i used to have that mustang
and that car not even close to my stock evo
go get that****

 

brian when u race him let us know im sure a couple of us would like to see it

 

Umm, no I'm not. Its just a reference from their road tests. I think most of us have put a GT in its place more than once.

 

On dragtimes.com (where REAL people (not magazines) post up their times and timeslips) the fastest stock 2004 Mustang GT I could find was 14.0x, there was two of them, both stock, same time (14.0x), so I'm pretty sure the topic started can win.

 

I think off a roll it would be a good race, but off the dig, it's going to be all Evo.

The Mustang GT has a modular motor, plus dohc, which tend to make power up top. A buddy of mine has a GT, and it's surprisingly quick off the roll, especially at around 60mph+. I had a few mods to my LT1 Camaro, and he would pull me from about 60mph up to around 100mph before I'd start reeling him in to pass him.

I've never raced an Evo, but from what I've heard, their top end isn't real strong. Also keep in mind, despite the weight advantage, the AWD will eat up more power because of the additional reciprocating mass of the AWD system. Even though the Evo has 276hp (286hp now?), it may only be putting down 230whp, while the Mustang may be putting down more because of the RWD not sucking up as much power through the drivetrain.

I'd much prefer the Evo to a Mustang. They can both be made pretty quick for reasonable sums, but the Evo is the more well-rounded performer, bar none. In extremely high hp applications (500+hp) I think I'd take the V8, but anything under that, I'll take the Evo's 4g63. Once hitting 500hp with a 4cyl, things start to get very expensive.

 

I've never been beat by a mustang, even stock.

when i was running high 14's at the track(still learning to launch AWD) i was beating ever GT there includeing a 05 that had at least an exhaust done to it.

you with ANY mods will own it bad, also a guy on base here has about a 95 gt and its got a little work done to ti and it runs 15's.... he might suck at driveing but hell thats slow

 

Mustangs are ugly, low quality cars engineered and manufactured by lazy union employees who take smoke breaks every 30 minutes. All they can do is go in a straight line faster than the average car. Your EVO competes with $100K sports as well as rally cars, but looks a little strange, enjoy your car for what it's worth, there are very few cars like it. BTW, don't even bother racing that GT trash - it will leave a bad taste in you mouth.

 

Uh, not to disagree with your "excellent" portrayal of American cars, but the last I heard, Mitsubishis aren't exactly known for their stellar quality.

Secondly, Mustangs were never meant to corner on rails, but they will corner. I've driven plenty of them to know. They're not going to outhandle an STi or an Evo, but they aren't the poor handling cars that you make them out to be. You're way off the mark.

But I will agree with you that union workers do tend to be lazy. The only people that are in favor of unions are people that don't want to work.

It's attitudes like yours portrayed above that is the cause for so much animosity between domestic and import fans. Try being an ENTHUSIAST instead of a fanboy, and you just may surprise yourself with how much more enjoyable the automotive hobby can be. Just a suggestion......

You can say what you want about Mustang drivers, Camaro drivers, Vette drivers, etc., but when it all comes down to it, even among the domestic owners, the STi and Evo are some of the most respected performance cars on the road. Most people that I know that own Camaros and Mustangs also have either an STi or an Evo parked in their garage as well, and in some cases, both, which are their daily drivers.

 

Yeah. Everyone know that Mitusibishi is a great company that has a reputation for quality cars LOL.

 

Ok...back to what he was asking...

A coworker of mine has a 2003 GT, with exhaust and a 4 point rear - otherwise stock. Him and I go to the dragway all the time. Best he has ever gone was a 14.0x. I have similar mods as you do but I try not to push my trans. and I run 13.0x's. We have gone up against each other many times at the strip.

Its not a race.

 

I didn't join this forum to start flame wars, so I'm not going to mention Mitsubishi's financial woes, or quality issues. Finances and quality aside, Mitsubishi makes one of the greatest performance cars on the planet; the Evolution. It does it all. It accelerates and handles better than all of the cars in its price range, and also accelerates just as well. The best bargain on the planet is the Mitsubishi Evolution RS. No, it's not the prettiest of the Evolution bunch, but it gets the job done. I'd just prefer to purchase a wing for an RS, if I were to own one. They're the lightest, and they're also the fastest. As long as it has air conditioning, heat, and a manual I can live with it. I just wouldn't want it as a daily driver. It's a bit on the raw side.

I'm just going to choose to ignore future posts by the previous, because he's clearly not a positive influence of the forum, and appears to be here more to start trouble than to enjoy the automotive hobby. I'm nearly positive that he will reply back with some sort of flame.

I think we should all just do the same and overlook him......

 

I raced a cobra when i just had intake,exhaust and evc, and pulled him by 4 cars with about 200people watching, believe him and his crew was disappointed.

 

Am I wrong or is the EVO's AWD system viscous? Doesn't that mean that the car is FWD until the front wheels start to slip? IF that's true then the AWD system wouldn't "eat HP on the highway" but the weight is still there.

 

When I was STOCK I beat a STOCK 2003 Mustang GT from a roll-on... in Sweden...

You should most definitely kill it with ease. Its heavier, and has less power, and you have the advantage with traction from a dig. Dont sweat it. I wouldnt even if you were stock.

 

on the expressway awd isnt that impressive unless your going around curves, understand all power to one spot on a staightaway is better than to four spots,if uyou understand, from a standstill its the complete opposite
