1)You not gonna break the axles on a stang unless your really hauling ***. On a street car, don't even worry about it. 2)The slight gearing advantage that the V-6 has is not match for the extra torque and power of a V-8, sorry. The GT will win in the 1/4. Also on a side, many new GT's come with 3.27 gears. 3)I find is odd that your friend would fix the rear axles of CRX's after they broke them.....considering that CRX's are front wheel drive.

LOL Tireburner i was getting ready to flame this guy myself but i see you took care of that even using his own torque #'s he should be able to realize that it wouldn't be much of a race i personally raced a '96 v6 5-speed against my bone stock '91 lx convetible with an aod with 2.73 gears and dusted his arse 4 times especially off the line the v6 just doesn't have the torque.

(stupider) WTF?is that a word?? i think your even less likely to break a drivshaft than a stock axle. and it's not like a crx has a solid axles it's a freakin cv axle something totally different i'm stopping now i feel the flames arising.

First of all.....trying using proper english and I would have a much easier time reading your posts. Capital leters at the start of sentences and periods help, maybe even a comma here and there. Keep it up and I'm gonna start reposting your posts for you with proper grammer and english.
Other thing, there is no such thing as a GTS, not anymore. They where made in 95 and only a few where made, they were no faster or slower than a regular 95 GT's. Yes a axle can snap on a car.....I never said it couldn't.....but your not gonna break the axles on a street driven stang, so it's not worth worrying about. You would have to be making some serious power and be on slicks to snap them. CRX's and other front wheel drive cars will snap the hell out of some half-shafts because they are not solid, they have a joint in them....that's where they break. The slight weight difference is out weighted by the extra grunt of the V-8. Lets talk track times. A new V-6 is a mid-high 15 second car. The new GT's are high 13-low 14 second cars. That's a 2 second difference, a *** WHOOPING. At least 10-15 cars. As I have said.....please be informed of the subject before a disscussion. I refuse to fight a battle of knowlege with a unarmed person.

I'm not talkin Harvard here, just periods. Not one huge sentence.
All I know is that if you believe that a V-6 Mustang will win off the line because it has 3.27 gears and the GT has 2.73 gears, your a F'in RETARD!!!

Tireburner is right. A V-8 with similar HP numbers will always smoke a smaller engine unless there is something wrong with it. I said it first in this thread and I will say it again. Having more cylinders and a higher displacement counts in a big way. HP alone does not tell you anything.
Plus, there is one other thing you are missing. Just becuase GTs have higher rear axle ratios doesn't mean their gear ratio overall is higher. Both auto and manual tranny's in GTs are different than the tranny's used in the 3.8's. The tranny's in a 3.8 have a different gear ratio than the tranny's in a GT, hence the need for a different rear axle ratio. So the final drive ratio is different between the 2 and the rear gears are tuned to the specific tranny and engine combo in the car. Rear gears are only 1 part of the equation. You have to take the whole drive train into account, not just 1 component to determine the final drive ratio at the rear wheels. One more thing - who would trust a guy who is so ignorant they even admit "I aint good at english or proper stuff anyways". Obviously, he doesn't know s^!t about cars either. Hey look, I know how to use commas, periods, and caps.

In the end it comes down to the diver. I know a guy that has 475 HP rearwheel in a 1995 GT. He runs a 14.6 in the quarter. He also put nitrous on it a shot of 115hp NOS. And not any better.
Other people have gotten it in 12's. So the moral of the story is yes a v6 can beat a v8. As long as a v8 has a sucky driver. My friend was drving my Piece of S*** car at the local strip and raced a Chevy V8 and beat it. I THINK the chevy was like a 80 something cutluss or somehthing like that. It was no camero or vette (HAHA) but it was still an 8. So who ever says a V6 can not beat a V8 on the track I seen it done.

I thought this discussuin was about which CAR would be faster. The V-8 will smoke the V-6 any day. Sure, if the V-8 driver is asleep, the planets are in perfect alignment, etc., etc., then yes, maybe a 3.8 could win. But the V-8 is still the faster CAR and should never lose with a decent driver. We can debate all day about what conditions a V-6 could beat a V-8, but the bottom line is that under normal conditions, the V-8 would win hands down.
