Default Is my 2007 V6 Mustang faster than a 2003 Tiburon GT?

I was wondering if my 2007 V6 Mustang would win against a stock 2003 Tiburon GT? My Mustang has 215 hp to the wheels.

215 to the wheels? What mods do you have? Auto or manual? In theory yes it will be, but depends on quite a few factors.

It is an automatic. It has a BBK throttle body, BBK cold air intake, off road h pipe, Pype bomb muffler deletes, and a Bama 93 octane racing tune. The Tiburon has a Weapon R cold air intake and the rest is stock. This guy with the Tiburon bets money he can beat my V6 because his is lighter. I want to make sure I could win before putting any money down.

It was also dynoed for 215 rwhp, which I think is like 260 to the crank.

is his the v6 or inline 4 cylinder? i honestly would think u have him, but definetly need to take the race seriously and put all u can into it

after some research, stock numbers for 0-60mph and for the 1/4 mile say ur times r better across the board even though u weigh more. so u should win

CAI, throttle body, exhaust, and tune won't add 50 rwhp on a V6... The autos dyno at about 165whp stock. You are probably sitting right around 185-190whp or so. Do you have a dyno sheet? Quite interesting.

Offroad H-pipe AND muffler deletes, good grief please post videos what this thing sounds like!

215rwhp is about 240-250 crank through an auto.

LOL! That 4.0 would sound NOTHING like a V8 with the same exhaust setup, or maybe that is just what you tell yourself?
