This guy at school was talkin smack about how his '07 SI can beat the hell out of my Mustang.... well what do you guys think would happen? From a dig what should happen assuming equal drivers?I've hadthe carabout 3 months and been driving a stick for years. He just picked his up (still paper plates) but has been driving stick as long as me.
Mine: '08 V6 5 speed
his: '07 SI 6 speed
oh and there will be results I swear! the race is set for next monday..
dudeits a driver race with the edge totheSI,he has less hp but a lot lighter. If you do race him make sure you do it off the line cuz u have the torque monster

I think I'm gonna go with driver's race also. Both are good for a high 14 or low 15with good drivers. Going by albeedigital.com, the Civic will do the quarter in 14.9 and the 05 V6 Stang will do a 15.3. But, I don't like to go by magazines and online sources like that. They never seem to be spot on anyways.

Just watchout for when his v-tec kicks in, he mightget you haha.
Now on a serious note.
You should be able to edge him out from a dig if you get the jump off the line. You could also invest in some small mods to help your cause. I don't know how the 4.0 is set up in the new Mustangs so I can't help you in that department.
I witnessed a SI muster a 14.92 at the track bone stock, I talked to the guy and he said he just got it and he wanted to see exactly what he could get out of it-pretty cool
IT was very hot and humid, but he was icing the intake manifold so i guess it cancels out.
EDIT: Not shure what that means in reguards to your race, I don't really have experiance with the new v6's but i'mguessing it will be a drivers race and u wanna go from a dig. practice your launch, it is everything.
Drivers race. Advantage to you from a dig, to him from a roll. He's an idiot if he says his car will "beat the hell" out of your, the race will probably be very close within 1 car length.
Get an intake, tune, and GT takeoff muffler and you'll be running around a mid 14.
from personal experience my friend in a built b16a2 si engine raced a gt on intake headers and exhause and beat him then again hes built he also raced a v6 stang automatic beat him off the digg in the end of the day its power to weight ratio so civic might have you but v6 stick might be able to take him itll be close
nd i have to agree that this is just a little honda fwd poser because a stock si will not whore a v6 stang i agree with others one car tops and not pulling
I'd say I've got my launch down pat. Looks like it will be a good race from the sounds of it. I've raced the hatch SI before beat it by a car at the most
'07 SI vs '08 4.0... RESULTS!!
