6G Celicas Forums

I absolutely love how much smack is talked by people owning sub 100whp cars.

i had a 3rd gen eclipse rs say he smokes Zs all day long.....poor fools

okay thanks everyone.. for your opinions...and the smack. i know the stang isn't as reliable as the celica, but hey, im 18, i've loved the stangs since i was born, and i just couldn't afford a low mileage celica. it may have been a decision that will come back to bite me in the ass but w/e.. i probably will get a celica gt if i can't get a v8 stang next. celica will be the winter car. (FWD.) anyway. we can end this article now.

No smack intended to your car bro. Sorry if I came accross that way. Just sharing my opinion based on fact of my moms car - perhaps she got a lemon?
To you who think they can't beat a v6 mustang: Maybe you should learn how to drive your car better [supersprint not included - you got a swapped car and can undoubtedly drive it].

Don't know what your talkin about. What video? I have never hit my brother nor has he hit me.

i have raced several mustang v6's in my celica ST before i turbo'd it, and i never lost to one

see?

yah... my friend has a purple (lol) 97 mustang v6. that thing is sh**in' slow never bothered to race it, becuase i'd probably own him.

well i must have the slowest celica gt ever built because i have a budy with a 2000 mustang v6 and i get him off the line but as soon as i hit third i just watch him drive past me so unless your only racing to like 50 my celica must have just been sold to me slower (thats sarcasm)

I Agree that the v6 mustang is not fast and not very well built. Its bulky, heavy, and whiney(motor/tranny wise). Maybe its just the ones ive driven but you need to sink s**t loads of money into that car to make it a monster.

I have a gt and i always thought that a mustang v6 would take me but i guess not ill just have to go out and race one this weekend since i got wires, header, intake, and straight exhaust

1999 Ford Mustang Convertible V6 8.6 16.50

1994 Toyota Celica GT Coupe 8.5 16.40


keep in mind, the first stat is for the convertible model, so the coupe could easily do 0-60 .2 sec faster or so.

also, keep in mind, these results are subjective. Results may differ from other sites.

from these stats, it seems to be a toss up. However, the st statistically should not win. So, if you're an st and your winning, it's because the mustang is either an auto or a terrible driver. I think it would be hard for me to **** up a race with an st if I'm in a 99-04 stang. even if it's a v6.

and Migga, turn off the caps, you know that's ****ing annoying.

oh, and I have personally lost to a v6 stang in my gt hatch. Wahhhh

i got a buddy of mine his whole family drives stangs. all with cobra r rims all nice as hell. hes had a 90, 94, and now a 98 vert. dad 95 vert, mom 01. the 94 coupe was by far the fastest till the motor blew at 130k. i think there great cars you just cant beat on them like you can a toy.

well, consumerguide.com says that 1994-2004 mustang V6's had 145-190 hp... it doesn't say which ones had 145 and which had 190, but if I were to guess, I'd say that they had 145 before they were given a bit of a facelift (2000?) and 190 after. and the car weighs like 600 punds more (even more for a convertible)

So I think it's fair to say a GT could beat a pre-facelift mustang V6 fairly easily. as for ST... maybe not...

YES A 5-speed ST CAN beat a v6 mustang!!

yeah i beat a 1999 v6 mustang form a red light, i mean there nice cars and all, just wasnt as fast as a 98 gt

i raced one in my st..the mustang was a 94 automatic..and was winning untill squezzed me so much that i a had to stop cuz he tried to run me off the road..mustang drivers are way to cocky about their cars...

yes, I never ruled it out. especially if the celi was manual and the stang was auto.
