LMFAO.
"But the mustang doesn't have the right setup."
Read through the thread before you start bashing B, but I know that I'm uneducated and you know oh so much so you have to ignore me with your l337ness!
I said that if the mustang were setup for the track then it would outperform the FWD honda, its common sense.
When I say mod the cars equally, I mean if you put a turbo kit on one car then you put a turbo kit on the next car, when you put a sway bar on one car you put a sway bar on the other car. Of course the car parts aren't interchangeable but the cars can be modded with equivalent parts and thats my point. The RWD platform is always going to come out ahead until say you put endlinks, adjustable coilovers, lightweight rims, aftermarket calipers/rotors on the Honda; of course in this scenario the Honda will come out ahead. Now put all those aftermarket parts on the Mustang as well and see who comes out ahead, there's no replacement for displacement and cars can't defy laws of physics, RWD > FWD.
B16, my point stands look at the video at 3:30 watch the damn car pull away in the straightaway. End of story, the video tells it all. I'm not talking about your final times or lap times, I'm talking about when you claimed that the mustang didn't out accelerate your car. Wrong, the mustang didn't hang with your car in the corners and that is either chalked up to driver error (considering you took two completely different lines) or how the car was equipt in comparison to your own, end of story.
You guys can argue numbers and science all you want.
We're talking about a stock Honda here versus a Mustang?
Stock Honda - not fast, doesn't have excelent handling, doesn't have excellent brakes, its an economy oriented car not a sports oriented car.
Stock Mustang - fast, doesn't have excelent handling depending on the model, has decent brakes, is a more sports oriented car.
I hate to break it to you guys but your civics and civic del sols aren't listed as sports cars for a reason.
Funny, curb weight of the car is listed at almost 2400lbs. I guess your fat ass weighs around 100lbs, along with any other modifications you've added to the car.
You're comparing a stock car to a modded car. If you mod a mustang, of course its curbweight is going to go down just like yours did.

I drove both of these cars, there's absolutely no comparison in terms of performance they're in two entirely different classes.
yes they are in different classes
one is fast, small, lightweight, well ballanced, has excelent handling, and brakes that are damn near offensive
the other one sounds like it should be fast, and handles like a toaster

My del sol weighs 2500 lbs with my fat ass sitting in it. Funny how every mustang driver myself or E come across at these track events are no good? rollseyes.
Where I passed the guy was at the end of a huge straight, in a braking zone.
