92 or 93 (preferably 92 because they have forged pistons). the other affordable years (94-95 and 96-98) are really questionable because high end civics and tegscan give them a serious run for their money.

87-95 gt's 5.0, all nice looks, 94 or 95, power 87-93, but itsa really up to you, u could do alot to the 87-93 5.0's and they are alot lighter id personaly go with the 87-93 gt. But in all end no matter what its what u like.

Jugador you go argue with the people over at edmunds.com if you think what I was telling him was wrong. You might know about cars but I'm pretty sure they know just a tad bit more seeing as how they have one of the biggest car sites on the net. Like I said I'm just telling you what they say on edmunds.com</P>


Not to mention I also looked on autotrader.com, cars.com, edmunds.com, autobytel.com, and kelleybluebook.com and they all list around the same weight range not 1200-1500 lbs off.</P>


Another thing, no matter what year mustang you buy 5.0 or 4.6 there will be some civic out there that can give you a run for your money.High end is such a general statement that I'm not even sure what you mean by it.If you are just looking to beat civics then any year mustang will do fine except maybe the 4 cylinder stangs if u kept it stock. IMO 94+ look better than the 92 &amp; 93. If you are going all performance then I would go with 92 or 93. </P>

How do you know they are way off? Have u personally weighted one or personally see one weighted right out of the factory?</P>


Because if you havent then there is no way you can make those accusations, if you have then good for you but I'm going to keep trusting those 5 huge car sites that say otherwise.</P>


Still a bit confused what u mean by a "higher trim civics and tegs are a drivers race vs gt's 94-98 stock for stock". Doesnt sound like proper english to me but maybe I'm just not reading it right or something. How it sounds is your saying its a race between like a stock Civic Si and a stock GT. If that is what you are saying then you are smoking something. My friend has a 95 Civic Si Hatchback with every bolt on and a few other engine mods like cams and I have a 96 stock GT and we raced and I won without much trouble.</P>

you're just a typical "mustang is god" owner</P>


the weight...get a god damn clue foo. you're on crack to think a mustang weighs only a ton.</P>


the civic...im not too familiar with all the honda engines, but last i checked,most si's and gsr's and typer's and SN95 gt'srun about 15's give or take a little in either direction. drivers race.</P>

I never said "Mustang is god" There are tons of cars that are better than mustangs. What I am saying is you need to get off your high horse and stop acting like you know everything. you are saying all this stuff yet you have nothing to back up what you are saying. You say you know the weights of all these cars. What did u just magically wake up one day and knew all of them?</P>


Last time I checked a ton was 2000 lbs. I said the 92 and 93 weighted around 2800 so please read my posts correctly before you bash them. I said that the 96 might weight 3000 pounds but I wasent sure. That 94+(other than the 96) weight around 3200pounds.</P>


I dont know that much about civic's and integra's either but I know you just listed 3 completely different cars. You are rarely ever gonna see a type R anything. Those are made strictly in Japan and would have to be specially imported over here. I hightly doubt the Integra GS-R is runnign low 15's. I know Civic Si's arent running low 15's because I told u about my friend with the modded Si and he runs low 15's and that is a quite moddified car. The SN95 is putting out the same amount of power as my car is. 215 hp 285 torque only major difference I know of is that it has the 5.0 instead of the 4.6. I'm not completely sure about that though so dont quote me on it. My 96 GT is suppose to be running high 14's low 15's.Havent taken it to the dragsyet to be sure of that but that is what numerous people have said.None of those cars you listed except the type R's will run 15's.</P>


I aint knocking 4 cylinder stangs either. I said if you keep them stock then civic's might be able to keep up with it. There are some really good 4 cylinder stangs out there.</P>
