mustang vs civic
 

how much difference is there between the 02 civic ex and 02 mustang gt. i know the mustang's engine specs and everything, but i dont know how much the weight (or whatever else) somewhat evens out the competition.

just curious.

thanx

There is a big difference, and the GT will smoke an '02 EX.

02' Honda Civic EX Coupe MT:
127 HP @6500 RPM
2555 lbs curb weight
20lbs/HP

02' Mustang GT V6
190 HP @5500 RPM
3066 lbs curb weight (approx)
16lbs/HP

02' Mustang GT V8
260 HP @5250 RPM
3066 lbs curb weight (approx)
11.7lbs/HP

Good luck with that one!:rolleyes:

New EX M/T: 16.8 ET
New GT M/T: ???14.3 ET

* The "v6" above is a fatty typo - of course I meant v8. I'm referring to the P42.140A, which is the GT.

They made a mustang GT V6?!?!?:paranoid:

That doesnt sound right.. GT's are and will be V8s

the GT's are V8's....wth are you guys getting your info on the GT V6???? i suggest you stop going there for info.

unless theuy have fake badges. i don't think they made a v6 GT

No, there's not a V6 GT. I posted the specs for each of the engines for curosities sake.

i thought so.

Did this question really get asked? *pinches self*
Mustang = Muscle Car
Civic = Econobox

Nuff said.

mustang gt.... 260 hp 302 tq
civic ..... wayyy less

v6 mustang 193hp...

190....I beat one of those single exhaust mustangs....if thats a V6 i have no idea and i really dont care..lol

Usually if it has a single exhaust it is a V6, but not always. ;)

You prolly raced a SN95 Mustang (94-98). They have a 150 hp (used to have one). Weight kills them... and all single exhaust mustangs are v6's.

did you really need to make this thread?...

i think he was trying to ask what's the hp/weight ratio of both cars but couldn't find the words.*shrug* 1/4 times speak for themselves...

amen to that.

there are 2000 and 2001 mustangs with the 4.6l v8 and single exhaust and no gt badging. Seen them acouple of times, people special order them.

blie, you have a dyno sheet for ur wrx?... i find it hard to imagine that a wrx can get so much hp with so little mods considering awd loses lots of hp through the drivetrain.

Yes the price can even out the competition real fast. You take that extra almost 8200$, put a B-series motor in the civc, turbos and short throw shifter and line them up again and see who wins.

69 mustangs are pretty other then that i dont like rustangs:paranoid: I wasted a v6 in my sisters automatic jetta!

actualy ive seen a black WRX running those times at the track with exaust, downpipe, turbo intake, IC piping and a manual boost controller.. so i dont doubt it.
