Which car is faster? 1/4th and top end... Which car is better overall performance wise and feature wise?

depends what your looking for. the mustang has 260 hp, and the srt is rated at 220 i think, but will actually dyno 220 at the wheels. it will be easier to make the srt faster since its already turbo tho...

im actually thinking the 04 gt will be faster, my friend has a supercharged integra and got beat by about 1 car length to an 03 srt-4, the srt-4 that he raced had a bigger turbo mounted on a chip and exhaust, when i raced my friends integra i won by about 1/2 a car. so im guaging that if both were stock, the gt would beat the srt-4 but not by much.

The GT would be faster - slightly, but it is a faster car stock for stock, but the Neon would be easier to make faster - at least initially

I hate to break the news to ya. Your friend is lying or the SRT-4 driver is hopeless. Your 96GT has nothing for a Turbo Neon...

Hell, 99+ GT's have all they can do to handle one...

I raced an SRT-4 from a 65 roll and put 2 1/2 cars on him to about 120. They are def. quicker than you would think. The guy was a jerk about it. He tryed to pick on me, and then after he lost, flicked me off while doing a ricer flyby.

99+ GT's are actually quicker than most people think. A 5 speed one in the hands of a capable driver can hit 13's pretty easy. A neon can hit high 13's if there a factory freak...most run low 14's. No one in there right mind would race a turbo charged car from a roll. Torque wins the quarter my friend....Mustangs have tons more torque...so race one from a stop. Both cars are pretty much even but the GT will smoke an SRT-4 from a stop and it will become a good race from a roll....Go to the SRT-4 Forum and check out the videos....A couple of GT owners have put about 2 cars on them in stock form.

Last I checked racing in a straight line takes more into consideration than just Power to weight ratio.

You cannot look at a car and say it has this much power.

Let us use an example here.

Acura NSX 290HP right?

Well sort of, it doesn't get its maximum horsepower until an eye popping 7100RPM.

Torque? What torque? It gets maximum torque at 5,500 RPM all 224lbs of it.

Also you have to take into account the fact that the GT is rear wheel drive, where as the Neon is front wheel drive.

Ultimately though Mustang GTs and SRT-4s are about the same speed. It really is a drivers race.

As was said earlier in this post the SRT-4 is the best bang for the buck. Then you also have to realize its ugly, and most people don't know its fast so part of the prestige of it being a fast car is gone.

There is this whole myth that it is actually cool to have a sleeper when in fact, you just look like a punk teenage kid with a cheap car and a big muffler.

I hate to say it, as a 99+ owner, but the 04 (not the 03) is faster stock. Alot of 03s ran like 14.2s stock. Alot of the 04s run like 13.8-9 stock. I have even seen claims (although no proof) that a stock 04 can run a 13.7.

They did some changes in 04. of course most of the information is coming from the SRT4 forums. However they have vids of stock cars doing 13.8s etc. I would say though that it is compeltely a drivers race. SRTs are alot harder to launch correctly than a GT.

SRTs are compeletly respectable cars. And i have seen 500 HP dyno vids. There is alot of potiential there, although I would not believe em if they said it was still capable of being daily driven. And no matter what you say about the outdated fox platform, the GT is still one hell of alot nicer of a car. In the end you are still driving a NEON (re: rental car), you just paid 20k for it to make it fast.

I hope the 05' Mustang GT can hand SRT-4s its ass.

300HP I definitely want to pick up one of those suckers.

Yeah but an 04' Mustang GT is a much nicer car than an SRT-4.

While many say the fox platform is dated I'd say its perfected. They've taken it as far as it can go and now they are moving on.

Yeah I have absolutly no complaints about the Fox platform. This is the most refined car I have ever owned at least. (from a performance point of view).

I don't know where you got your numbers from....BUT They are wrong. SRT-4 produces 215 horsepower at the fly wheel and it's not underrated. 99+ GT's produces 260 horsepower and that should make up for the weight disadvantage it has. Torque my friend is what wins the quarter and the GT has about 70lbs/ft more. Torque is what puts you in the seat and horsepower keeps you there. Hell you owned a cobra and you don't know this already

To all you mustang owners out there, the SRT will definatly beat your ass in a race. Stock they come with 230 hp and 250 tq, How does that make you feel? I raced my cousin who has a 99 GT with flowmasters and a cobra chip, and yes i pulled on him. It was close but I still won. And to that guy who says the GT is nicer, what are you thinking? There is nothing inside of your GT. There are 3 knobs that control air and thats the nicest feature. Atleast my car has viper seats and a boost gauge. Hows that make you feel? In summary I am dissapointed by your V8's.

Your a dumbass.......You need to meet up with my GT.....I've beaten every stock SRT-4 I've raced...Yes it's been close....but torque my friends wins a race....and 250lbs/ft isn't enough. I really don't have time to argue......Put up or shut up. SRT-4's are low 14's and GT's are high 13's......on average.

Okay, your beating SRT4s when they are stock? Im guessing you are modified cause there is no way stock you will beat one. And if you want to meet me you'll just embarass yourself cause I am not stock. You also have it confused, SRT's can run 13.8 stock, Id like to see a stock GT run that.
