Would destroy my 10' Focus in the 1/4 mile  sadly I think a turbo for my car is illegal in the late great state of California, otherwise I would hop on that over PC parts I would love a mustang, with a V6 you still have power and better mileage then the v8s, then again I'm sure people whop can afford a v8 can afford the gas.

Hazman. I will wait for you to be put in your place on day by any 4 cylinder car, be it an STI, an EVO, or even an SRT4, or even a sup'd up S2k. All of those cars have the potential to destroy you. As far as you can see however, the V8 era is done quarter mile and track. Every manufacturer is trying to bring in smaller, more efficient engines to replace the gas guzzling inefficiency of an N/A engine. The saying no replacement for displacement is long gone. There's cars putting down 1k+ horse power in 4/6 cylinder cars that are much lighter than your Mustang(also the most generic car ever.) Again kids with hondas are learning and having fun. Most of them just try to zoom by, but don't call em ricers. I'd do the same if I had pos honda, I'd make it ridiculous because its ridiculous not to. I guess my point is this, if you see honda folks as ricers, I see V8 overly proud owners as stuck up folks not realizing v8's aren't end all of cars. Inb4 you thinking I own a honda, or some rice rocket, I drive a G35. Again don't judge people and categorize them, as others will do the same. Also here's a list of the world's fastest production cars by acceleration. You will see that all of those cars range between v6/i6 and v12, and most of them are not v8's.. http://en.wikipedia.org/w...n_cars_by_acceleration

OOO buddy its not kids driving Honda civics, they are soldiers driving them. Soldiers around here spend all their extra hazard pay they got while they were in Iraq or Afghanistan on their Civics. So the Civics around where I am are no where near stock so stop trying to justify to me about specs and all cause I know. Also yes they are lighter than my car I explained that earlier in a post about me racing that 540bhp civic that blew two pistons. Plus I don't race Hondas with less horsepower than me because its unfair. But sometimes I do race some with lower horsepower than me because the driver asks me if I can take a run against them even thou we all know what the outcome is. Also Why do you keep on bringing up about manufacturers making cars that are trying to save gas and all that? This is racing, so anyone that races does not care about wasting gas so don't even bring fuel efficiency in the equation. Also you cant compare standard everyday cars with racing cars. I don't know why you brought that up. If you cant offered the gas then don't race and don't get a high horsepower car. Another thing is I am not bagging an all ricers, it just Hondas. So chill out and stop getting so defensive bro. My favorite Japanese car would be Mitsubishi EVO X Lancer. I love the off road capabilities that remind me of my Ford F-150 Raptor. I like watching rally racing as well besides drag racing. Another favorite is the 24 hour race in of Lemons.

How they spend their money should be non of your concern, just like how you spend X amount on PC parts will seem dumb to the next guy, dont judge people. There is a box around you, step outside of it and see the light.

Around here big powerful V8's get their behinds handed to them all the time by high horsepower Honda Civic's.....and vice-versa. At the track this last weekend there were at least a dozen Civics running near 12 seconds all motor, another dozen turbo cars running low to mid 10's, and about 5 cars running mid 9's. These were all street cars driven to the track and look pretty much stock....the faster cars obviously swapping out for slicks for the race. The "rice" seen seems to have died off about 6-7 years ago around here. Now it's just stock looking cars that go insanely fast. There were some really fast Mustangs this weekend too. Quite a few in the 9's, and the fastest ran a 8.28 @ 167mph....twin turbo SBF. Veyron smashing acceleration...for about 1/40th the price. I love racing no matter what it is. Speed matters, not the vessel that delivers it.

Here is the video I took of the fast Mustang run. Sorry about the lighting it was getting dark. Also, this was after two rain delays, and a complete rework of that lane due to a pick-up puking oil all over the track. My two kids bottom left at beginning. With optimum conditions that car probably could have been closer to 8 flat and into the 170's.

A mustang has never beaten my M3 on a track, I normally race at VIR. I have raced an '04 SVT Cobra with an upgraded Whipple supercharger, sure they are fast in a straight line, but NEVER has a Mustang or Camaro beaten my M3 on a track, which is real world. Plain and simple, those V8's can't take the twisties whatsoever, they have so much body roll, and they just aren't track cars whatsoever. Keep them in a straight line and you'll be fine, but whats the fun in that? Last race I went to was a LeMans race at Laguna, and before that was an F1 race.

That is why I don't race in circuits. I would want my R32 to do the circuit racing(to bad I don't have that any more  ). German engineering FTW. You lucky!! You got to go to a LeMans race! Whats it like? I always wanted to go. Also I call BS on how kaninja said that Civics were able to hit 12s on all motor. Well let me rephrase that, All motor yes, But not stock motor. No way in hell that a Civic can hit 12s on a stock motor. Its more like 13.9s or 14.3s for a Civic on stock motor. Also Holo, those soldiers told me how they spent their money so stop trying to find any sort of excuses to come up with. Like I said relax nit. Your getting to emotional and defensive. Also nice video kaninja!

Lets see your M3 face either one of these Mustang and Camaro.

This is why Cobra Mustangs are Awesome! Look at this 03 Cobra beat this 03 Viper on a role. Yes it is a Viper look at the interior if you don't believe me. For those of you talking about class. This Viper is way beyond my class. This is dodges super car.

Put them on a track and Ill have a go., besides the M3 is a fast car but a luxury car as well, it will out handle any "stock" American car without any problems whatsoever, and ride comfort? Come on. I care about every day driving, because that is where I am 99% of the time, I may track my car two to three times maximum a year. And besides, ask a woman what she would rather ride in, a Ford Mustang or a BMW M3. Argument closed. But like said above, if I had to drive a Stang it would be the '03 - '04 Cobra, they are sick rides. Easily one of my favorite American cars, it is fast, period. My buddy used to have an 2010 Copperhead Viper, and yeah it was insanely fast in a straight line, but that car was flat out scary. If you grabbed 2nd in that car it got soo incredibly loose. There is no traction control on the Vipers, and I can count at least once where the BMW traction control has literally saved my life. It is incredible. In terms of engineering and the overall car, the M3 and the Mustang are not even in the same class of cars. I am not bashing Mustangs at all, I am just saying they are completely different cars, and besides American engineering can't touch German engineering. And yeah, I can tell that is a Viper, that is almost exactly how my buddys car sounds, extremely loud and not very comfortable to ride in. But damn is it fast.

Here is a picture of my buddies Viper that I was talking about above, and the picture below is a picture of my friends dad's Porsche GT3 RS. The Porsche is probably my favorite car I have ever ridden in, everything about it is absolutely mind blowing, very fast and very, very nice.

Also ya, Vipers suck with traction. Besides traction they are horrible at braking as well. Also you cant put a Mustang on a circuit track. Everyone knows Mustangs are only meant for drag racing. Heck, most all muscle cars are meant for drag racing. Of course your BMW M3 can beat a Mustang at a circuit race because it has the necessary parts for a circuit and we all know German engineering focuses more on circuit racing than drag racing. BUT we all know the ledendary FORD GT can beat it. Not a Mustang GT, the FORD GT. But of course it is not in your class range of speed because it is FORDS super car. You know the FORD GT was made to celebrate its victory against Ferrari at LeMans. Also nice pics of cars. I never really liked Porsche because they all look the same. Its like nothing new with them but different color and engine specs. Also speaking about if a woman would want to either ride in a mustang or a BMW is a false statement. Woman like clean, smell good basic cars because they just want something that can get them around. Woman tend to think that guys with sports cars are trying to be show offs which cause them to look at sports cars as unattractive. But of course woman like a sports car but you get my point right?

I dunno about that woman comment... My wife's first car for a 93 FD rx7. Then 2 350z a mini cooper s and recently went out of her way to pick out and select the GTR we purchased cause she loves and wanted one as much as I did. Oh yah... And since I met her (not that I would drive a non sports car...) refused to let me drive anything that wasnt a 2 door sports car...

I sincerely hope that a Ford GT will beat my M3, I paid around $25,000 for my M3, it is hard to find a Ford GT for under $200,000 lol. If you want to make that kind of comparison then you need to make a comparison between the Ford GT and the BMW M3-GTR... http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/bmw-m3-gtr-specialty-file ; I think the outcome will be a whole lot different. That Porsche is an amazing piece of engineering, 480bhp out of a 3.8L flat V6, that is naturally aspirated!!! That is crazy, it eats up most anything on a track. Never has a woman said anything bad about my BMW, in fact I have gotten more compliments on that car from women than any car I have ever owned.

That's a nice stang you got there man. I think if you remove the emblem off the grill and black out the headlights it would look super sleek.

Imo, the rear tires are too narrow or the rims are too wide, note the bulging bead compared to the tread width and slightly too low profile. Also needs a set of 2" eibach's. (sorry I'm being picky). Very sweet looking stanger, and I love my turbo's too  It's got that Eleanor look going....

whitnasty1 HAZMAN_THE_GREAT whitnasty1 Put them on a track and Ill have a go., besides the M3 is a fast car but a luxury car as well, it will out handle any "stock" American car without any problems whatsoever, and ride comfort? Come on. I care about every day driving, because that is where I am 99% of the time, I may track my car two to three times maximum a year. And besides, ask a woman what she would rather ride in, a Ford Mustang or a BMW M3. Argument closed. But like said above, if I had to drive a Stang it would be the '03 - '04 Cobra, they are sick rides. Easily one of my favorite American cars, it is fast, period. My buddy used to have an 2010 Copperhead Viper, and yeah it was insanely fast in a straight line, but that car was flat out scary. If you grabbed 2nd in that car it got soo incredibly loose. There is no traction control on the Vipers, and I can count at least once where the BMW traction control has literally saved my life. It is incredible. In terms of engineering and the overall car, the M3 and the Mustang are not even in the same class of cars. I am not bashing Mustangs at all, I am just saying they are completely different cars, and besides American engineering can't touch German engineering. And yeah, I can tell that is a Viper, that is almost exactly how my buddys car sounds, extremely loud and not very comfortable to ride in. But damn is it fast. The 03-04 Cobra is the sickest Mustang. I am proud to own one. Also you know back in the day around those years everyone wanted one. That is why they were called the Terminator because they beat everything in its class. Also ya, Vipers suck with traction. Besides traction they are horrible at braking as well. Also you cant put a Mustang on a circuit track. Everyone knows Mustangs are only meant for drag racing. Heck, most all muscle cars are meant for drag racing. Of course your BMW M3 can beat a Mustang at a circuit race because it has the necessary parts for a circuit and we all know German engineering focuses more on circuit racing than drag racing. BUT we all know the ledendary FORD GT can beat it. Not a Mustang GT, the FORD GT. But of course it is not in your class range of speed because it is FORDS super car. You know the FORD GT was made to celebrate its victory against Ferrari at LeMans. Also nice pics of cars. I never really liked Porsche because they all look the same. Its like nothing new with them but different color and engine specs. Also speaking about if a woman would want to either ride in a mustang or a BMW is a TRUE statement. Woman like clean, smell good basic cars because they just want something that can get them around. Woman tend to think that guys with sports cars are trying to be show offs which cause them to look at sports cars as unattractive. But of course woman like a sports car but you get my point right? I sincerely hope that a Ford GT will beat my M3, I paid around $25,000 for my M3, it is hard to find a Ford GT for under $200,000 lol. If you want to make that kind of comparison then you need to make a comparison between the Ford GT and the BMW M3-GTR... http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/bmw-m3-gtr-specialty-file ; I think the outcome will be a whole lot different. That Porsche is an amazing piece of engineering, 480bhp out of a 3.8L flat V6, that is naturally aspirated!!! That is crazy, it eats up most anything on a track. Never has a woman said anything bad about my BMW, in fact I have gotten more compliments on that car from women than any car I have ever owned. You do have a nice car. I would give you a compliment as a guy. No homo lol.  Also if you can remember what I stated earlier the FORD GT is not in your class of course. Also ya the engineering of the Porsche is nice. You got to love that German engineering once again. Every time I say that I miss my R32 Golf.  .

I mean its great while it works... but then the reliability of little things going wrong drives me crazy... which is why I Couldnt deal with my Audi S5 outside of warranty and had to trade it in...

The S5 is a great car, I have ridden in one a few times, my buddy has an S4 twin turbo, and that car was in the shop more than any other car I have ever seen, that an Audi's 1.8T engine they used in the A4. I've been pretty lucky so far with the M3, knock on wood.

I like Honda and I like Mustangs. I am a V8 person because of the family roots in working at Ford growing up. Doesn't mean that I don't like 4's or 6's because I am amazed what people can do with a 4 banger these days. Just like the deep throaty sound that my Mustang has. I still enjoy having a Honda for the fact that it is fun to drive as my everyday car but when the weekend comes, the Shelby comes out of the garage. :) Unless the weather is bad.

That is AWESOME you worked at Ford! +1 for you buddy.  Also don't get me wrong I love some 4s,and 6s as well. It just matters what car it is.
