So my buddy buys an 05 mustang v6, 5sp ,this weekend. It weighs 3400 lbs and has 210 HP and 240 foot lbs of torque. It goes from 0-60 in 7 secs. (fly by wire)and tops out at 113. (speed limiter) and has traction control. Now, I think I can take him. what do ya think??? (we are both cops so we should be able to race with no problem.)
Mines a 5 sp as well.

i think he'll take you. no offense.

A friend of mine...

...

raced a 5 speed mustang v6 with a stock auto tC. Lost by a carlength and a half, but had 2 passengers along.

Man I want a cop buddy to race with

I didnt exactly race a mustang but this crazy chick cutt me off while i was driving to school and got me mad. I started driving fast behind her, tailgated her, ____ed her off, and i managed to stay on her ___ the whole time. She was probaby driving an automatic and i had one passenger.

If you do race, try to do so from a roll.

Hmmm... well I 'm gonna give it a try next time I'm back in NY. I think I'm better behind the wheel too. I figure he may have an advantge with more torque but I've had mine up too the limit @ 127 and if he can only go to 113 I should have him...ya think???

Man I want a cop buddy to race with

haha serious. that'd be so awesome in a way. that'd be one cool cop..........hopefully :P

i know my old cavy with 140 hp and auto can take a auto v6 mustang...its a drivers race

Uh. I have a Sherriff I paintball with. Dunno if he'd be down with street racing, though :lol:

Umm.. the Mustang will smoke you obviously.

and don't do a rolling start. that's homo.

i know my old cavy with 140 hp and auto can take a auto v6 mustang...its a drivers race

Not one of the new ones... not even close with the cavy, especially auto. No offense, but I know plenty of people with modified cavys out there, and I know for a fact how fast they are.

I also happen to have a friend with the new v6. If you are a better driver you may win, but it will still be close. Drivers being equal the mustang will get you. It is still amazing how close it is between the two cars though.

If you do it, do it on a track.

hmm, interesting timing....this morning on the way to work, I had the opporunity to "deal" with a new Mustang. Now my tC is stock, and I am no racer, but I have to say, as hard as the driver of this Mustang tried to beat me in the traffic, I won my a long shot, as my skill is manuevering and anticipating the best place to be.

If we had been in a clear straightaway, I have no doubt that Mustang would have kicked my a**. edit...Especially since I don't race, ever. :silly:

Umm.. the Mustang will smoke you obviously.

Yes, and if I was a cop, I wouldn't put the fact that I race on a website. If it ever got traced back to you, you could be in some deep do do. :lalala:

fake cop

^^ Rent a Cop ^^

that what you mean???

i know my old cavy with 140 hp and auto can take a auto v6 mustang...its a drivers race

lmao a drivers race with automatics? ive never heard that one before.

Uh, yeah... as far as being a "fake cop"...give me your plate # and tell me when and where you are going to be in VA. (Clarke Co.) and I'll look you up, OK??

Also as far as me putting that I race on the net...I never said it was on a public street. I do have access to the department track just as I do for the gun range.
And its no secret that I speed...I get pulled over at least twice a month. But then I have "Master Badge". I havent had a ticket since 1976...when I got out of my first academy. (Seems to me there might be some jealousy in that regard) Oh well...gotta love professional courtesy.

Yah know. I am gonna have to put the mustang up on this one. he's 500 lbs heavier true but who knows.

When I drove his car I noticed that there was some hesitation with the drive by wire arrangement. Also, even with all the electronic controls it fish tales badly if the road is even a little wet. I forgot to mention that the V6 comes with crappy tires too (imo)

to you tell you the truth it would be a drivers race. it's not alway the car that wins the race. my friend beat a mustang gt in a honda civic si (stock civic) i find that really hard to believe.

also about you not getting a ticket i know how that is. me and my cuz were driving from from somewhere and we both got pulled over by a cop going 80 in a 65. i was sure he was going to write us botha ticket until my cuz pulled out his badge. and the cop wrote me a warning and didn't do anything to my cuz. i'm sure glad i was following him that day

Yeah I owned anCRX SI back in 86...loved that car. It was really fast. I blew the doors off a camaro cant remember what he had. I agree it would be a drivers race.
Some say it's not fair that I can get out of tickets. I say, HEY, I let people go all the time. And if I want t let a cop go, so be it. The job can really suck sometimes. It's nice to have a few perks.

I always wanted to race a cruiser.

"To protect and Serve"...isn't that how it goes? Speeding is not the best way to go about doing that. Also...being stopped for speeding twice a month? I'm not a cop, and have had no traing to be one and I have made it over 7 years without a speeding ticket,or any ticket for that matter,speeding all the way :pray: :P

i know my old cavy with 140 hp and auto can take a auto v6 mustang...its a drivers race

lmao a drivers race with automatics? ive never heard that one before.

The only way it could be a drivers rave with auto's. would be it they were autoXing. In a straight line race with auto's all you got to do is steer, and try to react quicker to the light than your opponent.

Uh...yeah.... right, "protect and serve" (ya gotta stop watching TV) More like, "To get through my shift and go home with the same # of body parts I started with, or to NOT reach room temperature."

And as far as being stopped, I put A LOT of miles on my car. Got it Apr 12th and have over 5500 on it already. I cruise on the highway at 85-90mph. Why? Same reason a dog licks his hoo-ha...because he can!

right on, street racing toyotas and V6 mustangs.......what has the world come to, even the pigs are in on the action.....my moneys on the V6 mustang schooling you

Yeah, I got your pig hanging.

Maybe he owns a Cougar...no wait a minute I said "he"...thats a chicks car right? Sorry man...now what kind of "merc" do you own???

my street car runs 11's, how about yours???

Just curious,

I don't mean to offend any of the P.O.'s on this site but is this guy for real? An actual cop bragging about speeding habitually and proudly escaping the penalty. If your off duty it would seem ludicrous to put others at risk by disregarding the posted speed limit. I guess when you crash and kill someone you plan on flashing a badge for a get out of jail escape.

Either stop BSing or shut your pile whole, you know a freakin mustang would crush you.................

N Y C X B OX :loser: :no: :blah:

my street car runs 11's, how about yours???

I'm more concerned with speed AND handling.. so a small 4 banger is a better choice. I dont prefer taking tanks around hard corners. Not bashing your ride, but trying to get you to see that there are different reasons people choose different cars. And plus, I know people with blown 8 second cars out there... but they dont bash you for racing your relatively slow street car do they? It is all about what you are racing and what you are doing. I know someone with a Chevy pickup that runs in the high 12s, but put him on a curvy road with my tC and I will waste him. They have classes in racing as well. Street stocks dont run against funny cars do they? Well, we arent necessarilly trying to outrun 11 sec cars in our 4 bangers (although I have seen a good number of 4 bangers that will make your 11 sec merc cry).

the tC is a great car to start with to build. It has a strong motor, you dont start with a ton dumped into it. And it is a cool car all around. so it is good for both the daily driver/performance people as well as something more. If you have worked on many vehicles you will know that the displacement means a lot less than people think, and that gap is closing quickly.

A 2005 V6 mustang will beat us stock... crush us? Not hardly. And with a few mods will not even be an issue. The 2005 V6 is not that impressive. Now the GT.. fast car, although not as fast as it should be. Mustangs have never been too impressive stock IMO for what they were supposed to be. I have an 89 sitting at my fathers that I will turn into a track car (they were really too big of a pile of ____ to do anything else with). The Chevy engine is a much better choice for higher RPM applications. Anyway, I shouldnt get off topic.

The cops should be better examples, but at the same time they are still people. The way I look at it, if a cop busts me for running 80 in a 65 on a open highway, his ___ better be running 65 on it when he drives down it. :P

Nobody, and I repeat NOBODY is above the law. Don't play me. I will slay you. :no: :blah:

As far as our little traps beating a mustang. Go for it. I could care less. I drive a box. But for real, I would just assume that if anyone is rocking a stang then it should be a GT. Why else would you buy a Stang'? Unless of course someone is trying to compensate for minature cohones? Just a thought.

THE MAN

AKA

N Y C X B O X

Why race? I have a better idea for the two of you. A test to see who's more macho.

That is, a 113. (speed limiter) version of chicken. All your cop friends could take bets on which one bails.

Uh, yeah...Exactly how am I putting "others at risk" by exceeding the speed limit??
When the Interstate system was created (before you were born) it was designed for cars doing 75 mph (BTW that was the speed limit)
With computer aided design and the advancement in engineering, todays roads are even more safe. Not to mention that cars have made a quantum leap in safety.
So why do we have 55 mph speed limits and why are cops forced to write tickects? Well it was the NIXON administration who felt it would save gas during the 73 oil embargo. (Why 55? Just an abbitrary number) Second, it is a REVENUE GENERATING DEVICE.
People have been driving on the Autobahn in Germany at speeds in excess of 100 mph and they dont have any higher of an accident rate then we do. Oh and BTW, I have been driving for 35 years (again, since before you were born) and I have never killed anyone. Also I have been through several high speed driving cousrses and I am certified to operate a vehicle at speeds exceeding 100 mph and preform evasive and interdictive manuvers with a vehicle.
Lastly, lets not get into the relm of rediculous where you browbeat me for speeding because I'm a cop and purport to expouse that you of course would never exceed the speed limit or break any other law. (that is what you're saying right?)
Fact of the matter is cops are people too, and some times we speed. Hey, I've even been know to litter too. (GASP) I am just not two faced about it. And yes I have to give people speeding tickets. It's my job. And yes I have a quota. Truth be known most cops have to be forced to write tickets.
So lets get off your high horse and and back down to reality.
Just because I can get out of it is no reason to be jealous. And that is what this little tyraid is all about.
BECAUSE NO ONE BELIEVES THAT YOU DON'T SPEED.

I love your blanket assumptions! Do you have some sort of special power that allows you to know how old I am? Did I ever purport to not be a speeder?

The thing that irritates me is that you somehow feel as though you are above the law. That you can speed when you are not working. If our Government (your employeer) decides to roll back to the good old days of 75mph then great, but for the time being I don't think it would be lawful for you or me to travel at such speeds legally? Just a thought.

And if you feel that going 85 does not put others at risk then you have obviously not been paying attention during all of your training classes. It is not just yourself that you must worry about on the road, but all other drivers as well. This would encompass the law abiding citizens driving 55 that you will slam into while you are flying down the road.

Your autobahn comment is quite nice, perhaps you should move to Germany.

Now to take you back to my original post..........I didn't mean to offend anyone, especially an officer. But please, stop trying to rationalize your illegal behavior. It's simply ridiculous.

Side bar: If your on a track then speed to your hearts content. But when your on the streets, don't think it's cool to speed just because you have a get out of jail card (badge). If you have kids, then you could probably imagine how bummed out you would be if a speeder rear ended them and someone was fatally injured. Ultimately speed kills.

Ah whatever,,,,, :blah: :blah: :blah:

I gotta get back in my box, I have some speed traps to pick up with my V1!!!!!!

"The cops should be better examples, but at the same time they are still people. The way I look at it, if a cop busts me for running 80 in a 65 on a open highway, his ___ better be running 65 on it when he drives down it."

Uh sorry to report that cops dont have to obey the speed limit. For instance a state trooper is alloweed to exceed the limit even when not enroute to a call. It's called "troopping the line" In his 8 hour shift he may have to cover a very large area, sometimes several hundred mlies. He has to exceed the limit in order to effectively cove his "beat" within a given shift. Fact of the matter is most state traffic codes allow for the officer to disreagrd the stautes under color and authority of the badge.
Just like I am allowed to carry a concealed weopon anywhere in the U.S. even off duty and most people cant. BTW I am considered "on duty" "on call" when I'm not working, AND they passed a law last year saying they dont have to pay me for being on call.
If this doesnt sit right with anybody, this is what I always say...put in your application, pass the academy, and put your life on the line. Remember, I run TO the sound of gunfire not AWAY from it.
Do I speed and get away with it? Yes I do, thank you very much. For those who think it's "wrong", again I say, I have let plenty of speeders go with a warning. (after I get my quota) Lets stay in the real world boys and girls. Or would you rather I lie?

No I wouldn't rather you lie. The fact of the matter is that you are probably a cool guy. Your just getting a bad rep cause I haven't exactly been treated all that cool in the past by cops.

I don't think I need to get all into it and I certainly am not attempting to ellicit the typical response of I was probably an A-hole to the cop and I deserved everything I got. But the fact of the matter is that you said you regularly speed and now you are back tracking.

Again, your probably a cool guy. I mean, hey you drive a Scion right. And then there is the Scioncop who for a while was dolling out tons of free advice. Geesh I even supported his main views.

Lets let bygones be bygones and then next time I getted pulled over, I will flash them my buddy card that your going to send to me.....right? right? right?

Big ups.

Keep on running towards the bullets. I know I sure as hell won't.

"It is not just yourself that you must worry about on the road, but all other drivers as well. This would encompass the law abiding citizens driving 55 that you will slam into while you are flying down the road. "


(Gasp) You're RIGHT!!! I never thought of that ! Wait....what is that third pedal for...dont tell me...ones the gas...ones the clutch....now I think the other one is the... BRAKE! Yeah thats it the brake it slows you down when your about to slam into law abiding citizens. ( a very useful invention)
Your arguement is specious in that you purport that every one is doing 55 and here comes little old me doing 85 and like a stray bullet, BAM, the poor legal driver is dead. (woe is him, woe is him) Have ya driven on an interstate at all in your life??? Do you know what speed the average driver is doing on said interstate? Does your medication make you silly or hallucinate? Or this this your normal ridiculously pompous attitude? And you have to ask why I assumed your young and dumb?
Let me also make another assumption. You have been pulled over and written how many tickets? Or was it DWI? (Has to be a reason for all this bitterness toward the police.)

Ok I guess I was writing this last one while you were writing your apology. So lets bury the hatchet (just not in my head) I'll try not to speed as much, for the childrens sake.(WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!) This was fun but now I have to get ready to go to work and write some more speeding tickets C-YA
P.S. I'm sure you're cool too...after all you're from NY right?

My friend,

So fast you become hostile. I guess they teach that in the academy. I have been pulled over and ticketed twice in 15 years. Neither of which was in the last 14 years. Point being that I learned my lesson. The posted speed limit is also meant to be the legal speed limit.

I would infer from your remarks that if I was travelling with the speed of traffic on an interstate that I would be speeding. It's wonderful that an officer just assumes that everyone breaks the law. I guess that's why we really do need to rely on the fact the everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

Now to address you assumptions about my perception of officers. I grew up in a non-major metro area as a skateboarder...nuff said.

Please don't make an a$$ out of yourself with comments referring to medications or DWI's it is just showing your hand. As an FYI, there is a whole generation of straight edge citizens on the prowl. Try to handle your feedback a bit more intellegently.

Additional side bar: you seem to be taking this personally. Not to deflate your boat, but I could care less if it was you or your Chief............if you are an officer of the law you are not above the law.


Got that Chief-------- :blah: :blah: :blah:


Now get back out there Danno.

EDIT::::::I threw this little puppy out there before seeing your reply......Hatchet burried....and if you think I am going to tell you where I'm from your craaaazzzzzy.

Unless of course you need my address to send me a buddy pass......YEEEAAAHHHH>

Ok I just gotta ask... what the hell is a "straight edge citizen" and just where are they on the "prowl"?

Straight edge refers to living drug and alchohol free. Treating the body as the temple that it truely is. Not fogging the mind and spirit with outside substances. It basically means living the good life. Now I didn't say I don't throw back some cold budweiser on the weekends....just alerting those who didn't know.

Where you from?

I would love to do a ride along.........and I don't mean in the back seat......

Virginia...and sorry we dont take ride alongs. Some of what we do is classified. We do set up speed traps on the civilian highways but that does not encompass most of my day. (Only during peak hours) I couldnt even get you on our facility with out a security clearance.

I understand. As a consolation prize I'll take that buddy pass/get out of jail card.

I thought speed traps were a no, no? Or are you trying to tease me?

N Y C X B O X

Ok, for some reason almost everyone here think a cop can't own a fast car...wtf?

They have lives too, they don't (usually) go to work everyday and be like "I'm going to pull over everyone who goes over the speed limit"

Yea, I've been pulled over before from a**hole cops but that doesn't make me believe every cop is an a**.

So my buddy buys an 05 mustang v6, 5sp ,this weekend. It weighs 3400 lbs and has 210 HP and 240 foot lbs of torque. It goes from 0-60 in 7 secs. (fly by wire)and tops out at 113. (speed limiter) and has traction control. Now, I think I can take him. what do ya think??? (we are both cops so we should be able to race with no problem.)
Mines a 5 sp as well.

are you kidding me?

I'm not sure what's more disgustin... your choice in cars to "race" or the fact that you're a "police officer"

maybe you should just stick to picking up wifey and the kids in your car...

Ok, for some reason almost everyone here think a cop can't own a fast car...wtf?



just going out on a limb here but I'm not thinking anyone had a fast car in mind when posting :eyebrow:

wasn't this thread all about a straight line drag race??????

Yes, I think it can be done if you have the better reaction time with clean shifts and warmed tires.

How the does a radar detector, detector work there in VA? How are they enforced? :eyebrow:

look at me!!!! i run towards gunfire so i can speed when i want!! whoohoo!!!

Dear Dustin and SVT2NV, :loser:

Hey next time your in trouble like when some one jacks your car, why dont you call a plumber or maybe your mommy. (of course it has been my experience that people who scream the loudest when it comes to cop bashing are the first to call one when they are in trouble.)

Dear Marshall,

In Va. radar detectors are illegal to posses in a vehicle. We confiscate them where I am.

If this guy's a cop, then I'm Eliot Ness. What a poser!

At best he sits the gate at Ft. Belvoir, checking badges. Talks about security clearance, when people who talk about it, don't get one! Talks about drag racing, when people who do and boast about it, or don't and make it up, don't get access to classified material. :rofl:

if u were referring to me, my name is Duston, 2nd, so far in my life i have not had the need to call a cop and hopefully never will. I use to have no feelings towards cops, even after i got my first/only ticket when i was 17, until i started meeting all these cops on power trips who had no intelligence nor reasoning capability what so ever.... we'll save those stories for a later date.

Ok dustin...later

"Talks about security clearance, when people who talk about it, don't get one! Talks about drag racing, when people who do and boast about it, or don't and make it up, don't get access to classified material. "

Uh, yeah... you've also been watching to much TV. My clearance is a matter of public record. The fact that I have one is not classified. Also I dont recall anything on my poly that asked if I bragged about drag racing before my clearance was granted...but as someone who hasnt the faintest idea of how it works I guess I can forgive your ignornance.

Dear svt,
It very difficult to respond to you in as much as you must find it nearly impossible to string an intelligible thought togethter. Moreover, it really isnt sporting of me to engage you in a battle of wits as that would be analagous to me dueling with an unarmed man. Therefore, I will close by saying that for someone who has an extra 21st chromosome, you do communicate quite well!

Dogbeater, jam your firearm up your ___.

^^^Wow.. that was intelligent

Moreover, it really isnt sporting of me to engage you in a battle of wits as that would be analagous to me dueling with an unarmed man.

.......kind of like racing scions and v6 mustangs?

In come the trolls

And the big boys will say the same about racing ANY street car... on and on. And seeing as how there are already a couple of tCs in the 12s (and still street legal), I wouldnt laugh at it too much.

take your own advice big guy.

You know his last post was over a week ago, i think were all over it. No need to respond to this thread anymore.

You know his last post was over a week ago, i think were all over it. No need to respond to this thread anymore.

but that would mean i'd have no reason to return the the board and what would you do without the quickest ride on the site :P

I think your right, without you on here, this site will never be the same and will be doomed. We probably couldn't last more than a month without you.

A manual Mustang can take my 115 hp Sunfire no comp. It was a 2003. It was a good 4 cars length ahead. I'd say the tC should keep up, but not pass.

P.S. This was a friendly race between me and my friend. So it's not some stranger who didn't know they were racing me. lol :P

ok, well i raced my friends 02 mustang auto, in my manual tc(wr intake injen exhaust). from a stop 3 times. First two runs, i was alone, and he had a friend of ours with him who weighs about 150 lbs. First two runs, i get in front on the launch, pull on him until about 5k in 3rd, then very very slowly continued to pull , we went to about 90-95 and i was close to a car length in front of him (myself and the driver of the stang agreed it was about a car length). 3rd race, our friend hopped in with me. I took him on the launch by very little, in the middle of 3rd, we were dead even and stayed even till about 100-105. Until then I had no idea how much difference 150lbs can make.

well its obvious the police dont have to obey the speed limit. i mean everyone knows each other (friends) to begin with. even the police back each other out in court, so if there were 2 cop witnesses and your the only there, you know your ___ is gonna lose...

by the way, its possible to beat the 210hp mustang.... pending on driver... if you say it hit around the 7's then it depends on the driver.




you know what would be funny? if theres an undercover cop driving a corvette (whatever) racing some sporty car just to pull them over for racing... LOL! so like your at a traffic light and raced from dead stop, after goin well over the speed limit just slow down and turn the light up an pull him over LOL!!! whats worst is if that dude beats you and you pulled him over just because of that lol man thats so messed up....

here... my sisters gots 00 v8 mustang gt auto...we raced from a 40mph pull(i saw her driving in this one street and thought of sayin hi^__^) i gotta say i got her a lil pullin from 3rd gear... fun-_-

PS Oh and next time you're in Clarke County let me know and be sure to give me your plate #...I'll be happy to aquaint you with with Mr. Handcuffs, Elliot.

OK thats just a stupid thing to say. Just from your reaction in this topic everyone here can see that you must be one of those cops thats always on a powertrip.

For what it's worth,

With regard to V6 Mustangs, a bone stock '05 AUTO has gone 15.0, and the manuals should be capable of high 14's stock. Also, 99-04 Manuals are capable of low - mid 15's stock. On the other hand, AUTO 99-04's generally run low 16's.

Now, those times certainly aren't average, but it gives you an idea of what they can do.

omg, last night, me and this guy in his mustang pulled up at a red light, when it turned green, both of us floored our cars. the wheels were spinning then the cars darted off. my car was going the same speed as the mustang, then i noticed that i was slowly beating him. after that, *sighs* i heard a noise coming from his car that sounded like nos. it made a loud TSSSST noise. and his car zoomed me. i guess he couldnt take the pressure of being beat by a tc. i only have a injen cai in my car. and his mustang looked like it was 99 or 00. i started laughing at the end but w/e. i had fun.

lol today i called my friend up, i wanted to race his infiniti q45 v8 two hundred and eighty something horsepower, so we did six runs. i obviously knew i was gonna lose but on every single run, in first gear, me and him were the same speed. i was impressed, and so was he.

i love the scion tc :)

So I personally don't care what anyone says but I've raced 2 of my friends....one with w 1999 mustang v6 (190hp) and a 2004 Mustang V6 (193hp)....and both I have beaten with my tC....No mods here...and no mods on the stangs....I pulled about a car on the 2004 stang and about 1-1/2 cars on the 1999 stang...granted with the power to weight ratios and powertrain losses between FWD and RWD, it was a drivers race for the most part...but also the tC's gearing helps out quite a bit.

Hmmm... well I 'm gonna give it a try next time I'm back in NY. I think I'm better behind the wheel too. I figure he may have an advantge with more torque but I've had mine up too the limit @ 127 and if he can only go to 113 I should have him...ya think???
i didn't realize there was a speed limiter on the tC. Is there any way to disengage or over ride the limiter without voiding the warranty?

BTW, why post 140 mph, if you they are going to put a 127 speed limiter on the car

lol I used to ask this myself when I used to be younger....but I guess thats how things go...imagine when u make ur car powerful and unrestrcited enough to get to 140 mph? lol..then it'll come into use...hopefully.

woa woa woa, theres a restrictor for the tc???? i wanna take it off!!!!!!

woa woa woa, theres a restrictor for the tc???? i wanna take it off!!!!!!


there is a limiter on EVERY production car in the US that I know of. They have been doing that for years now.

Taking it off is useless stock, since you will hit redline not far past it.

127 is fast enough anyway.

tru tru. got me excited there for a moment. lol

Alot of this thread is annoying, especially the crap where the guy is giving the cop a hard time. If you don't like, agree, or whatever about street racing, go away. You're not gonna change anyone's opinions.

Now onto the subject.
The 2005 Mustang has a 3 link straight axel, a 4.0L SOHC V6, and a pretty good tranny. You've got a 0 percent chance of taking him unless you've got the TRD supercharger or a turbo charger. The new mustang is seriously one of the best cars ford has ever built. If you're gonna try it, make sure it's an automatic convertable which will be your best shot.

On the otherhand. I would try racing the 3.8L OHV ones in earlier cars like 94-98, even 99-04 will be closer. You can take those 2.3L 4 cylinder foxbody mustangs (79-93) pretty easily except for the SVO ones in the mid 80s that had turbos. The mustang IIs from 74-78 are a joke. I think that the Tc can even take a number of the 5.0s from the slower years.

Nice to see the police are taking advantage of what citizens should not be doing

I don't think so. I know several cars that don't have them. The stock manual RX-8 for instance tops out at about 148mph limited by drag, while the auto is less-powerful but actually has a governor. I've personally seen stock 350Zs, STis, etc. pushing way over 140. I think almost all regular passenger cars and trucks have limiters on them. But plenty of sports cars will go as fast as you care to push them.

I might be a little late, but the cop seems like a good guy, and you guys should just stop giving him ____. Wouldn't even be an issue if he didn't say he was a cop, or if it wasnt in his name.

Since I turned 16, about a year and a half ago, I've gotten 3 speeding tickets. Sucks having your license almost taken away, and doing 12 hour traffic classes. Made me realize I should just take it to the track and cut the ____.

And for the records, Straight Edge is just an alias for the Fourth Reich. ____ing _______s.

im a little late too, but here is my experince with drive by wire........my 04 accord has it, and sometimes when im taking off froma stoplight, and sort of feather the gas, it actually tricks the car, and makes the car act like its loosing all power........its weird.

so i think it would be a drivers race.........especially if he accidently feathers or has any hesitation in the acceleration...

My friend with a 6speed stock celica GT-S lost to a new v6 mustang by about 3/4 of a car. So imo you wll get beat

The 04-05 manual rx8 is electronically limited at 148mph
350z limited at 155
civic si limited at 132
05 accord limited at 130


I am sure there are some that do not have the limiter out there.. but I have seen more that do than dont. I was trying to point out that the limiter is by no means out of the ordinary and is there for a reason

As far as the mustang... a new GT will EAT our lunch, period, not even a question. Better performing and RWD make for a much better straight line car. If the v6 is driven correctly (the manual version) it will also take us by a little. It is more of a drivers race though due to the closeness in performance.

I am not a big ford fan after owning them in the past, but the newer mustang isnt too shabby in the numbers. Not the greatest.. and certainly not the nicest looking car imo, but not horrible either. Now, the new shelby does impress me.. but its a bit more spendy as well :P

For domestic powerplants I still favor the trusty old chevys. The 350 has always been an excellent, easy and inexpensive to build platform. Faster revving than the fords and produces nice power. The new vette motor makes me drool :P And for a little more serious power, the crate 572 just plain makes me pee myself. I like the idea of playing with just about anything to make it go faster, but if I build a truely serious 1/4 mile car, you can damn well bet it will be RWD and be sporting a blown 572..... but I digress, heh heh
