RE: civic vs. mustang
I just bought a new'07 Civic Si. I traded in my '05 Mustang GT for it. I can tell you for a fact that mySi doesn't have anywhere near the straight-line thrust that my 'stang had, but you should be able to simply look at each car's numbers to know that.
But I will say that if Iwere racing an '05-'07V-6 Mustang, my money would be on my Si. And when it comes time to deviate from a straight line? Please.

RE: civic vs. mustang
well i know im a noob but you have to analyze this from varying points i have seen only a couple of you guys touch on this the mid 90s v6ers were turds plain and simple, they got better in 98-99, but the 05 and up are kinda wicked that 4.0 has about 215 horse the thing that kills the new stangs is that they weigh almost 5000 lbs GT's being the fat bi**h of the two, but having 300 horse dont hurt, the mustang with very little suspension mods( drop kit two inches and koni shocks, strut tower brace in front, and panhard bar in the rear) will outcorner just about anything in the import market, not knocking civics, they can be fast they are the bane of the local runs, sneaky lil 4cyl's. I am fortunate enough to have both a civic and a stang, civic is fun, lil car zippy agile, and just plain fun to drive my mustang is almost a pain in the *** to drive,, stiff *** king cobra clutch, slippery *** no traction havin, but when she hooks up its fun times...

Anyway, most newer mustangs will beat most non dohc civic's point blank, even v6 stangs. I mean I'm not a fan by any means but just because I dont like a car dont mean I will not be truthfull about it.

RE: civic vs. mustang
Just curious marty but what are you drivin?
my stang is old school, 5.0 has about $4500 worth of steeda g-trac suspension, sits 1.8 inches lower than stock has long tube headers x pipe no cats, and 3.73 gears in the back with an auburn posi unit, mostly stock internal 302, with cold air kit, MSD ignition, underdrive pulleys, electric fans no ac, griffin racing radiatior, goodyear blue nomex hoses, last time it was on the dyno was puttin 285hp and 345 tq to the wheels, hp at 4700 rpms, and tq at 4900 all that flows thru a king cobra clutch and world class t-5, fun to run the twisties with except when its wet outside...
I can bury a 05 GT with suspension mods in the twisty's and bury one in the 1/4 mile that has bolt ons and I am stock/bolt ons but then again I dont have a civic

RE: civic vs. mustang
I have a '00 V6 Mustang. Ill give you some facts just to clear you up. The slowest body style ran from '94-'98. They are slow because they were single ports, the '99-'04's are split port. Therefore faster. The V6's are 3.8 liters until '03 or '04, (im not sure) they were bumped to a 3.9. This bump resulted in a pointless 5 hp. The rating jumped from 190 crank to 195 crank hp. The '05+ V6 'Stangs are 4.0's. Im not sure the hp ratings. A stock '99-'04 V6 Mustang is good for estimated 16 second 1/4 passes. Base your question off of that.

This was a waste of a post. I believe he knew the answer but had nothing else to do. What will be next a stock Civic beating a Zonda?
