at the crank, you have 8 less hp, but 4 more ft/lbs of torque; this isnt a big deal, so both cars are pretty much the same at the crank. the two cars are almost equal in weight. but his is a manual, where yours is a auto. this is where he will probably edge you out. it will really depend on the driver. he is probably around ur age (15) so he shouldnt have any manual driving experience, so you should win. just my $.02. o yea, but dont race til you have driven your car and know EVERYTHING about it. |

My money would be on the Volvo, but I wouldn't put much money on it. It's worth a race, for sure.

Here is the quote of the day. Based on your limited experience driving, do not even think about racing anyone until you have a good bit of time seat time.
A V6 mustang isn't a torque monster, but with only mere months experience driving, it can be a very lethal toy and change your life forever. No fast n furious stuff...

You will get walked on the top end of the power band.
I raced a stock one when I had my old tune/intake/exhaust and I got him out of the hole but was quickly passed on the top end.
He now has cams/bov/full exhaust/full intake/computer upgrades.
It's a damn quick car now.

ehh, idk, i looked up both cars. the stang has a little less hp, but a little more torque. and both cars are said to weigh within 10 lbs or so of each other. so not sure either will walk eachother. probably just a dead even race. but depending on who gets the jump first.....who knows..... |
