Your 300zx HAD to have been turboed, and then it would HAD to have aftermarket turbo's. I killed TT 300zx's in my stock GT. Especially on the freeway where I got more room

LOL! you guys must be racing some crappy 300's. ive had two non-turbo 1990+ 300's, and one twin turbo. the non turbo 2seater i had ran 14.9@93 with nothing but exhaust and air intake, and the 2+2 model i had ran 15.1@94, but both of those were 5 speeds. the twin turbo would eat any stock mustang for breakfast running 13.6@106 bone stock. the only thing holding those cars back is a good driver, and a properly maintenenced engine.
maybe you guys are thinking about the older 80's model 300s??? either way i think a 94gt auto vs. a 90+300zx non turbo would be a pretty close race, but i'll say the gt should win, but not by much.

my buddy had two non turbos, one auto, and one 5-speed. both simi quick, and he was a good driver with a properly maint. eng. however, his auto 90' would have been beaten by a stock 94' gt

true, but its not gonna be as bad a loss stock vs. stock, as some of you are making it out to be. keep in mind the 94-95 5.0 is the slowest of the pack as far as the 5liter motor is concerened. with a good driver they usually can do high to mid 14's, with a lower trap speed than the z. the listed hp is 215, compared to the z's 222. i'll say it again, it should be a close race, but the stangs torque will win it off the line. the z will probably start pulling slightly on the upper end though, just not enough to make a difference in the 1/4.

u got that right, the '94 and '95 breed of mustangs w/ the horizonal tail lights r the mark of the beast. although the new body style from the fox mustang did look good, they were very sick in the performance department. if u do the same stuff to a '93 that u do to a '94 5.0, the '93 will b much quicker.
