hey guys, was wondering what kind of money needs to be put into our stang to compete with the nissan gtr when it comes out? i know we will probably never compete in a racetrack or a slalom, but in a straight drag, what do we need to do and how much would it cost?

In the new Road and Track mag the GT-R beat both the zo6 and 911 turbo.  I think it will cost a lot to compete.  Plus it has AWD which helps it launch like a monster.  I think it has a 3.4 sec 0-60.

well.. since we already beat it in the looks department...   (I know a lot of people like the gtr looks).. you'd probably be looking at a modaddict setup and blow it away..  at the track what times were they saying? high tens?  so.. atleast building the motor+F/I and suspension.. and more.. but im sure you could beat it in the 1/4 with less than 1/2 as much money as it would cost to own one.. but it does seem like a great car to have..

I would have to agree ... You're  going to have to spend quite a bit of money, look at setups like Modaddict or Saywer

In terms of strictly straight line, it'd be relatively easy. Expensive, but easy. The norm like suspension mods, gears, and a Whipple or Kenne Bell, along w/ DR's will do the trick. But like you already said, when it comes to the handling department, it's in a whole nother realm....

Lots of suspension mods, better than OEM tires, weight reduction, and a good single or twin turbo setup would probably compete....maybe not win, but compete.

I mean...in reality it's more than 2x the price of a loaded GT.

buy a corvette zr1.  It will be less of a hassle and probably not cost too much more.

0-60 in 3.2-3.8 sec
475 rwhp/ 457 tq

sawyer or modaddict would definately murder this car in the 1/4 mile.
road course would be a totally different animal.

+1 Those ZR1s will not be cheap and will not go for MSRP.

As soon as those suckers come out...All they have to do is up the boost.. The GTR can handle more boost than stock... plus some DRs on all four wheels... That will will be in the high tens... No doubt about it...And it comes in auto.. so the launches will be crazy....

Base price is 69K, Premium model is 72K. Getting one at MSRP is proving kinda difficult, but there are some doing it, or at least retty close to it....

DR's wont really help it a whole lot. W/ it's weight and such, it doesn't have much traction to gain. Upping the boost is gonna make it a beast, though. The Japanese tuners are already making parts from it, and it's gaining upwards of 35hp w/ just exhaust....

it really wouldnt be that hard to beat in the 1/4. All you need is a low 11 or 10sec car. The hard part is making the money for that. But why are you worried about the GTR?
