my mustang spots a hand built 347 stroker with a 302 hardened iron block, 347 stroker forged crankshaft, forged connecting rods, and forged .30 flat top pistons,a xe268 comp cam with a .52 valve lift, an edelbrock performer rpm intake, a 650 edelbrock performer series carburator, edelbrock victor jr. heads, patriot shorty headers

i am racing this against a honda civic i dont no many specs of this car but i do know it runs at 35 psi?!?! and this guy will bet ANYTHING his car can take anything thrown at it...... give me some opinions who would win

[oneFASTmustang]

sounds like he's making 400ish hp maybe more.
not %100 on that. I know mustangs better than civics but sounds like a worthy adversary that shouldnt be taken lightly.

35 psi? its over for u my friend has a integra with a turbo and 19 psi and it runs 450 hp

[347mustang1967]

lol come on any one on my side with this one i think i can beat him

[cindys_sn95]

first, 35 psi is is unbelievable. he would have to have the dart/honda block, racing gas or alcohol, crazy axles, and lots of traction. this is silly...........

hey no need to preach to the choir. Were all on your side But like I said he is a worthy opponent.

Only one way to find out for sure

[05silverstangv6]

see if hes done a engine swap too. it be a waste to put a turbo with all that bost on just a stock civic engine it would have to have lots of internal work to hold that power hes proably over 400 hp but a fwd with over 400hp is only gona spin wheels hope they got some sticky tires to go with that sticky rice

[crittermustany]

thats gonna be one fast little ricer but hey then again its running from a pony good luck man

[cobra350]

35psi, thats allot of power

[GimpCow]

Yeah it is a lot of boost, I put 25psi into my old saturn (with the ecotec block) ended up melting the trans :P

[2Manystangs]

yeah, those jap cars are very light too, stangs have no traction, so I hate to say the civic will probably take you

[gtjoe]

I agree, 35psi is crazy for the street and it poses several questions. First, can he get traction, second, will the bottom end hold up, and third, can the guy drive. if all holds together he could be formidable.

You didn't give any details on anything you've done to increase your ability to gain traction. Also, I hope you run him at a track, not the street.

[crittermustany]

I second that on running it on the track too many people getting killed on the streets and its normally the ones who arent doing anything, be safe and whoop some ricer

I'm always a fan of muscle beating rice, but sorry to say man, looks like you might loose this one. Of course he could just be blowing a lot of smoke with saying 35psi. Just don't bet the pony!

This is how I feel too. Putting a classic Mustang against a Civic is comparing apples to oranges to be honest, or racing apples to oranges , they are two VERY different classes of cars.

Engines aside, the Civic would have much better handling, even if the Civic still had dead stock suspension and steering and your Mustang had some suspension mods.

As people said with the amount of boost he has he may have trouble gaining traction but you may have trouble too. The Mustang's rear is very light and without traction bars you may wind up with wheel hop.

I wouldn't put anything serious on the line. Alot of people may hate the ricers/tuners but you have to be realistic and realize and accept what some those guys can push out of them. Plus those cars to start with have 30+ years of suspension and steering improvements already built in.
