Maybe typical cars, but he said it was an Evo....those are are AWD. With the proper driver he will destroya typicalMustangs from a dig.

good call. I didn't see that it was an Evo.

unless he knows to lauch it from a high RPM... you'll get him becuase the AWD and turbo lag will bog the motor seriously... and by the time he gets up and goes, you'll be gone!

I get real good off ofdigs and quite good rolls against the little sportsters around here like the bmw z4 XP

well I raced a ls1 from a dig, and he got me by 1 car by the time we hit 3rd... but then i was edgin back up to about the middle of his door when we ran out of road... he has an auto with a shift kit.. I was pretty pleased though considering his power advantage and shift kit /programmer... however from a roll I have a much better chance of taking him, in the mid range anyway.. once we get around 80-100 his power advantage comes back in.

if u have good tires from a dig is the best place for a stang to race, but if u got a sn95 cobra or a 4 valve swap the roll is the best place to race, ifu have a gt a dig
simple as that

Dig FTW. I used to hate Mustangs back when I raced old Chevys because they were always factory geared 3.xx or higher in the rear AND in the tranny. Lets take my Nova for instance; 400~ Motor torque, weighed in at 3,120 "dry", 2.74:1 1st gear & 2.56:1 rear gear (lame I know). A New Edge would tear my **** out of the hole and for 1/2 the quarter run because I was up against serious gearing compared to my set-up i.e.; 3.35:1 first and 3.27 rear. From a Roll, the New Edge was at a way bigger disadvantage when gearing was a little more balanced and the motor was able to take over (I won 99% of all races with that car AFTER half of the quarter cause of those damn 2.56 rear gears, I would shift into 3rd (1:1, like our 4th) at 115MPH). Let the Mustangs middle-of-the-spectrum wieght and numerically high gearing help you all it can.

Dig hands down.

I have outrun more people with faster cars than me from a dig than I can count, simply by being able to launch.

From the intro of the 5.0L HO, Mustangs have been known for being quick, not necessarily fast, but quick. The Mustang owned the F-bodies because of this, even though they had less power and had difficulty which "roll-races." That tradition has pretty much continued.

When can you use that 60-120 acceleration, really? 0-80 is much more useful.

Unlike other important matters, it's all about getting out of the hole.

Dig for sure. Even with all the good stuff it seems like mustangs have sharty response when you mash the throttle
