Hey guys. A buddy of mine has a Stock Chrysler 300, 5.7L V8. I read up how it has 340 HP, but then again, is also a heavy beast.

He wants to do a friendly run, and thinks it will easily take my Mustang. I'm all for it, but it's all about the time and place. (He loves the Mustang, and owned a 92 Fox I believe)

So how will my Mustang fair against the 300? I own a completely stock 2006 Mustang GT, 5 speed with stock 17" rims, Goodyear tires. His 300C is stock but has aftermarket 22" rims.

I would guess it will be fairly close with the edge going to the mustang. Especially from a dig you'll have an advantage. Not sure what the lb./hp ratio breaks down to on the 340hp models vs. the 300hp GT but the extra weight pretty much cancels out that 40hp advantage.

And those 22's are going to help him any.

Those wheels will slow him down a lot, unless they are super lightweight.

LS WHAT

if you can launch, you will leave him bad, I would be surprised if you didn't

I'm guessing the Fysler is going to want a roll "race".

The Chrysler should get slaughtered if you drive right.

I have a 6 and just the other day(Friday) I was coming off an entrance ramp to the local beltway(495 for those familiar) I was behind a 90-91 convertible 350z that wanted to run, and thought he could take me, I stuck with him and had to slam on my brakes not to hit him, well he either pussed out or thought I had more! Anyways I merged quickly to the left lane(4 lanes) here comes a chrysler 300 riding my bumper, I'm in 4th rolling at 65-70 mph(in the sweet spot of the rpm curve) I punch the pedal and leave him behind! He decided to take the same exit as me and I'm doing 65 on the ramp and as I merge I take it to 90(pretty F ing stupid in this area) but it is what it is! He was into it as well but for every time he would get close I would floor it and leave him well behind! I then decided to slow to 5 below the speed limit and he wanted nothing to do with me, just stayed back! When I got home I looked up the hp of a chrysler 300 and benefit of the doubt had 250 hp because I saw now hemi badges! Made me feel good even though it was stupid to go that fast in a 55! You with a 4.6 will spank that

You should handle him pretty easily.
