Back for the OP...I have a friend with a 2000 v6 automatic stang, and my 96 ex coupe with i/h/e will beat his in a straight line. Granted it all depends on drivers and all that crap, but against a 96-00 or whatever year those stangs were, the auto six is not fast at all.

 

I would say yes to a 94-98 V6 stang for certain.I raced one about2 years ago from 30-110. I led the whole way. Don't know if it was auto or manual...

 

even those can run pretty well with bolt ons. Although the automatics are complete dogs bonestock. 130hp is just too little for a mustang or any type of muscle car.

And while we're on the topic of civic to V6 mustang performance. I dont suppose anyone here saw the last FordV6 performance challenge.

The winner has a built 94-98 style V6 mustang running 10.1 in the 1/4. Thats same guy now has it in the 9s.

and an NA V6 built to do high 11s.

 

Should probably be a lil more specific with the topic but if we are talking about a STOCK civic and a STOCK mustang, I think that the mustang would definitely take off faster. Now when we start talking about different modd scenarios then thats where the civic would have a shot.

 

My friend had a 1997 Auto Stang and thought he was the **** and thought every one on the street was trying to race him

 

but the cost/performance ratio still favors the mustang by alot.

 

I would really like to know what kind of mustang has a 3.2L in it. Would it be the Mustang GTR, or Gts-T? I'm not sure...

The more common stock mustangs (85+) only came in
2.3L, 2.3L turbo,3.8L, 4.0L, 5.0L, 5.4L, 5.8L

 

you remember the 95' cobra R motor, but forget the 4.6L? interesting.

 

I forgot the ford modular v8... hahaha Gotta love the cop car engines.

...woops [&:]

 

uhm, the 5.4 is modular as well.
