[QUOTE=Dave;359565]a 4k car in the ninties on the skid sounds hokey to me. Whats the section on those tires?[/QUOTE

The Mustang is 'only' about 3400 lbs and comes with optional 18 in Pirelli P zeros, dunno the profile...

Wow if true that's not bad at all...actually pretty darn good. I didn't know this.

That's the magazine test result for the 2011 V6. Could do what someone else mentioned and steal a 2010 GT or get about equivalent performance with the 11 V6. I can deal with, ahem, the 'low spec' performance to save money. If I wanna go FAST, I have 2 bikes.

I drive a 2000 Nissan Maxima. the video has an 02 Maxima but they are the same car. Now its got a 3.0 V6 motor in it and it can smoke this Mustang. True the Stang got a bad start but the Maxima is already leading by more than a car length. Now personally I have raced several cars on the interstate starting from a 20 and 30 roll as in Mustangs, Corvettes, VR6 Turbo Jetta,Cadillac CTS and a Turbo SRT4. Guess what my Maxima pulled them all. Im not impressed with any sports car if it can be beat by my full size sedan. Now the Quarter time of the 5.0 may be better than my Maxima but from a roll it would be a much closer race. and just think of the engine in that Maxima being in a smaller car. what then. I would take off 2 secs easy if the car weighed a grand less.

If your car is stock I call BS.

Maybe you're talking about older Vettes or a regular Neon with an SRT hood and wing ?

Don't get me wrong...I like the Maxima...great car but my little SRT will walk it from ANY speed and well my Vette isn't stock so they would probably arrest me for bullying if I sic'd it on the Maxima so we won't even go in to that. Your Maxima...again...if stock...will not pull a C5 or C6 base Vette.

You only have 222 flywheel HP stock. My SRT put that down at the wheels...stock.

I'm just going by what you said...from a roll. Both of my cars are stronger from a roll than they are from a dig...due to wheelspin...a Maxima from 2000 in stock form wouldn't have a chance...plain and simple.

First off, roll racing is for fags.
Take it to the drag strip. I bet you would have a hard time getting a 14.9

The only way your car would beat any of those cars, is if you have an auto trans that kicks down, and they stay in O/D.(BTW, CTSs are balls slow, unless they are a V model)

It kind of reminds me of all the guys on 600s who think they can keep up to the bus, but I rarely go over 6000rpm on the street.

Maybe, but as far as I know those cars have more mods than the SRT8 does.
