How's my standard Vette stand against any year Ford Mustang standard V6 or V8 with no mod?


My Corvette's specs:

1989 Coupe L98
no modification
BF Goodrich tires

:auto:

TM-Z06

87-93 5.0L Mustang will take you.
94-95 5.0L will be close
96-98 4.6L v8 you will walk
99+ you will get out of the hole, but they'll run you down.

I disagree about the 87-93 5.0 beating you.

You should run around a 14.0.

Those Mustangs would run around a 14.5.

:iagree:

The 87-93 will go ahead 2-3 car lengths off the start but the L98 will walk past it by the time you hit the 1/4 mark :rofl:

I know you didn't put V6 mustang in there!!! :mad :mad :mad

Whether a mustang could beat a L-98 or not. Who cares. Its a plain jane looking mustang. Ask if a mustang back then would beat a iroc camaro or
trans-am. A car more comprable. And in the same class. Keep mustangs where they belong, in the wanna be exotic sports car

For the record, my old 94 S-10 etended cab shortbed 4x4 bone stock plus K&N drop in filter beat a 97 V-6 mustang at the strip and yes, I have three timeslips to prove it. Disclaimer: I beat my buddys stock 150 hp v-6 mustang with a drop in K&N also. I have no delusions of my old truck beating a newer <approx> 200 hp v-6 mustang.

Just my two cents

The only "stock" Mustang you need to worry about is the 2003 Cobra.

vader86

The late 90s Cobras will run close, the newer ones can beat you

Whats a mustang

1990CORVETTE

:iagree:

It gets pretty bad when we gotta compare our cars with a POS Ford....... I hate Mustangs,,,,all of them except the Rousch, thats bad
To date havent had one go by me :thumbs:

one thing Anything can happen on the street!
I've raced several stangs with all engines...and finding a "STOCK 5.0" would be a miracle in itself...they ain't out there and if they are they don't race.
Only ones you have to really watch out for are the DOHCs..they're quick.I'm a fan of the 4.6 DOHC I had five MarkVIIIs one being a 10.9 car with 21lbsTtrim..good engine and very suprising on the strip.I do have a friend with a 96 Cobra..not stock ..3.73s MAF,TB,Tremec trans and a few other goodies.I've run him sereral times in my bone stock 90 (110k ) and he is a dead even run until 110 he pulls maybe a fender and holds it then around 135 I come back and start pulling hard...and yes he can drive and I can as well...best times in his car were 8.40s(1/8) with me driving he also pulls 8.40s but these times were on full slicks..on streets(like when he ran me) he is a 8.90-9.00 car.

This past summer I saw a brand new Saleen convertible (witht he 18-inch wheels and fancy bodywork) get waxed by a Ram Air TA over and over and over...
I was not impressed. :yawn:

86_RedRider

depends on which saleen. if it's just a S281. all it has is body work. if it's a s281-e, 445HP

Light to light you'll waste a 5.0. Track samething. They're dogs.
Late model Mustang don't even think about it.
But there is a Corvette that will beat every Mustang out there. The Z06 will run with the Viper.
I like Mustangs there just not fast.

cicch95

And any other Cobra for that matter.

:iagree:

War Machine

Yes, your probably right.

I got carried away and forgot Bugleboy84 was unmodded.

68vetteguy

lets compare apples to apples the new cobra is supercharged they had to do that to wake them up.Lets supercharge a vette and we will talk.Oh wait the regular asperated z06 is faster than the mustang oh is'nt the mustang still on the same 1974 f-150 chassis or maybe im wrong hehehehe.
