufactures.

 

[codex57]

yeah, I specifically said GM designed ones. the 300M is, well, a Chrysler and the Town Car is a Ford. The Pontiac Vibe has a decent interior, but it's a Toyota so it doesn't count either. You can say Saab is GM owned, but it's not really GM designed, just owned. You can tell it's a GM car interior b/c they all obviously share the same parts, just have a different logo stamped on them. And they all look/feel like crap compared to the competition.

Since when is the Pontiac Vibe is a Toyota? You mean they took the styling from the Matrix? Anyhow I never heard of Pontiac beign a Toyota, always thought it was GM.

The Vibe is built on the same platform and has the same engine and basic components of the Matrix. It was a joint venture between Toyota and GM.

Apparently it's a different crowd where you live, but where I live it's all 16 year old girls and boys who think they look cool in a Mustang. I myslef hate most of the newer Mustangs, sans the Cobra and Saleen. GT's and regular Mustangs can blow me.
