which would you guys rather own??? i read in car and driver a couple months ago how they GTO had better power and it kinda shocked me. i would rather have a new GTO cause i think they look better than the new Mustang.

GTO just to be different? It looks like every other Pontiac...and the charger doesnt look different either. Atleast the Mustang actually looks how its roots did.

I'd take the Mustang GT, hands-down!

Goat for sure! the new '05 are far out! corvette power but alot cheeper. the new rustang's (opps i ment mustangs) look even fugglyer than the old ones did (which were pretty bad) and the power isnt that great.

I would take my 1966 shelby over any of them. That goes for the new ones as well. If is not a pony, forget it. To easy to mod! To easy to work on!

I would go with the GTO i hate it when people say " oh thats not a real GTO its just a V 8 Grand prix" the original GTO was based of a La mans witch is what the Grand Prix is today and they just put a big HO V8 in it back then so i think it goes back to its roots some what. I have read that the GTO will easily take a New mustang GT the new Ram air one that is coming out is sopossed to be even faster i have ridin in an 04 GTO and they deffenatly go

I like that stang, but i do not like the newer rims, should get a pair of cobra or shelby rims, or some nice bullet rims. Any older rims would look trick of that. I love the hood tho.

Matt37
02-08-2005, 03:06 PM
I do agree that the new GTO is to plain looking but GM is trying to make it more interesting with the addition of the hood scoops and the wing on the 05's. And in the next 2 years there coming out wit the Judge version of the GTO and it will have 450 HP i believe with the judge graphics kit. I have a 69 Judge and i think that would be cool if i had a new judge and an old one hopefully GM will really come out with that right now it is all speculation. As for the mustang hopefully they will continue to make the mustang better because since the early 80's ford has done nothing with the mustang in my opinion. I mean the 5.0 are POS's that high school kids buy to beat the crap out of in my opinion and some of the other mustang body styles in the past were :eek2:

i hate 350's, everybody and their mama has one, i don't think of them as power at all, i think they are just to go from one place to another

also, i dought they have 350's in such a new car with it bein an 05 but i don't know

and don't tell me you think bigger displacement=faster cuz it dosen't, i could go on about how and why but i don't have that kind of time. the mustang has overhead cams. dual? i don't know but our mach 1 has duals and it is fast, and my 5.0 could take and has taken 350's easy

just sayin:p

Yes, their are fast stangs out there, but their just like 400ex's.

The new mustangs are pretty mean looking and the new GTO is just a dissapointment, here I thought they were going to bring the GTO name some justice. But just an australian version of the grandprix. GM let me down on that one.

Shows how much you know. They run the exact same 1/4 mile, 13.3 for the GTO 13.6 for the Stang. The GTO has 400bhp and the stang has 300bhp. They are very simular, but the mustang is much lighter, and more agile. They Mustang won the shootout between the GTO -vs- Mustang by 1 point :)

3 tenths in drag racing means you just got your ***** kicked. Regardless, I would rather have the Mustang, spend a couple hundred bucks on a set of gears, and atleast equal the GTO in the quarter and still be much better everywhere else.

Your S10 with a 350 is alot more like a 400ex. Older chassis platform, with an older tech motor. One cam, in the block, 2 valves per cylinder. My Mach has 4 cams (DOHC) and 32 valves...and probably makes more HP than your 350 with only 281 cubic inches.

the retard who said the 350 are common and everyone in their grandma's got one is full of dirt most sport cars are on the road today are mustangs.... mustangs are nice, but if i had a choice of a 4.6 or a 5.7 i would choose the 5.7...

the mustang has an better chasis, BUT it dont have as much balls of an 350 camaro..


i never driven the GTO, so i couldnt compare the mustang to that...



also the 4.6 auto mustangs are SLOW very very very SLOW i would never buy an auto mustang..


also i driven a 02 cobra but it wasnt no where near stock and he is having trouble keeping up with built trucks ....(cummins/duramax/powerstroke)

Chef
02-12-2005, 02:54 PM
An 02 Cobra thats no where near stock is having trouble keeping up with built trucks? LMAO. You have set a new record for being full of $hit. Theres a Mach 1 and a built powerstroke sitting in my driveway right next to each other right now, and the powerstroke doesn't even compare. I'm not 100% sure that they built a Cobra in 02, so if that was a Typo and you meant 03 (with the blower) then I know you are an idiot. If it was supposed to be 01, then its the same as my mach, and you are still an idiot.

Scott-300ex
02-12-2005, 03:05 PM
yeah man, those trucks run like 17 seconds average, the cobras are 14s and the 04s are 13s


i know lots of people got mustangs, but you come where i live and compare mustangs to 350s, my friends always say they are gettin a new car or truck thats a chevy, and i say let me guess 350? and it always is

When I said the mustang was like a 400ex, I meant everyone owns one, not that it was outdated and slow. They are fast cars, just not for me.

My R is outdated and it still puts the new tech to shame, But because its older its a crappy quad.

Yes, I have an old tech motor and tranny from a camaro and it also cost under $2000CDN. But it doesnt bother me too much that its outdated, when its infront of stangs that are worth way more.

I havent dynoed or dragged my s10 at the strip, but the previous owner of my s10, has recently built another because he missed my truck. Runs 13's on a stock 350 from a camaro as well.

I also can say I bought it with my own money, and also pay for insurance. Im willing to bet, your daddy bought you your car and pays for your insurance.

Yep. He did. And it really doesn't matter to me what you think about it. Just because the R is old doesn't mean its a piece of crap...my R is the fastest bike I've ever been on...We own 2 cars with 358 chevy's that are fast as all hell.

Why do you have to stand up for Mustangs? I think their fast cars, I wasnt putting them down at all. I was just stating their a common car, just like a 400ex is a common quad. I guess your going to tell me they arent common?

I dont know if my truck is faster than your car. Probably not, never raced a 2004 stang. My s10 beats my friends 5.0, but thats from the 80's. My truck has a motorswap 4.3L, to 350. I dont know the differences between his 1980's car and your 2004 mustang, but maybe somebody could tell me.

80s are 5.0's, 04's are 4.6's

differnent body

same handling

are the 5.0's faster than 4.6's, or does the technology difference make up for the smaller motor?

I've heard both

BUT

the 4.6 didn't have overhead cams, the new gts do like the 04's have single overheads, and the mach 1 and cobra have dual

i think the 5.0 is faster stock, about the same horsepower, torque i don't know, which torque wins races not horsepower like everyone thinks, i think the 5.0 is a little faster, not just becuase i have one, there are lots of mods for both of them, tons, but a lot more mods for the 5.0 to buy

my parents have a mach 1 and evertime we raced i beat it

they got a 4.6 dual overhead cams, cobra engine without the supercharger, and my 5.0, mods in my sig

i would get either, but i love the 80's body style the best, and the 5.0, lol

The 4.6's have always had overhead cams as far as I know. As far as 5,0's vs the Mach 1...All the 5.0's I've seen (close to stock-its alot cheaper to build a 5.0 than a DOHC) don't hold a candle to my car.

Lemme clear up some thing, ive just read through so much bull I cant even remember it all but I'll hit the high points....

-All 4.6 engines are modular meaning they have overhead camshafts. All GT's and any Ford-Linc-Merc passenger cars and trucks have single overhead cams. All Cobras, Machs, 99-04 Navigators, Continentals and Marks have dual overhead cams with 4 valves per cylinder.

-I dont like GM's, but the LS1-6 engines are fast and great engines. They have to be, after all they copied a ford on them. If you take a cylinder head off of an LS1 engine, its almost hard to differ them from an aluminum SB windsor series cylinder head. This is exactly why they are fast, but still, the downfall was they copied Fords old technology when they should have copied the new technology I.E. Modular engines.

-The guy who stated Horsepower doesnt win races, torque does. You are absolutely correct, those who dont know should take note.

-To the other statement that cubic inches arent always faster. Yes they are. Given two engines with identical counterparts and identical situations and weather, the engine with the most cubes will win. The reason that Mach outruns the GTO isnt due to cubes, its due to technology which GM is dumbfounded by, evidently.

-Who ever said automatic GT's are slow, they arent too bad. Stock LS1 cars run 9.20's-9.40's through the 1/8, my 99GT auto runs consistent 9.30's. Not as awful as you think.

-The modded 04 cobra having trouble keeping up with diesel trucks? Hmmmmm....NO! Unless he has been racing the 5 or 6 trucks in the nation that will actually haul *** due to many upgrades. Your basic chipped desiel is going down like a $2 hooker on pay day.

-350's are good engines, they would have to be to have been around for decades.

-All 4.6 engines are modular meaning they have overhead camshafts. All GT's and any Ford-Linc-Merc passenger cars and trucks have single overhead cams. All Cobras, Machs, 99-04 Navigators, Continentals and Marks have dual overhead cams with 4 valves per cylinder.

-I dont like GM's, but the LS1-6 engines are fast and great engines. They have to be, after all they copied a ford on them. If you take a cylinder head off of an LS1 engine, its almost hard to differ them from an aluminum SB windsor series cylinder head. This is exactly why they are fast, but still, the downfall was they copied Fords old technology when they should have copied the new technology I.E. Modular engines.

-The guy who stated Horsepower doesnt win races, torque does. You are absolutely correct, those who dont know should take note.

-To the other statement that cubic inches arent always faster. Yes they are. Given two engines with identical counterparts and identical situations and weather, the engine with the most cubes will win. The reason that Mach outruns the GTO isnt due to cubes, its due to technology which GM is dumbfounded by, evidently.

-Who ever said automatic GT's are slow, they arent too bad. Stock LS1 cars run 9.20's-9.40's through the 1/8, my 99GT auto runs consistent 9.30's. Not as awful as you think.

-The modded 04 cobra having trouble keeping up with diesel trucks? Hmmmmm....NO! Unless he has been racing the 5 or 6 trucks in the nation that will actually haul *** due to many upgrades. Your basic chipped desiel is going down like a $2 hooker on pay day.

-350's are good engines, they would have to be to have been around for decades.


what stock LS1 cars run 9's???? just curious.

my friend has a truck that everyone says is the best truck ever, 100hp chip, and lots of other stuff, man an 04 cobra runs 13's, i've only seen 1 desil my entire life that ran 13's or 14's and that was built for drag racing and drag racing only, cuz there is a desil challenge at my strip, and he bought it and did everything he could and it ain't street legal and that runs high 13's or low 14's i can't remember

I have chipped and dynoed more F-350's and Excursions than I have changed socks in the last 3 years. I know they make good power, they are just too heavy to turn any fast numbers on the strip. I have also taken many to the strip for testing. In a nutshell, your buddies cobra would have to be stock as a rock, basically ran down and have a NDFS behind the wheel for a chipped and overboosted truck to outrun it. Theres a lot of weight in these trucks to be considered.


As far as which LS1 car runs nines.....Im speaking of 99-up Z-28's that are bone stock with street tires. This is what they run from factory before any mods whatsoever are done to them. Im also speaking 1/8 mile times. There are ocasional freaks that will clip a high 8.80 or 8.90 from time to time, pretty rare in any instance if its completely bone stock.

My 98 Z28 ran 9's stock, with nittos and a 100 shot I pulled a 8.2. LS1's own!, the only mustang worth a dayum is the new cobra. Hell, I see new gt's getting beat by 10 year old lt1's at the track.

Yea, for $60k +. Give me another 30 grand to spend on my Mach, and that Vette won't even know what passed it.

i have dumped about 3 grand into my 11 year old lt-1 camaro and at 12 flat in the quarter it will beat your Mach 1. With slicks it will probably pull high 11's. As far as the debate started I say wait a year or 2 and get the new camaro. The only reason that GM still uses the 350 is because it is a badass proven motor

What does GM still uses the basic 350 engine? I thought they only put LS series engines in them after 99', which is a redesigned 346 inch engine with Ford wannabe cylinder heads.

I know it was announced to the public first, although the camaro is a concept.

You can say that with any vehicle. Take the price of your mustang and dump that money into a $2000 vehicle. Which is faster?:o

All I ever saw was a few months ago when Bob Lutz from Chevrolet mentioned to someone from HOTROD magazine that a re-invented Camaro may be a natural progression from the GTO being brought over to the States.
