95 5spd vs 1999 Mustang

[b00b]

So a week or so along my friend setted up a race for me with a 1999 Mustang V6 35th anniversary edition [auto]. 190 HP.* He was like, "dude... your going to get smoked." So we went to this drag strip that we always go to. It's around a 1/4 mile. No cars no people. Damn floor was wet [had no traction throughout 1st and 2nd] so I lost to him the 1st 3 rounds. He got all cocky and started making fun of my car. On the last and final race that determined the winner. I launched at idle and smoked his ass by 2-3 car lengths. After that, not a single word was said. I think I need to stop this racing habit. Racing should only be for the track :).

EDIT: 190 HP

Sorry but there is no such thing as a 1999 230hp v6 35th year anniversary mustang. The 35th year mustang is just a GT with exterior and interior differences that were otherwise not available on other 99 mustangs. Meaning it's a 260hp/302tq V8, not a V6. It only came in red, black, white, or silver

Mustangs... what a sad challenge. I lined up next to a ~2002 GT 5-speed once, kid had some loud-azz pipes on it, and he barely got past me as we hit about 100 mph. In his defense, he had 4 people in the car, I had 2. But still, a Mustang should already weigh significantly less than a Maxima.

actually those car are heavy as hell.. around 3200lb

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

a 2002 gt is 3200+, so it's not lighter than a max.

lol wow. The guy was like "I have 230 Horses. This is a special 35th anny edition and is faster then the other ones."

yeah, when he told me to race him, i knew i was going to smoke him.

"Mustang’s engine has been optimized in order to obtain greater horsepower and improve its performance. At 190 horsepower, its V-6 engine got a boost of 40 hp. The V-8’s horsepower has been increased by 35 to 260 hp."

[98se5speed]

wow, so it's ugly, can't possibly move in the snow, has the worst interior ergonomics I've ever experienced AND it's heavy as hell??? Those Mustangs truly are the epitome of horrible.
My neighbor's wife has a ~2003 V6 automatic Mustang. Every now and then someone (who has no clue) will start talking about it like it's really somethin'. I just laugh, knowing my 4-door family car would make it look reaaaaal silly in a race. Hell, my Caravan almost would too.

[Biggs]

so how fast do these gt runs? i heard it's like low 14's right? i know the v6 is like crap....

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

Actually I think it's only 14.6 in the quarter mile or so. Stock for stock a 2k2 6spd max would be about even with it, but most likley faster.

That's not cool, the power is getting to your head. I think you need a 2 year ban.

[98se5speed]

I figured you'd get a laugh out of it.

besides sigs are easy to change.
if you had been offended you could have changed it back

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

Now we need to bug biggs to let us change people's avatars and custom titles.

[Mr.Duck]

power hungry are we?

talk about off topic, topic closed

[Brian]

better idea would be to split the topic.
