^i wouldn't be at all surprised if an STi could beat that 'vette, especially in the 1/8th. with the right driver behind the wheel, i know it would beat the 'vette in an auto-x.

maybe in the auto-x yes, but in a drag race, nope.

i know plenty of STIs that will beat a 475whp vette, your point? ever notice everything you say relates to someone else? my friends cousin, this guy in wake forest, etc.

Thats terrible numbers for a ls1, i wouldnt tell to many ppl abou that.

i know STis that will as well, but are they mostly stock, with a fart muffler, and maybe a new BOV, nope.

As for my story, its an analogy of how cocky and stupid you are.

stock sti is faster than your car

4/16/2006 3:15:15 PM

no shit, im well aware of that

It doesnt matter what your best friends uncles aunts, sisters baby siters boyfriends brother has, all that matters is what you got. Get to the point tell him he is a douchebag and dont compare other cars to his. Unless you got someting to spank the 332 wiht shut the fuck up.

Great thread!

hey ben,

i love stangs just as much as you do man, but for the love of god, shut up unless you know what your talking about. which you have already admitted you dont,

"and i dont know what parts they are, because i dont know shit about suspensions"

if you dont know shit about suspensions they how do you know so much about mustang handling or any car handling for that matter. please do the mustang community a favor and go learn your shit before you start making false claims.

And also, dont ever try to degrade someone else's car by comparing it to a friend's/relative's car. it just makes you look even more stupid.

1.I did not say I did not know about cars, I dont know about suspensions very well, as in I dont know what parts in the suspension do what mostly, and what makes x part better than y part in the suspension, thats it. Suspension is not the main thing I am focusing on right now because Im on an extremely limited budget as far as my car goes, but when the time comes I will educate myself on it.

2. There is nothing wrong with getting info from another source. For example the guy I know that works at the BMW dealership working on the cars, I do believe is a reliable source. A video I saw of an autocross where the 347 cobra beats the BMWs and vettes obviously did happen, thats reliable. I wasnt trying to say the mustang can outhandle the M3 on a stock setup, or with some shocks, but if you put a lot of work and prep the suspension right, a mustang can outhandle an M3, despite previous claims from THE GARAGE, thats what was pissing me off and I was trying to correct, the people that said by no means could a mustang outhandle an M3, when obviously they can with the right equipment.

3. I was not trying to degrade scottyc's car, just him. I will admit he has a nice car that is well done. The story of the friends cousin's car was an analogy, an analogy of how the STi kids though they were the best shit around and couldnt be convinced otherwise, no matter what anyone else had to prove it to them. My analogy was that Scottyc was like the STi kids in that he thinks he is always right, and Im always wrong, no matter what evidence suggests the contrary.

that is all.

this is true for any car that would be in the realm of and pertinent to a discussion like this - you just sound worse everytime you add something

you can make a mustang handle, but if you put the same time and effort into a bmw, you can make it handle just as good. your probably a cool guy and all but you have come across in this thread like you think your car (mustangs) is greater than all other cars. you might not mean it that way but thats they way it sounds. Like its been said before, you can make a mustang handle great with the right the parts and money, but that can also be said for any other car out there.

also, videos of cars beating each other on the track without knowing all the specs of each car is not reliable.

also, Ben

if you want your car to handle really well i have an IRS out of a 99 cobra that i would like to swap with you for the solid axle in your car. I can do all the work. the IRS is in my 95 cobra right know and im trying to return it to stock. let me know if your interested.
