Very true because it is smaller and weighs less.. But I believe I did see weirdly the mustang had a smaller turning radius! I saw that I BELIEVE on edmunds. Don't hold me to it though... I also believe I will NOT reach 3k post by feburary 28th! I know I won't

It's not because it's smaller and weighs less, it's because the engine doesn't have as broad a powerband as the Mustang. It takes a little more skill to extract maximum acceleration from an engine with a narrow powerband.

He joined a year ago. 2005 of January...

My last Gixxer would smoke either of the three and then some

RSX-type S would waste a V6 mustang. Are you guys serious? V6 tangs are turds. I'd LOVE for a V6 or even a GT tang pull up next to me at a light...

rsx over stang.rsx revs to 9k and weighs less,when the rsx shifts to 2nd the mustang will be in third gear.

f150 with a tuner would beat a stang also,alot due to the improved shift points.

less weight = less torque needed to get off the line,torque dosnt do much for a car up high.not like trucks that need torque for pulling.

Just my way of lightening the thread up My co-worker had a RSX (just traded up to a Porsche 911 RS America). His RSX was peppy, but since I have never been in a V6 Stang newer then 95, I am not sure. The 3.8 (correct me if I am wrong in size) was very lacking of power back then.

if I was driving a type s rsx I would beat someone driving a 5 speed v6 mustang.

I beat a 5 speed v6 mustang in my ml 500 rather easily, so a modified f150 would probably be capable of beating one.

I CONSTANTLY argue with people about
early 90s 5.0l vs. new Mustang GT.

What would win between the early 90s 5.0 and the new 4.6?

Stock for stock.. The 4.6..

Add about 2-3k into the 5.0 and you can run 10's. For a while atleast, depends on when the tranny or rear end decides to give up. Spend another 2k and get those beefed up and you can run 10's with 450rwhp all day long.

Unless he has done EVERYTHING BUT put a blower on it I find it hard to believe it would launch like that.

Wrong, ls1's were graced by the hands of god. They can do that.

I have personally seen a Cam only car run a high 10...

That is stock short block, heads, intake, etc. Just exhaust, tune, some suspension work, and cam.
