The 99-04 Mustang GT's are faster than the C so the 05 is defently faster as well as the GTO.
Due to the speed cap on the C the GTO and GT will take the C. Light to light racing the C will take it. My boy has a Mustang Bullet and he CAN NOT keep up with me. Once the speed cap is removed it will be a different story..99gt said:The 99-04 Mustang GT's are faster than the C so the 05 is defently faster as well as the GTO.

Not quite. My father in law runs the '05 V8 pony. At 300hp at 5750rpm and 320lbft torque at 4500rpm both my C's leave his little pony. As for GTO, it better be able to beat a C it has 400 HP at 5200! and 400lbft at 400rpmtorque and weighs almost 900 less than my C's!99gt said:The 99-04 Mustang GT's are faster than the C so the 05 is defently faster as well as the GTO.
Oh c'mon man. Did your dad get the boat-anchor hanging out of the trunk option? Who on earth believes this?Two300Cs said:Not quite. My father in law runs the '05 V8 pony.

I think it would be a driver's race between a '99-'04 Mustang and a 300C. I've never seen a stock GT into the 13s at the track - they're low 14s at best (Firebird is a slow track). Most magazines put the 300C in the low 14s.99gt said:The 99-04 Mustang GT's are faster than the C so the 05 is defently faster as well as the GTO.
I actually know people who have gotten their 5-speed manual 05 Mustang GT's to run 13.3X's. Not many, but enough to know this is not a time the 300C can match or even get close to. Best time to best time you are looking at slightly better than a half second advantage minimum.jcsganga34 said:Stock vs Stock, I don't think its going to "jump up and down on a 300C easily" (I've never driven the mustang, only going from magazine reads). I think it will most likely depend on the launch to who wins the race (when starting from a stop). Rolling, I don't have the power numbers handy but my guess is it will probably be just as close. Take them to the track and get your times plus trap speed. In the end it really doesn't matter as someone out there is always faster than either of you. Enjoy your cars as they are both nice...and I never thought I would be saying that about a Ford and a Chrysler. I used to be strictly GM until I got the C.
04's have 350hp and 05's have 400hp. 04's are good for mid 13's to low 14's (some exceptions being very low 13's). 05's are good for very low 13's to high 12's. 04's should be a drivers race with most of the wins going to the GTO. 05's should just win.Two300Cs said:Not quite.

My father in law said the same thing. Check the Ford Site out numbers are right there. http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/mustang/features/specs/#persyr74 said:Oh c'mon man. Did your dad get the boat-anchor hanging out of the trunk option? Who on earth believes this?
Any 05 Mustang GT is going to jump up and down on a 300C pretty easily, as even automatic GT's can run mid 13's! I have driven both cars and it is not even close. Recently a relative actually bought a 300C that I have driven more than once and it is impressive for what it is and I actually have far more seat time in a 300C than in a Mustang GT. I am ordeing a Mustang GT this spring and neither one of us is delusional enough to think that he will be able to outrun my car.
It is statements like these that just destroy any credibility somebody has.
