Miata vs Mustang GT

[JVanWinkle10]

You beat a mustang and will still take him in the twisties. Good job buddy. Have fun and keep the wheels turning.

[giantcornhole]

SUpercharger.... thats interesting for a miata. most guys turbo it. very cool though. but your full potential isnt in a straight line, take that baby through sum turns! ;)

[JRJcrf150f]

what super charger you running? i got a 96 im about to start building up. havent decided if im going turbo or supercharger yet.

[The1320Addiction]

@JRJcrf150f

turbo, do it

[leagacy23]

honestly, the sn95 mustangs (94-99) were like the worst years gts came in. my 97 gt has 215hp at the flywheel stock. im actually about to trade my car for a 2000 miata and have many plans for it. everytime i tell people im about to get a miata they say its a chicks car, but in really, i see more girls driving mustangs than i have ever seen drive miatas...

[UberFAKnNooB]

@leagacy23 Not that bad. The 94-95 still had the 5.0. And you could get some easy hp out of it by upgrading to the gt40 or gt40p heads. You can find those pretty easy in a junk yard and they can run you around $100. Grab the intake manifold too and you can make that 5.0 pretty powerful. The 96-98 4.6 has a better block than the 99-04. Swap the heads and you will get a nice bonus there too. Working on an engine for mine, but I'm no racer so that's about all I'll do. Just a lil more kick.

[phuse99]

lol mustang fanboys, all the same.... they can see their car lose but somehow in their minds...it didn't.

[Grummur]

Not really all that amazing... that Era was pretty much turdsville for mustangs. Still, neat run, and neat little miata you got there :]

[Neckbonekat1029]

Nice win. As a Mustang owner a GT is not as fast as people like to think it is. The Mustang GT will be next year, but the 2V GT was very unimpressive stock. Ford only stepped up their game because Pontiac, Chevy, Dodge, Hyundai and others already had cars that were more than rivals for the Mustang GT.

[luvv2snip]

lol who cares, miatas are like 100hp stock, its pretty good that he beat the mustang.

[RocketBurn11]

So you beat a stock naturally aspirated Mustang, with a supercharged Miata. Your power to weight ratio was definitely the killer. What year mustang was it?

[Bowerso]

It wasn't totally stock, he said he had some racing trans in it, any way, I think it was a 96', if he had 20 more feet he would have had me.

[BigDiesel85]

what did u run in the 1/4?

[MiyagiDoKarate]

I ran a 17 flat.

[daddylexy]

good race miata are great cars

[NateDawg111]

mustang rapes miata all day

[Bowerso]

You did notice the Miata won that one right? I've beaten more Mustangs than I've lost to.

[NateDawg111]

ya and ur not driving a miata, ur driving some crap u put ur life savings into on a huge engine, not a miata anymore, u can put a huge engine in any car.

[Bowerso]

Huge? it's a 1.8, that's 112 cubic inches.

The whole car cost $3500 w/supercharger, not exactly my life savings.

[xRussruary]

1up!

[spoonr47]

lol u fukin retard.

[Fallingup899]

@NateDawg111 really dude? are you that stupid?

[naynay101hotdog]

I lol'd.

[0ukami]

Obviously not this day. LAWL.

[squirrely911]

@NateDawg111

Too bad a Mustang is a woman's car /:

[SubSonicSlapz]

@NateDawg111

This guy always bashes on every car by saying the most stupid shiiiiiiiii....

[n1u2t3z4]

nice race :) props to the miata :P

[Georgenfla]

Thats a 4 cylinder Miata you idiot! You can't hear the engine?

[wellshii]

i know these comments are old,but people need to learn how to fucking read..

[huntercarroll]

listen to wakeskater04 forreal people, the person who posted this never said it was a v8 miata.

[JgHaverty]

forgot to comment, good driver bowerso

[wakeskater04]

haha it doesnt even say anywhere in the description that its a v-8 miata you guys. it says its supercharged against a v8...v8 wins are hard fought(his words)

[bodym285]

That in no way is a v8 miata

[pooshits]

yeah any asshole can tell by the sound of the engine that it's not a damn v8.

[wellshii]

any asshole who can read knows that nowhere it says the miatas a v8

[steverileo]

thats a monster miata guys its a miata with a 5.0 liter mustang v8. with that engine it still only weighs 2300 lbs and pumps out over 300 hp.

[detroitiron302]

Does that really sound like like a 5.0 to you? Are you deaf?

[Bowerso]

See my other videos for shots of the motor. But I do have a 5.0 in an 81 Rx-7..

[sharkythesharkdogg]

That, my friend, is not a monster Miata. It has the same four liter exhaust note with the same supercharger whine that mine makes. He just got a good launch.

[bahama121]

In no way shape or form is there a 5.0 liter engine under that hood. That is a Jackson Racing Supercharger with a crank pulley upgrade running probably a 62.5mm nose pulley. He said he only ran a 14.82...thats not blinding fast, but it is great for a Miata.

[vegtia312]

That is not a V8 it sounds like a regular miata engine with a supercharger.

[steeda1984]

Evan Smith of Muscle Mustangs and fast ford ran a 01 bone stock GT 5 speed coupe to a number or 13.7@101 runs in fairly warm weather up north. So it could be possible to get a GT to run a 13.2, if you have absolutely perfect conditions, some weight reduction and a few minor mods. Last but surely not least. NOT ALL CARS ARE THE SAME. Some GT's won't break 14's bone stock. SOME are clear capable of 13's with ease...bone stock.

[JgHaverty]

clearly you have no clue how cars work.

[03mustgt]

Yeah a gt can run a 13.2, but not in stock form, not even on slicks, the car would bog off the line with slicks.

[Jabyjabjab01]

i want my m..p..g.. :o)

[Bz3rk]

I've never though of the Miata as a drag car, just a road racer. But then again you should see the one they are building in Sport Compact Car; all carbon fiber body parts, with a roll cage, still under 2000 lbs. Put on a FM turbo and you have increadible power to weigh ratio!

[elesjuan]

Oh, you mean the one they wasted the money to stroke out to a 2 liter and the body panels that don't fit? I give them credit for effort, but they're misplacing the true work.

[HACKGT350]

ill go with they dont know how to drive if i can run a 15.1 in my 84 5.0 175k on the clock with a busted trans and some other engine problems that car can run a 13.2 on slicks

[HACKGT350]

im sorry but an 02gt will most deff run a 13.2 with slicks.

[Bowerso]

OK according to Edmunds, a 2002 Bullitt mustang (5 hp more then the GT) ran, at best, was a 14.4 @ 99.5mph. now unless you think they are lying, or they don't know how to drive.. thoes are the numbers...

[02WinDixieGT]

mustang had to of missed a gear or let out...i have a stock 2002 gt and on my worst day i was running 14.2 13.7 on a good day...and 13.2 on slicks (Stock), very impressive time though , my friend has a supercharged svt focus with thousands of internal work and it will outrun me...

[Bowerso]

Yea the new GT's kill me, that was a 1996 4.6L, Those I can beat pretty consistantly, the 5.0's and like I said the new ones are hard for my 1.8, next time I go to the track will be with the 81 V8 Rx-7..

Bring on the NEW GT mustangs!!

[sheeblue01]

13.2 out of a Stock 2 valve with just slicks? I'm sorry but I have to wave the B.S. Flag with that comment. Are your racing downhill with a tailwind?

[03mustgt]

Yeah bullshit, not a chance in hell you pulled a 13.2 on slicks in a bone stock mustang gt. Full bolt ons I would believe you, but a 13.2 is just ridiculous. People like you that lie about their times give mustang drivers a bad name.

[02WinDixieGT]

My car ran 13.9 @ 101mph completely stock with street tires...someone who can drive like the devil can run better times than that....i just done headers and intake and ran a 13.7 @ 102mph on street tires....you must not know shit about racing to think that these numbers are impossible..

[03mustgt]

Obviously a 13.7 with headers and intake is possible, but a 13.2 bone stock.... I still call bullshit. Its not going to happen. Slicks dont really help that much as traction is not what limits the 2V gt, its the power. I believe I know more than you do. And no headers and exhaust is not a stock car. Just to give you guys some basis, 03 cobras run ~12.9 stock. And this guy claims his car with 130 less hp is running 13.2 No way.

[02WinDixieGT]

i gotta buddy ran 12.50s, has an 03 cobra, went from the factory to the track....im not claiming to know more than anyone dude, i only know what ive experienced...unless the track altered my time slips before i gotem...

[03mustgt]

Is your track below sea level? Thats the only other thing i can think of man. I just dont see how its possible. What kind of 60 ft times were you getting? That will explain alot to me.

[02WinDixieGT]

60'-2.0

1/8th-9.1 (i think) @ 75mph

well here...*** DOT bowlinggreenmustangs DOT comFOWARD SLASH Carl FOWARD SLASH ET DOT htm

thats got everyone i hang out withs time on it...look for 02windixiegt

[02WinDixieGT]

Let me add a little to that last comment i made before you go bashing it as well...he ran on drag radials and ran 12.5s

[03mustgt]

You have some impressive times 13.7 @ 104, but what do you have done to your car?

[sheeblue01]

speaking of the track altering the time slips thats really not a bad idea if you own a track because if you can convince people that they will run faster at your track then you will get alot of repeat business. So im going to say that a 13.2 out of a stock 2 valve on slicks is an altered time slip.

[02WinDixieGT]

well believe what you want about the 13.2 jackass im not trying to convince anyone no more about it...

for the times i did run it was new upper plenum and headers...i put gears in, 4.10, but they didnt help any at all, thats it tho, no pulleys or tunes or chips or anything....ran at Beech Bend in Bowling Green Ky.

[03mustgt]

So you did not run a 13.2?

[Mach1isaac]

02win..you dont know jack shit..i have an 02 gt also and i have more mods than you and im not running those times yet..and i can drive better than u can bull..and gears make a hell lot of a difference...especially 4.10's shit i have 3.73's and im slapin ls1's without the juice or supercharger..one more thing...there is no way u can run 13.2's on a 2v 4.6 motor with just intake and headers..unless u did it on a playstation..shit like i said i have gt with more mods and im barely running that..

[Mach1isaac]

one more thing..i work as a technician at a ford dealership..and no its not the power that limits the 2v. its the poor flow of the heads at top end..they just suck...but u can buy some 2v heads from Ford racing that look like stock but offer the top end power flow... and dude im not hatin on you..im just tellin wat i know as a tech..Shit i Love mustangs..especially my mach..so i would really love

[Mach1isaac]

it if my 02 gt could run 13.2s with just intake and headers..

[blackdodie]

and a steeda cold air intake

[blackdodie]

Hell a stock 1991 5.0 5spd will run 1/4 in 14.2

[blackdodie]

hmmm I had a 90 lx 5.0, 5spd, bkk long tube headers, exhaust, preformance chip and 3:55 rear end it would run 13.6

[guyver280z]

Yeah!! Kick the stang!!

[mionkeyfighter2000]

hey wuts up?? thats an awsumn run. i live right by atco and also hav a 1994 supercharged mx5. never ran mine b4 tho. did u ever need any tuning done 2 urs?

[Bowerso]

Not really, just some timming, I added the alcohol injection to quiet down the pinging at high boost (10psi). Without a programable ecu theres not much more I can do at this point, I also put a 10K resister in the mass air flow, this tricks the computer into thinking its -20 degrees out and adds more fuel to the mix..

[IAmUndersteer]

A/F looks good all the way down the strip. Looked to trail a bit leaner toward the end, but couldn't really tell. Nice run.

[Bowerso]

Yea I am having a lean issue, an ecu and bigger injectors would help, but I am not about to put $2000 into that upgrade... I have less then $6k into the car total, and I want to keep costs down...

[drmmr04]

contrary to popular belief, there IS a replacement for displacement

[Bowerso]

That run was a 14.82, it's a 1.8L on street tires.

[blackjackwabam]

nice...is urs a 1.6L turbo? what was ur timeslip? im gonna turbo my 1.8L...
