dude are you serious, the SVO mustang(4cyl Turbo) was faster then the gt of the same year.


its not a fake race if you and the other driver know that they are going into a complex road course type of race for time. thats the only way you can race a stang with a slow *** lancer. learn to turn with little or no brakes. sliding the rear end is easier then turning.

now if he wants to beat one in a stright line. no it wont happen motor to motor. maybe motor to turbo. maybe. but id just go evo or ralliart. remember your going up against a car that runs a lil better then a 14. and your hitting a 16.5.even with all the stuff from RRM to make power without a turbo your hit a 15.3-15.6 you still wont touch him. so you have to be a better technical driver then him.

 

just race him up in the mountains or zig zaggy roads.

 

It's a fake race if you're pitting an experienced driver against an amateur, you're not comparing cars at all, you're simply highlighting the difference between a good driver and a bad driver. As for the rest, you have to be ****ing kidding me.

 

This forum is getting more and more silly by the day. Mustang wins Lancer loses. End of story. No need for anymore what if's!!!!!!!!

 

i nver said go after him if hes an amature. just you dont see alot of drivers getting good at twisty roads. mostly us with FF and AWD. not many FR unless its a good drift area. even then drifting is very hard.

thank you thats what im saying to them.

 

I have you no idea what you even mean by this.

 

Is it possible? Yes. Would it be expensive? Yes. Is this worth it to you? Who knows.

Anything is possible with some determination and some serious green, but wether or not it is worth it is up to you. If you would do it you would have one sleeper car and it would be fun to see the reactions on the faces you beat. However, you would probably be better off just using this as a DD and investing in a better platform for serious HP/TQ. I am not bashing you, I hope you do it so I can see what the final product is like and the numbers you are putting down. I am sure if you read around on the boards and ask a couple good reputable engine shops someone could help you out with the parts wether they be custom or not, but here lies the rub custom = $$$$...

 

honestly id rather to get and evo and change out the bumpers and take the wing off to make it look like a regular lancer and use it as a sleeper.

 

So true!

 

Just get an AIC controller, a T4 turbo, Direct port Nitrous injection, and a standalone fuel management system

Its gonna cost you around 10 grand, but it will be worth it to spank the mustang

 

really? ive only driven a mustang once and rode with one a couple of times..and next to one..and from all my experience they handle horribly..from what i seen they lose traction easlily taking corners and end up sideways..or it could just be horrible drivers..

not saying the lancer handles better than the mustang but the lancer does handle respectably good for non performance FWD Eco Car..handles better than my Si did

 

They don't handle horribly, that's classic anti-domestic rhetoric. The problem with Mustangs is they're RWD and often driven by idiots that think Dukes of Hazzard was a racing show.
If you look at the stats, the SI and the Mustang destroy the Lancer in the handling department.

 

they have alright handling i had a 98 gt mustang did a engine swap with a 02 5.0 but new cam piston rods forged piston heads valves headers straight duals with no cat(sounded like a freaking rocket) fuel injectors the thing had about 400 hp until about a year later tried runnin nos blew the shet up gave it to a buddy and he did same thing but threw on the supercharger....it was nasty but 0 handling drifted alot (which i loved to do) so im sure once you bring him on a windy road he done

 

First off, that's a 98. Second, if you're running 400 HP through the rear wheels, it will be a handful. Since I doubt you're a professional driver, that probably explains the "poor handling" which is actually poor driving. A new Mustang would absolutely kill a Lancer.

 

Essentially what you are describing is a car that is too much for that driver to handle! If you know how to handle the power and ease the clutch and acceleration equally, you get a smooth slide out of corners, rather then sliding the *** end around like a fish tail. That is from the movies as mentioned before. It is all about the driver. No way, a Lancer will out handle a Mustang will equally high caliber drivers! Just ain't gonna happen, and I still don't know why we are even still discussing this issue. It is a mute issue, and will never be a issue or a close comparison!
