yeah, most likely, with the 03 cobra coming in 2nd or 3rd.

 

ill def agree w/ you on that one Nomo

 

hey jug what do you drive.

 

A full race cro-moly tube frame will only be about 300-350lbs, that is just for the frame alone, a complete tube frame race car will be anywhere from 2000-2800lbs depending on drive train and some other varibles. So ya a Stang being 1500lbs would be darn near impossible. FWIW the real street Stang I work on is 3150 with a 210lb driver and 150lbs of ballest, so it is right around 2800lbs empty, and it is not a tube chassis car, but it is pretty much gutted.

 

a guy i know built a full tube frame f body...i think it weighed 2000lbs. hell, if he put a fiberglass shell on it, it would have been much less.

 

I agree completely. So what, a four banger beat a V-8. no big deal. Just because it's half of the engine compared to a GT or a cobra doesn't mean that it's goign to be slow. It's very impressive what can be done to the imports these days. I just hope that sometime soon Good 'ol american muscle will have as many decently priced mods.
But then again think, slap on a turbo or supercharger on a GT or Cobra, and put the srt-4 back on the line with it. i think i know which one will win. but i'm sure at that comment many people will have the come back of..."but it's a four banger, and the GT or Cobra is a V-8.

 

turbo 2.3, whats that matter though

 

first off...there is alot more then just hp and torque that goes into the equation here....if you have a 500 RWHP stang and a 500 RWHP skyline, the skyline would win....guaranteed!!! reasons for....weight difference....aerodynamics....transmission AWD....I'm not positivie, but I believe the skyline is a bit more efficient than a mustang...

example....I used to drive a turbo eclipse...weighed more than an 89-93 mustang....but I would spank them stock to stock, and the mustangs have more HP than me and more Torque....1. I know how to drive. 2. front wheel drive transfers power to the wheels faster and more efficiently 3. my car was more aerodynamic.

 

dude im pretty sure awd dsm's dont weigh nearly as much as any v8 mustang

 

my eclipse weighed 3600 lbs or was it 3800
