who faster?

I was at the ford dealership with my friend and a dealer passed by my parked C32 and told his client that a 2005 mustang GT is just as fast, if not faster than the C32, any truth to that? curious, tommy

Haha the new GT is a low 14 second car MAYBE 13.8ish if the guy can really drive a stick.. I've heard of STOCK C32s pulling off 12.8 with only street radials.

If I remember right, my MotorTrend reveiw of the of the new Mustang got 5.1 seconds to 60 and low 14's in the 1/4 mile.

The C32 should definitely have no problems with the new Ford GT.

I assume you mean the Mustang cause a Ford GT would be gone before a C32 got out of 2nd.

The only truth to that statement is that he was buII****ting his client to sell the Ford.

It has been proven in many magazines.

Both cars are roughly the same weight. And the C32 has a 49hp advantage.
The C32 is faster. Simple mathmatics.

Erm, you guys ever heard of going to the periodical stand and picking up a magazine? Look at the specs, 0-60s yada yada etc etc?

If that isn't enough, try putting the 32 to the test with a mustang nearest you?

2004 Capri Blue C32
I raced a Mustang GT from 1 stop light to the next--enough to get out of 2nd gear and into 3rd before we had to stop again. It was close through the first 2 gears (I was ahead by less than 1/2 car length), but as soon as I hit 3rd I pulled away easily. Of course, the other driver was totally pissed off, but he was the one who challenged me. I even had a passenger and lots of crap in the trunk, and he was alone. Oh well......I just smiled and drove off as he took a left turn at the light.
