I have a kid at work who bought a 5.0 mustang coup and thinks its a cobra. So hes taking off all the stuff on the body so people think its a cobra and he tryes to race everyone. My 68 falcon wooped his arse the first week he bought the car to work.


I have no respect for idiots who buy mustangs and Cammaros and think there hot sh{i}t becasuse of the name.

If you want a fast cammaro then buy a 69 cammaro.

Drag racers have very small noodlees.

Hahahaha now that I'm off the floor, why don't you drive your 69 Cam(m)aro up here and I'll go grab my old ride, a 99 SS w/Supercharger a la vortec, etc, that runs in the high 10's and we'll see what's what.

Every person I know that bought the "idiotic Mustangs and Camaro's" had and has the ability to mod them up themselves, and for a lot less money then what the Azn cars will cost you, you can get into the 11 second range.  3500$ supercharger, a chip, a bit of bottom and top end work, and BAM, instant 480 HP, plus the car is still driveable as a milk getter.

Don't see what the problem is with that.  Don't paint all of us with the same brush just because some kid at your work is a handsomehunk.

Nice link.  :)

Actually mods on the WRX are pretty cheap, because it's all about more boost.  The WRX doesn't need as much hp to run a good ET because of the AWD system.  Stock is somewhere between 14.5 and 14.1.  A $50 boost controller will get you low 13's, and ~$1000 on intake and exhaust gets you into the 12's.  If you start messing with turbos and intercoolers and water injection and fuel injectors and ECU's you can run 10's.  Some maniac in Australia has one that runs 9's.  But I think the modded WRX's are more likely to explode than the modded muscle cars.  IMHO 227 hp from 2.0l is risky enough.  Drivetrain is not a reliability issue though, because STi and other companies make full-race dogboxes and differentials that you can swap in and out for the stock units.

I'm not really into drag racing though.  Where the WRX really shines is on a twisty bumpy road with maybe a little moisture.  Then WRX will say "adios" to the bloated Detroit whales.  :)

I'd be interested to see what kind of 1/4 mile times the WRC version would run.  They are limited to about 300 hp (restrictor plate) but they have 500+ lb-ft and are very light.

Only due to the ugliness, it scares them the other direction :D  I think the Pontiac Aztec was WRX's mother.

I've seen so many times where teens and classmates who drive the Mustangs and Cameros think they're hot stuff, when they really aren't.

A few weeks ago, we had a student who has just bought a brand new Mustang 5.0. Within two weeks, he had the thing modded so much that it looked like a friggin rally racer, but under the hood was a different story. Though he had a fart pipe on the back, the engine had ben tweeked wrong. Me and a few friends were listening to him talk about how fast his car was, and my best friend told me to challenge him. So I did. Being the jock he was, he accepted and was bragging on how bad he'd beat me.

We drove out to Kennedale that Satruday. There, there is a racetrack where mod cars are allowed to drag race if they paid a fee to enter. We paid our fees and waited, him in his heavily modded 2002 Mustang, and me in my stock 1986 Honda Prelude. Many kids were gathered around, waiting to watch me lose.

When our turn came up, we took our positions on the line. He revved his motor as the Christams tree was being reset. It no longer sounded like a Mustang, but a bad rice rocket. Anyways, the lights falshed, the engine revved, and on the green light we were off.

I don't think I've seen a dick shrink so fast. My little import tore up his domestic POS by about 1.5 seconds. SO it's not surprising that a Subaru could beat any American cars. Most imports do.

:D:D:D:D

I didnt mean everyone just the handsomehunk kids who buy cars just for the name and think there faster then anyone when there car is stock.

The guy who lives next to me has a 1969 roadrunner that runs 9's if he hits all the gears right.  


Drag racing is not my cup of tea.

you guys crack me up...

texace.. a stock 86 qualude in good tune will run around a 16 sec quarter..  a stock 02 mustang gt will run around 14.5   huge difference.   A stock ls1 will destroy a wrx...  no big deal.

as for old vs new... I got a 69 elky with a 471 and a 6 speed it will run well but... a vortec supercharged late model car will run well too.   age is not important.

when it comes to the honda type drag racers... you don't get something for nothing... their trannies, cv joints shafts and even wheel studs are all meant to handle about 200 ft lbs of torque...   go to any drag race where it is an "import grudge match"  you will watch these guys tearing up some pretty expensive stuff... Add just a few mods and you can't make the next smog inspection plus... they all sound like prolonged flatulance.   You don't see many street driven rice rockets that pass smog and run in the 12's much less the 10's

the real trend is "g" machines... cars that accelerate, stop and handle in an extremely good manner... these cars are cutting laps that full blown road racers couldn't do a few years ago... even funked's station wagon is is running better than older race cars used to.    Most of us can't drive well enough to get 50% of our cars potential out in any case.  still.... running a car at the drags in the 12's takes some talent.   on a dry twisty uphill course my hortchkiss/bilstein equipped 471 elky 6 speed will not be too humiliated by funked's wrx... and I am just a ham fisted old man with very little driving skill.

gman... if you have a 99 SS that runs in the 10's with nothing but a vortech then you have the fastest one in existance... I know of 2 impala SS that have superchargers and beefed 700R trannies with low gears and they run low 12's high 11's with drag radials..  And these guys know what they are doing.  There is a world of difference between a high eleven and a 10 sec car.

Really, any new v8 v10 rear wheel drive American car can add several hundred bolt on horespower and pass smog...  you will not believe how fast these cars are.    The drivetrains will hold up too...  Heck.... I bet most of you never even drove a stock ford lightning truck.... most of the guys with imports who talk about how "fast" their cars are have never ridden in a car that  sets you back in the seat while the intake sucks in 1000 cfm and the 10'' tires scream like banshees with their butt on fire.   Untill youve felt 600 ft lbs of torque or more at 4k... you probly haven't gotten enough perspective to get into the discussion.
