Default 97 DOHC neon vs. 96 mustang gt

I was jus wondering if i could take a stock atx mustang gt w/ my DOHC.....I look at the stats for this car and it only puts out 215hp.....also the quarter mile times are about the same.

my friend kept up with a 98/99 GT (we know this guy by the way) in his EG6
and i beat his EG6 by 3-4 car lenghts


it's up to the driver
launch good and know your shift points

it doesn't hurt to try!

power to weight....the mustang has you....especially if it's an auto and he just floors it....stick...you have the chance of him mis-shifting

power to weight?

mustangs weight 3k
neons weight 2300

that mustang probably has a little over 200hp
and the dohc has 150

yea it has more horsepower
but it weights a crap load

but like someone state above
they have nearly the same quarter mile

just race hte guy and tell us how it ends up

I am not sure what Model Mustang was on the Track at the time - but I started at the back of the pack and passed 2 Mustangs about 10 laps into the race with my stock Neon.
