v6 mustang VS v6 contour?

Just the fact that this has been asked 4000 times in the last year makes me feel even dumber for reading this thread.
And no, that's not what this forum is about. It's about posting real world data after it's already been done. So, you take your Contour to the track along with your friend and his Mustang. You race, and you come back to tell us how bad you won or lost.

Mark

This forum is NOT about stupid questions that you can find answers to on Google. Learn to read, spell, and make complete sentences. Then use this new-found grammatical power to read the forums and ask good questions about things that matter. Until then, don't post more useless crap like you've been doing. Your post history is nothing but pointless questions that take up board space and our time. Get some common sense or get the hell out.

Common sense is so uncommon!

No, as opposed to a V duratech. He must mean the 4 cyl.

Seriously though: what the hell do you have to keep up with an '05?

K&N RU-3530. I was able to keep up (and seemed I was pulled a little bit near the end) with my roomates 05 v6 atx.

His duratec likes other boy duratecs.

if it even matter if i remember correctly the mustang only had 190 HP till `05 and the SVT or at least the 00 had 200 also the mustang has a bit more weight than my SVT (i have a stock one, and yes its pathetic. leave me alone i'm 19 and paying off a house) so with that said you do the math. in all honesty it depends on the driver and someone that gives a [censored]

bench racing is all that really matters.

And the Mustang has 220 lb-ft of tq to the SVTs 165-170. It's also RWD. The question was stupid to begin with, and if anyone really cares, you can look up the tested times for a particular model pretty easily. Talking specs is pointless, because you can't possibly guess what it will run with that much accuracy.

I propose a ban on X vs. Y threads. It's just rediculous and it makes looking for real info in this forum a royal pain. I don't think there's any reason to have them, but if they MUST exist, I'd like to see them in CI.

Stupid questions deserve stupi answers.

Are you on crack?!

They certainly do NOT belong in CI... There is FAR too much clutter there as it is.

they should either be "allowed" or "not", in D&D.

My choice, personally, would be to not allow them.

Could you please talk it up with the mods? Maybe not even specifically these X vs. Y threads: there are other topics that are pointless and recurrent as well. There is way too much garbage on this forum right now, and I have no problems with a huge, ugly CI section: people aren't going to stop being silly. But I'd like to see everything but CI get cleaned up. It's impossible to find information because it's mixed in with so much junk. If you look at threads in the archives, it's much nicer: ask a question, get an answer. We can't magically jump back there without a very strict crackdown that would alienate a lot of people and leave us tiny, but I'd like to see improvement before this site goes to hell: this seems like as good a place as any to take a stand and say I'm sick of this.

Your request, as well as this thread, have been forwarded to the rest of the mods for action. We'll see where it goes from here.

According to road & track the '05 V6 auto convertible mustang (the slowest they now make) runs a 15.1. Stock SVT will run a 15.2 according to C&D. So, according to these specific numbers, assuming equal conditions, driver skill, blah blah, no. I'm not saying it's never happened or will happen.
My Mystique and my friend's Grand Am both have 170hp and weigh about 3000 pounds, but he's got 200 lb-ft of torque. It makes a huge difference. So there's your answer. It took me like 10 seconds to search for that info.

Here's the link assclown

2005 Ford Mustang LX 4.0l 6.9 15.3 (C&D Feb 05)
2005 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L V8 5.1 13.5 (MT Jan 05)
2005 Ford Mustang GT Convertible 5.2 13.8 (MT Apr 05)

Taken from here: Where'd you get your information from again?!

i test drove the v6 auto (for wife

) convertible and it seriously did not impress me. my wife's 325 auto feels way faster than that mini-muscle car did. dont get me wrong, i did like it, a lot, but not in auto form

it definitely needs an autostick option! even chrysler is offering them on the 300/chargers. or at least a "sports" mode.

I've been looking at a CSVT and I'm a 3.8L freak and I have alot of experiance with V6 stangs. In the real world here is what they typically run BONE STOCK.

94-98's
5speed = 16.2-16.5 @ 84mph
Auto = 17.0-16.7 @ 81mph

99-04
5speed = 15.5-14.9 @ 90mph(yes, I've personally seen TWO crack 14's stock in good air and a good driver)
Auto = 16.2-15.7 @ 87mph

Once you start censorship of this form then you reduce the number of new bodies who come online, thereby reducing the amount of new people that might actually stick around and learn something. In effect you cut off new blood and make the site stale.

Everyone was young or inexperienced at one point. It gives you something to do to educate them or to at least read their posts or ignore them. Hell, if you cut out all the newbie threads then half the traffic will be gone. Besides. Some of the veteran posters on here with thousands of posts are just as bad...and some plain dumb.

Those are pretty much spot on with my experience too.
I used to race a friend with a 00 V6 stang many times an it was dead even with my contour svt when it was stock until we broke 75mph or so. Then the contour pulls away due in part to better aerodynamics I think.

First off let me say sorry for asking such a dumb question. To be honest all I wanted was a yes or no. I really donâ�?��?�t want to hate on you guys but come on if we ask a dumb question or what you think is dumb then answer it or leave it alone. I swear some of you guys sit and wait for a â�?��? new CEGâ�?��?�erâ�?� to post something so you can say â�?��? OMG SEARCHâ�?� or â�?��? what an idiotâ�?� the whole point of this site is for people to learn from each other. Telling people there question is dumb doesnâ�?��?�t help things either way. And to those of you reading this and saying â�?��?dumb questions get dumb answersâ�?� go ahead and knock your self out but it aint helping

Answer it or click back

I know i beat one, and that is all i can say.

This was intended to be done via the faq's how-tos, and stickies, not "ask any question you want and get it answered because saying 'search' doesn't help!!"

I do agree with you, there.

I think thats the problem most people have. Its not a yes or no answer. If it were, then you could just look up the stats on Car and Driver's website and see which one is faster in the 1/4 mile. But were not bench racing, were talking about real life drag racing. Only way to answer your question is to go out and really race.

Do you not know how to read the stickie at the top of the thread?

Street Racing Stories=bannination candidacy.

like they said street racing stories aren't allowed....also we don't really care for liars here either....

only in a dream or your wild imagination did you beat any of the mentioned vehicles......you need to pass around some of what you are smoking to the rest of us....

Uh oh run and tell a mod.

No need.. we've been watching..

CAN win, if the Mustang driver sucks. Any of the quicker Mustangs will get around significantly faster than a Contour. And I assume you mean Solo II, because Solo I is a whole 'nother story.

But you're pretty high on the assclown list anyway, so

hahahha i sware i now understand why you hardcore guys get soo mad when we ask dubm questions

Just to put an end to this post. I will have a video of a nearly stock SVT vs a 2005 v6 auto stang, in a few weeks when I put my summer tires on for a day.

I'll post up when i have it and email the links to people since it won't follow CEG rules.

I can count two rules broken in one post alone. But hey I'm not a moderator.

Why are you two getting personal?!

My friend beat a V6 mustang with his 97 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS (had a cold air intake and exhaust), and I beat his eclipse with my stock 98 svt contour...

I also kept up with a V8 mustang GT, but he walked away in 3rd gear

You can't just look up the Horsepower and Torque and tell people whos faster... to me the V6 Mustang is extremely slow.

(both of those mustangs were year 2000+, dont know the exact year) but I doubt any stock mustang V6 can go against a V6 contour, especially not csvt.
