volkswagen gti vs. mustang gtr

[0h n0 5.0]

hey i beat a daewoo the other day..

first, depending on which year this mustang was, this wasn't much of a feat. the 94-98 v6's are pos's performance wise. 145 horses outa the box, weak lil 7.5 rearend.. ain't much of a race or challenge for any other respecting inline 4 or 6 with a lighter frame. (f*ckin forget an 8) Given the Sn95's weight in comparisson to horse/torque, you raced a rock.

the 6's have come into their own with the 00-02 6's makin 199 horses stock, a bigger aftermarket for R&D for v6 products, an serious v6 performers comin out..but the 6 was never designed(OE) to be a performer. it was built to keep the platform alive because most of the mustangs sold are 6's because v8 insurance is obscene .

you met rice stang (yes there are such anomolies) usually driven by junior who wants an 8, but can't afford the insurance or dosen't possess the skills to pilot one safetly or skillfully, stomping grounds usually include drive in burger joints, movie parking lots, etc. not uncommon for ricer tips to be affixed to the one single tailpipe..

second, there is no such thing as a "GTR" mustang. this is jus a marketing fad used to either imitate the real GTR cars or make fun of the ricer fad of putting "R" on non Racer cars. the only "R" in the mustang pony corral is the firebreathing SVT Cobras produced in 93-2003, which is about as far from this clown you ran as you can possibly get.

in 95 Ford put out a limited number of stripped down GT's called GTS that had v6 stylings, but 5.0 engines with no spoilers. supposed to be a poor man's GT option (kinda like the fox body lx 5.0's) and very rare if you an find one.

the only other explanation for the "R" on this suckers car being the 94's vin production year is "R" so could be the year of the 94 car.( i thought about puttin "R" on my 94 5.0) but from his mannerisims, his styling choices and his lil attitude..sounds like you ran "rice stang" to me...

but good ricer kill
