Chadwick Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 mustangs have a muscle car history, and when comparing it to any other car the assumed race is a drag race, there are other cars from ford and the rest of the american automakers designed for tracks. If you want to race on a track use the new gt40 from ford, if you want to race at the strip use the mustang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golemn Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Just to Clarify for all those, the 350Z is not called a 350Z due to horsepower. It his called the 350Z because it has a 3.5 liter. 240Sx has a 2.4 liter. 300 zx has a 3.0 liter. I think you all get the picture. It is not done by horsepower numbers at all.

Great job, I said people were claiming that it was 350z due to 350 HP in Europe. That's what caused the confusion which in no way deserved a kick to the mouth from you.

vraa Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Does it really matter who wins? The Supra you can't get new anymore, and like someone already stated, is out of it's prime. As much respect I have for the Supra, it's just outdated. Sure, I love seeing that 2JZ run 1400hp and whatnot, but really, there are reasons why it got killed killed off. If the car isn't a streetable car, I'm not impressed. The Mustang is a fantastic car, sweet bang for its buck. However, I think unless SVT can get their hands on it, power is very lacking. Although, it's worth noting that (IIRC, Onelap? or was it SCCA something) the 'Stang's new suspension helped whip up some 3-Series around the track! 03' Cobra can't be beat.. cough cough except by some four door mommy sedans. Haha. Oh the 350z. What a beautiful car. The V35Q (I think that's what it's called) is such a sweet engine and responds wonderfully to mods. However, it's just not attractive to me, and because of that, I'll pass and pick the G35 is I really had to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottieG Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 it seems like this is a classic case of fast and the furious hype. althought he supra is a really nice car... the saleen has 390 hp and is N/A vs a 320 supra thats TT. Saleen by far I've seen many 03+ cobras (389hp) spank supras. now remember folks we are talking about stock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, why is everyone having such a hard time comprehending... BTW the new Ford GT shares nothing but a name with the original.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vraa Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I thought the Cobra was 340 hp? I remember watching videos of E55's eating Cobras. :) Chadwick: Actually not even the name. The new car is called the Ford GT while the previous was the Ford GT40. :) Extended64: How much is the Z06? 70k$? Let's say 90K$ loaded. That means if you double that you get 180k$. I have yet to find a dealer that will sell me a Ford GT for 180K$ right now. Sadly, a fantastic product was spoiled by dealers trying to squeeze idiots out of some money.
