Stuff sold by gram is always more exciting than stuff sold by the pound!

Under the bonnet...Toyotar. Lmao gotta love British folks.

So, yes, lets go compare a $27,995 to a $65,690 lol. Ugh, Mustang haters never cease. Anyways, it is a cool little car, and its damn fast!

SteveO · 05-05-2009, 10:56 PM

I'd rather have the Lotus, but I would have to be absent in the perspective of price however.

DIESEL · 05-05-2009, 10:58 PM

Any British car I would own would be a TVR........

Wasn't even a race if you ask me. :)

Should have used a forced induction mustang to give it a much better comparison.

"No replacement for displacement"

i agree a more comparable priced mustang should have been used. i did chuckle when he motioned the invisible "torque." I have the same engine and comparable (if not the same i don't recall) supercharger and have 0 torque. though i'm sure if mine weighed 1000lbs less it may feel significantly different.

1.8l S/C 4 cyl. vs 4.6l V8... cmon!

+1

The supercharger evens things out. No need for the Mustang to have FI.

darkstar · 05-06-2009, 01:58 AM

yep. gotta love mustang haters.

comparing a purpose built made to race 65k dollar go kart to a 27k dollar 4 seater pony car.

but hey, i like road racing my mustang. ****, ive won esp class a few times in ERSCC autox events. if you doubt mustangs can turn, your more than welcome to come to CFRC tomorrow and ill take you for a ride in mine on STREET TIRES even and prove a point to you

Well I personally I don't hate Mustangs. You know that, we've talked before.

DuckyD · 05-06-2009, 02:48 AM

I would have liked to have seen the test with the Mustang on the same tires. Then we got a comparision.

But I believe it would have been more fair to strip all the **** out that the Lotus doesn't have. I bet they ran the Mustang with a spare tire, too.

McLude · 05-06-2009, 08:43 AM

Yeah... I love this car. But running it against a plain balls GT is BS. Even the GT500 would have been a better comparo at only $43k...

Wow, this thread fails, the OP fails, buh it's just full of FAIL.

Comparing a race prepped tiny car against a bulky stock car?

Woooow

rokudan · 05-06-2009, 11:11 AM

Quite possibly one of the most retarded videos I've seen...

Woooow

What are you talking about "race prepped"? Both vehicles are unmodified and stock as they come off the dealership floors.

It's not a stupid comparison, it's a valid race - stock for stock.

With the displacement the Mustang has, you would think it could actually put the power it makes at the crank to the wheels in a better way.

Would it have been as retarted if the Mustang would have won, are you being biased?
