Mustang GT???

[1slowdsm]

So there is this guy at my school who drives an '02 Mustang GT. If some of you guys remember, it was the guy who has all the SVT badgings over the GT badgings. But anywho...I'm just wondering how quick would one of those Mustangs be? Its an automatic also...it looks nice, but the kid is being cocky about his car. Its all stock, but a nice hood and front bumber. He was talking about how he'd be able to waste me...since I only have a 4 cylinder. I'm just wondering how quick those Mustangs are. I've raced a Mustang Bullitt at the track, but I dont know if the GT or the Bullitt is quicker. My car isnt all that quick either, but I think I'd give him a really good run. I'm just waiting to talk to him again sometime and see if he wants to race. I'm still going for the quickest car at school and there's only a GT and an early 80's Firebird keeping me from reaching the goal...haha. Oh yeah, if RedStal95 reads this...he should be of a lot of help since he's into the Mustang.

If he's a stock auto GT he probably runs low15's at best.
Stockish DSM AWD > Stockish Rustang GT

Mustangs are slow. Make sure before you beat him, you remind him that your car has 1/5 the total displacement of his car. ;)

1/5th??? if 1slowdsm has a 2.0 then that would mean the mustang would have a 10.0 liter. LOL

I'll just say I have a 4 banger with 1/2 his displacement. I just did some research and they're rated at a low 14 stock. He isnt a professional, so I think I can take him from a dead stop. But on the highway, my car isnt all that quick. The awd doesnt help with my 3rd gear downshifts. I've beated my friend with a '91 Camaro 5.0 V8...he was talking about wasting me also. These people at my school dont know much about cars...except that its a V8 5.0 liter compared to my 4 cylinder 2.0 liter. Oh yeah, my friend with a new Pontiac Grand Am or Prix V6 says he'll beat me too...since he has more horse than I do...haha. It pisses me off sometimes, but I dont mind. I'll just race them and see what happens.

umm, 02 stangs w/ autos can run low 14's stock. Not sure where you are getting 15 seconds from.

I'm a stang guy also, I would find it hard to believe if he could run faster than 14.5 with that auto.

[1slowdsm]

I was thinking the same thing too...hehe.

[SpicyOrange]

Ohh yeah and 02's don't have 5.0's they have 4.6's

[1slowdsm]

Ohh yeah and 02's don't have 5.0's they have 4.6's

Haha..I totally forgot about that, too. Hmm...I'm just curious. Would a '96 or '95 GT be quicker than a '02 GT? I work with a guy who's got a '96 or '95 GT and I've only sort of raced him. Didnt really got at it until he was like 5 cars away then I decided to go at it...only time I raced him was the only time I wasnt thinking!
