2001 mustang 5 speed vs. 2005 mustang auto.

DannyStu · September 22nd, 2007, 01:59 PM

Hey everyone,

There is this guy at school who wants to race me: I have a 2001 mustang coupe/manual/ CAI, and he has a 2005 mustang/auto/stock. Do I have a chance?

HMUSN · September 22nd, 2007, 02:01 PM

nope.

welcome to the forums by the way.

DannyStu · September 22nd, 2007, 02:06 PM

Thanks = ]

How badly do you think I would lose? I mean, he's making a couple of extra horsepower, but his car is also heavier and would most likely shift slower...

mustang1072 · September 22nd, 2007, 02:09 PM

it wouldnt b that bad... hes @ 210hp and weighing 3476 ... ur @ 190hp and weighing 3064

mustang1072 · September 22nd, 2007, 02:10 PM

n welcome

HMUSN · September 22nd, 2007, 02:10 PM

a car or 2 if that.

Get some gears and you will pass him.

I just noticed that this was in the v6 section.

I thought you were talking about GT's at first which is why I was kind of blunt with my reply.

it will be closer than you think.

hi hmusn

SSStang · September 22nd, 2007, 02:34 PM

2-5 cars depending on his launch ........

the 2005 automatics are 5speeds and shit pretty nicely !

HMUSN · September 22nd, 2007, 02:35 PM

they shit nicely huh?

DannyStu · September 22nd, 2007, 02:36 PM

Oh ok thanks guys.

Also, does you guys know what the typical hp gain is for a cold air intake? And also the 0-60 time of a v6 stang? lol sorry I have so many questions...

HMUSN · September 22nd, 2007, 02:37 PM

about 3 HP for the cai.

the 0-60 is in the 7 second range.

They arent too tough to handle...I did fudge a launch on my bald tires and lose to a stock one last week tho lol. Other than that they arent any trouble

Tune's make huge differences -

02ponypackage · September 22nd, 2007, 05:22 PM

they are def. better then the New Edge mustangs motor wise...stock forged rods i hear...i wouldnt mind that...plus the extra trq......he would def get u...and pending how u launch only makes the lose worse if since the CAI isnt do much just alone

tomzac · September 22nd, 2007, 08:14 PM

You will loose bad. Eventhough they are heavier with a slight more hp/trq, Their output curves are much better than the Essex v6. The engine is more efficient at making power across a wider range and the redesigned auto transmission is nothing like the previous auto. It has another gear, better valving, and an improved fluid path design.

HMUSN · September 22nd, 2007, 08:18 PM

from MY exp. with them

I have an 01 V6 5 spd.

all I had was a catback/intake and steeda tri ax.

I raced one from a dig and won by half a car.

granted if we were to keep going (stopped once I hit 4th) I think he would have beat me.

lol.. I stopped in 4th because he was starting to inch forward.

ROUSHME661 · September 22nd, 2007, 11:43 PM

he wouldnt beat you too bad..my friend has an 06 auto and i have an 01 5 speed and i was on his passenger door the whole time i was surprised though..we were both stock too by the way

Rohis · September 23rd, 2007, 11:09 AM

If you get a couple small cheap mods done (intake, exhaust), you take your spare tire and jack out of the trunk, and you're a good enough driver, you could probably stand with him.

With some gears I bet you'd slip right past him.

whitemustang02 · September 23rd, 2007, 05:30 PM

also rear seats come out prity easy so that is about 100 more lb's you could lose

Mustangfan99 · September 27th, 2007, 06:25 PM

get some gears and a tune, than you should sail right past him.
