'01 Type-R

[inferno]

Unit, you make me laugh with that comment about the SCC drivers not being able to drive a Mustang. What makes you think that? Do you think all imports are FWD? Do you not know about the 500hp 300ZX that is one of the SCC project cars? Or what about the 350hp RX7? I guess the fact that they drove the Mustang faster than the factory rated 1/4 mile time doesn't give any indication of the quality of driving either.

I have seen many 5.0's run high 14's stock. Since you want to play the magazine game, in the January MM&FF in the readers rides section on page 48, the 89 GT is running mid 14's with mods, and the 86 just above it is running low 14's with modifications. I have noticed this in other magazines as well. This leads me to believe that stock vs stock, a Type R can hang with a Fox as it is also a 14 second car. And I still can't believe you can say that the stock GT handles as good as a stock Type R. That is just plain hilarious.
