& what's the initial cost + the cost of ownership difference?

i dont know how much it weighs but stangs are about the same weight. you missied my point you would only spend $ 500. and you forgot dyno tune.

Figure it out.

Unless you pick up an R302, even if you WERE concerned with STRIP only, the limits of the block design makes for a 200hp advantage.

 

and two tenths with the same driver skill is still a win.

Perhaps you should look it up.

The reason I can blow off a dyno tune is because initial + ownership adds up to well over 20K over the course of 4 years.

Diesels are even heavier, which doesn't assist with handling -both the fuel AND the engine.

I'm well under the cost of a GT, and they can't catch me on mountain roads.

 

Sorry dude, but I don't see why you would pay a premium for a bunch of crappy parts you have to replace anyway. Unless you're getting an SVT, it's not worth it. and I can put together a v6 package for well under the cost.

 

Shelby does the same thing, but charges 5K for his name alone.

Ford detuned the cam & removed the rear sway bar from the 94-98 3.8Ls in 2001 because they were outperforming the GTs on the track.

The GT has hyperteutectic pistons too, and the rods aren't forged either - If you want to make big power you have to replace 8 of them instead of 6.

Because, (perhaps you haven't been paying attention) it's not a 1/4 mile race.

None of them have ever come close to winning a targa. I'm more worried about minicoopers.

What are you talking about? You drive a truck, and the "faster" cars do the 1/4 mile in 15 secs.

 

You may have noticed you're the only one following this asinine enquiry.

Then go to school, get your GED or whatever and study engineering & finance, because you clearly don't understand commerce, design, or math.

 

You don't even understand the difference between a 1/4 race and a rally.

No, I said his Terlingua car (4.0L v6) outperforms his Shelby GT (he will tell you this himself). but he charges 6K for his name on the car.

The ONLY mustangs that were TRULY built for the strip were the Cobra Jets & Boss 429s.

The Fox cars were actually built as Volkswagen Fox fighters and was a multipurpose chassis with rallying in mind (which is why they have so much suspension travel).

Again, you still haven't looked at the design considerations. Even with a used car you would have to replace everything, and then you have the added worries about repairing abuse.

buy the car used.

Of the cars you mention, the Corvette, Ferrari, & Cobra are track cars (but only the last two generations of Corvette). The EVO & Impreza are rally cars, not track cars, but the most developed of them are circuit cars, not made for long distances. the 3000GT is a GT car, and the IS 300 is an entry level luxury vehicle.

 

Of the bunch you mention, only the Impreza and EVO are competitive in long distance rallies & targas. But the Mini has generally beaten all of them.

 

Several Mustangs have come close, but what has hampered the Mustangs are weight, specifically front engine weight and gas consumption.
