I think it was a fake GT.
Cuz I don't think you can keep up with a GT.

Yea to bad it had dual exhaust one on each side i.e. its gt

well did the mustang know you were racing him? Cuz either way, its 160hp vs. 215hp or 240hp whichever one it was.

it could have been a V6 with split dual exhaust.... newer mustang GT's are crazy fast. automatic mustang GT's are very fast too. because they have so much torque.

are you a fucking idiot? There is no way a Civic could keep up with a Mustang unless its heavily modded. I don't give a shit about your little b16, its so overrated. All SiR guys think they're the shit, but your not that fast. There is no way you could've kept up to ANY Mustang GT, auto or not.

Keep in mind this is from a roll, once the SiR get's going it is a rather quick car, it's just the first 50-100 feet or so that kill it. If it was a ~97 or older GT I believe that you kept up to him, if it was 99 or newer it was probably a V6.

I actually wouldn't mind taking a run against you in the truck if your interrested...

CAI is CAI no matter if it was made for a civic or an ITR or a dodge truck, and that's the bottom line. he coulda said AEM CAI, or something and that would be alright. but he's just throwing in ITR in there making it sound all godly cause it was made for an ITR that makes it funny

Compared to what? It's a typical honda motor where 3rd gear is it's best gear. I've driven and raced SiR's many times, so I know what they are like.

Like I said, even with those mods (real or otherwise) an SiR wouldn't touch a 99 or newer GT, but it would be able to keep up with a 97 or older from a 90kmh roll. From a stop tho, the GT would probably still take it, no matter what year.

Read the title of the thread smart guy. :rolleyes:

Edit: Last year at race city I saw a '00 GT run 15 flat, and i have the timeslip to proove it. It was an auto. In all my times at the track I have never seen a lightly modded SiR run faster then 16.00, i also have a timeslip to proove that. I think it would take a lot of motor work or FI to get an SiR to run high 14's.

No actually its a stick. And as for making fun of even a v6 mustang, if you drive a civic (and its not heavily modded) all you will ever see of a mustang (V6 or otherwise) is the back end.
The facts are simple: Mustangs have the best price-to-performance ratio of any car you can buy in Canada. A 2001 Mustang GT will cost around $30 000 canadian. With that you get 260hp , 302 ft/lb of torque. Whats the closest thing Honda can offer to that? A V6 Accord with 200hp and 195 ft/lb of torque?? Sorry, it gets SPANKED. A Prelude? I can beat a new prelude with my V6, so theres no need to involve a GT. A Honda S2000? Well it makes 240hp at 8300 rpm and 157 ft/lb torque at 7500 rpm, which 1999+ GT can still RAPE. Not only that, but this car costs $46 800 canadian dollars and that reaches Mustang Cobra territory...I think even you would know what will happen when a little S2000 or any other honda or nissan steps up to a 2003 cobra....

you know, I was going to close this thread, but since you brought Preludes into the mix, I've decided to join the fun.

I don't think you could really beat a "new" Prelude unless either it was an auto or if the guy was a bad driver. And I'm not doubting you beat one, but I'm positive a "new" Prelude could beat you. If you doubt me, lets go for a little run.

And I think a V6 Stang could beat a SiR stock vs. stock. It would be a different story if one of them were modded, but that would be an unfair comparison.

And I agree that a Mustang is probably the best bang for your buck if your looking for horsepower, but not everybody is concerned about a lot of hp. If all I wanted out of a car was hp, I would've bought a beat ass Mustang or an old Miata and modded the shit out of it rather than buy a Prelude. But that's not what all people want out of a car. But to each his own...

Again, look at what a Mustang GT (V8) costs- about $30 000 canadian. When a car costs that much, obviously its meant to be a quick mass production car. They are restricted to doing what can be done in the factory and cannot afford to tweak the engine or use certain materials (which would make the cost of the car go up) to increase hp. Name one car with a V8 that is comparable to a Mustang GT in terms of price AND performance. I guarantee you will have a hard time finding one. Also, keep in mind that a Cobra (between 1999 and 2002) also has a naturally aspirated V8 and it makes 320hp using this 4.6L V8. A new Corvette uses a 5.7L V8 to make 350hp. The corvette has an entire LITRE more of displacement and yet only makes 30hp more. So when you take all of that into account, 260hp out of a mass production V8 is DAMN SWEET when the car only costs $30 000.
And as for you saying that mustangs are not very fast cars....well i see that you drive the top of the line Stealth (the twin turbo version). Well why dont you go race a top of the line Mustang (like the cobra) and see how fast your car is....

Last- I forgot to ask earlier, but black94gt, I see you drive a 94 PGT...wtf is a PGT? Probe GT? If it is a probe, then dont bother replying...

What about in Z06 trim when the 5.7 is making some 400 odd hp? That's 70.2 hp per liter as opposed to the cobra's 69.6 hp per liter. It's the exact same 5.7 in the base vette's just at a different level of tune. I only said this to point out that the previous cobra motor really isn't all that great, and we won't get into the detonation problems it has had, thats a whole other story.

hey mathematics genius your math sucks 5.9rt the new cobra not in the same leagues as the zo6 but close makes 84.78 hp per liter vs the z06 72.8

just in cause you question my math 390/4.6=84.78 and 415/5.7=72.8 (cobra first corvette second)

5.9rt, if your talking about the "previous cobra motor", lets talk about the Mustang Cobra R. It was a 2000 release, while the Z06 has been released in both 2001 and 2002 so far. The Cobra R, using the same "previous cobra motor" (a 4.6L DOHC V8) puts out 385hp. Now, doing the math, that works out to...83.69 hp/litre.
Also, at the risk of sounding like a nitpicking nerd, the new cobra uses the same motor as the old one. The only difference is the roots supercharger...

385/4.6=83.69 hp/litre

The corvette Z06 puts out exactly 405hp from a 5.7 Litre LS8 generation V8.

405/5.7=71.05 hp/litre

Anyways, theres the math.

"some 400 odd hp"

Again, before you bash, read. I wasn't sure about the vettes hp # but i knew it was over 400 and that's why there's the "odd" after it. I was comparing the two because the cobra is the highest state of tune for the 4.6 just like the 5.7 is the highest state of tune in the Z06. I'm just talking motors here, it doesn't matter what car they are in, or if they are in the same class. As for the year, i just used the most recent numbers for both motors, but if we were to compare 01 to 01 the 4.6 would have a slight edge in hp/l. So don't get your panties all tied up in a bunch, and slow down when you read. Oh and try using periods and commas instead of just one long sentance because its hard to understand when someone just keeps talking in one long sentance and you dont know what they are trying to connect it just keeps going without end switching from one idea to the next its kinda hard to read dont you think?

5.9rt, yeah your right, but those new internals are only there to handle the added pressures and loads of the supercharger..the motor itself is still the same design.

Well no shit. How much hp do you think the 5.7 would churn out if an SC was strapped onto it? I only compared the NA to NA motors because thats the only fair way to do it. Just because a FI motor can crank out more hp/l then an NA motor does not make it better. In fact I would be quite disapointed if it didn't. Just for your info, the new turbo neon motor will put out more hp/l then the cobra's, and there are many import cars that put out much more hp/l in NA form. The cobra motor in NA or FI form isn't really all that special, and if you talk to the guys that race on these motors you'll find out that it takes a lot to hold them together too. Ford should have stuck with the 302, now that was a great motor.

SmelltheRubber
08-27-2002, 03:10 AM
Maybe...
But were way out of similiar price brackets here...if ford sold a mustang for as much as a corvette, you'd be damn sure that engine would make comparable power...now I see I shouldnt have brought up a corvette in the first place...
But while were ont he subject of motors... bring in a 2000 Camaro SS and a 2002 Firebird Trans Am- both these cars use pretty much the same motor as a corvette (using a LS1 5.7L V8) The 2002 Firebird Trans Am puts out 325hp and the Camaro SS puts out 320. The 2000 cobra puts out 320 from a 4.6L motor.
And all these cars cost around the same...

This whole argument is going nowhere......anyways all Ive been trying to say is that a 260hp V8 in a mass production car is not bad. Thats all...im done.

Just for the record, it's not right to compare a N/A motor like the Z06 to a supercharged engine like in the 2003 cobra when you're talking horsepower numbers.

Stock for stock, of course the corvette is better in every aspect...handling and power. That's why the mustang and the corvette aren't really in teh same league. The corvette also costs a hell of a lot more, but it's a good bang for the buck. The GT40 is supposed to combat the corvette and viper...mustang was supposed to match up against the camaro...and it never could until the camaro was discontinued.

Anyway, that's just how I see it.

Why not exactly? If they are measured using the same horsepower scale, it doesn't matter if we are comparing a V8 to a jet engine, regardless of aspiration.

But while were ont he subject of motors... bring in a 2000 Camaro SS and a 2002 Firebird Trans Am- both these cars use pretty much the same motor as a corvette (using a LS1 5.7L V8) The 2002 Firebird Trans Am puts out 325hp and the Camaro SS puts out 320. The 2000 cobra puts out 320 from a 4.6L motor.
And all these cars cost around the same...

This whole argument is going nowhere......anyways all Ive been trying to say is that a 260hp V8 in a mass production car is not bad. Thats all...im done.


"I'm just talking motors here, it doesn't matter what car they are in, or if they are in the same class."

Why did I say that? Well you tried to compare the base model vette motor to the cobra motor. Again these are two completely different cars, the cobra would get hammered by the base vette in all things performance. As for your camaro numbers next time you talk to a cobra guy ask how bad he gets beaten by those SS cars. When your racing it doesn't matter who has the most advanced motor, it's who can get to the finish line first. The ford 4.6's are POS, they have a weak bottom end, and for having DOHC's 320 hp really is pathetic. Stop trying to make excuses for the 4.6 and face the fact that the motors in the stangs arn't impressive. For the performance that you get, yes they are a good deal, but nothing about them is spectacular. If you had not said this:

"The corvette has an entire LITRE more of displacement and yet only makes 30hp more" (comparing the Cobra's 4.6 to the 5.7)

I would not have said anything, but you did. Before you go comparing shit make sure you know a little about them. The 5.7 is a million times the motor that the 4.6 will ever be.

4wheeldrift: You can't compare power outputs from an NA motor to a FI motor. Just look at racing, name one league that allows similar cars with similar displacement motors of both FI and NA to race against each other. It just doesn't happen, the FI motors would walk all over the NA motors. Isn't there some sort of correction tho for FI motors? Displacement x 0.5 + displacement = it's comparable NA motor? I don't know the exact calculation but I think thats pretty close.

It's just that somebody was using the 390hp of the 2003 cobra in their calculations against a Z06 engine to calculate the HP/litre. Comparing horsepower is fine, but when you compare HP/litre between a N/A car and a supercharged car...then I don't think that's fair until the Z06 is supercharged as well. In this context, at least, that's what I think.

I don't know the exact calculation but I think thats pretty close. Ever heard of an inlet restrictor? I can think of more than a couple of race series that let turbos and NA cars run together, but the turbo cars are always smaller displacement and are forced to carry ballast. There are ways to offset the advantages quite easily. Inlet restrictors, extra weight, smaller displacement, there are always ways to make all the cars equal. This is what makes the USTCC so interesting.

Yup. Doesn't change the fact that without changing the FI motor you can't compare the two.

I don't see why. Please enlighten me. Saying you can't compare to an FI motor and an NA motor of similar displacements is like saying you can't compare to identical motors that use different cam profiles. One is simple flowing more air than the other.

Who cares how old we are? What matters is what you have now. Who cares if 2 years down the road you have 200hp, because 2 years down the road, I could have 500hp for all you know. I don't think I've heard anybody say "I could've beaten your car 2 years ago". Nobody gives a shit man, what matters is NOW, not what your GOING to do, not what you've had, and not what you plan to have later on down the road.

why would you say that? i know i can take you no problem, and i think you should have bought a v8 if you were going to purchase a mustang.... the only type of people i see driving v6 mustangs are....well are women... its only a fact, if you would like to race id love to :guns:

Yeah well, im still only 18 and I managed to get the car for grade 12. I think its pretty damn sweet deal to get it as my first car and at this age too. You wont hear me complaining because it's a V6...
Most people my age cant even dream about driving something like that, let alone a 2001 model. So whether its a V6 or V8, I consider it downright lucky to be able to drive that. And if alot of chicks are driving V6's, well then they got good taste in their choice of car. And yes, im down for a good natured race anytime.

Theres reasons why i dont have a ford why do u think they diterate in valve so quick.

If i can make my car as fast as a v6 ill be happy cause ill know ill be getting better gas mileage doin it and it wont take much more for me to smoke the v6 cars.

You can have a balls out N/A drag car that can beat a Mustang. But not your SiR, or probably ANY SiR in Calgary can beat a new stock Mustang.
