It will be a close race i'll say. When my focus had minor bolt ons I outran a v6 mustang by about 2 cars, given the mustang was automatic. My buddy at the same time had a automatic 3000gt SL with nothing done and i pulled by a fender and at top end he passed me. With some mods to the mustang as stated vs. this stock 3000 gt i'd have to say the 3000 by about a car.

Ya the VR4...over all wasnt very impressive for a twin motor...

Weight IIRC is around 3900lbs, 300hp, and they run high 13s/low 14s, but only the vr4s.

[zinc02GT]

ehhh the VR-4s have 320 crank hp and i think like 315 ft lb torque and weight about 3780 lbs

if i remember correctly the 0-60 time was 5.4 and 1/4 was 13.8. So Im thinking if a 1999-2004 GT gets a good launch, it should be about dead even till about 65-70 mph then hell crawl ahead...

The baseline 3000gt has 161 hp and the SL has 218 hp. Probably relatively same torque numbers to tag along with them. A V6 mustang should be able to walk this one becuase of the weight of the 3000gt. Only the VR-4 has AWD all the others are FWD from I remember

All in all if its not a VR-4 its not going to be that quick and even if it is a VR-4 its not that fast for something thats got a twin turbo in it.

Only reason I know this crap is because some douche in a VR-4 wants to line em up and he called me a smart man for not doing it that night....cocky prick... Hes stock and I should be able to keep up pretty damn well.

I had to know what Im up against first and I cant wait to see the look on his face when he relaizes I can keep up if not beat him if he gets a bad launch (if i get a good one)

[riddlee josh]

yea i still haven't got to race him yet but i can't wait to. im pretty sure i can beat him. he's not a real good driver either. (not that it takes that much to drive an auto, but i don't think he ever drives fast soooo....... i should be able to beat him) thanks for all the help

[Baker02125]

my friend had a base 3000gt and i raced him one day on the interstate and BLEW him away... i drive a 3.8 btw but he always complained how its only anice lookin car and he never liked his cars speed so he sold it for an 89 5.0 and the thing RIPSSS

[Shawnp182]

He's definitely gonna get you in the torque department cuz of the inline 6. However those cars are 3800 lbs and only get that advertised 13.8 cuz of traction. Get him from about 40 mph and see where he's at. Most of those cars have clutch and tranny issues as well.

[XPLICITSTANG]

i dont think u can man

They got v6s.

[00gtCoolGuy]

a vr4 will kill a new edge gt...i raced a base 3000gt in my 300zx and killed him...an sl should beat your sixxer but the base model sucks ass so i think you can take him

[riddlee josh]

hey i finally got to race him and i killed him by like 3 car lengths. man your right those things are SLOW. when i let off i was up to about 90 and he was like 3 to 4 car lengths back. i love to beat guys that think they have a hot car

[X2RTION GT]

3-4 cars
shiiiiit n they said u would lose

let me be the first to say
nice kill
(a week later) lol i just read this, so...

thats true. i have the stealth and all first gear it is slow then second is a little better but not much. my car is about 1 second faster than the 3000. i cant imagine how slow they are.

The 3000GT (NOT THE TWIN TURBO) will run the same time as the 99up V6 Mustang it's a drivers race, since you have a pre99 sixer , he'd have at least 4-5 carlenghst on you

***EDIT***
Get gears,pulleys,exhaust,intake,tune and you should be able to give him a good run

[Cesar2cool]

But either way man Good Kill, Before i got my GT i had a 00 V6 and i would blow those things doors off with only dual exhuast and a CIA easy Kill..
