Mustang VS 2.5 mx3 -- New comparison
A popular topic of "will a mx3 with a... beat a mustang gt?"
According to this post mustang details
A 2000 Mustang GT with a 4.6 and some small mods ran a 14.8 et with 248 rwhp.
I am sure there are plenty gt's that are faster/slower with mods and drivers but with this particular one it would close to a mx3 with a 2.5.
Later that night... Just so I am not biased, here is one that could beat a modded mx3.

Re: Mustang VS 2.5 mx3 -- New comparison
considering a 15% drivetrain loss, it sits at about 221whp stock. v8's respond better to breathing mods than smaller discplacement motors, so it's quite possible he picked up 20whp by freeing up the intake and exhaust. and going off his site, he's claiming 241whp, not 248.

Re: Mustang VS 2.5 mx3 -- New comparison
well thats funny because the same year mustange with the 5 in it only puts down 200hp to the wheals stock and i have the dyno some were on tape. For all the people that watch horse power tv know what im talking about they dyno mustanges all the time and yes the small simple air mods make lots of power on the those motor but the 4.6 almost stock putting more power out then the bigger 5

Re: Mustang VS 2.5 mx3 -- New comparison
a '95 5.0 puts out about 215hp to the crank, whereas the modular 4.6 gt puts out about 260hp to the crank. est 15% drivetrain loss puts you at about 183 and 221whp.

Re: Mustang VS 2.5 mx3 -- New comparison
A ZE'd MX-3 will beat any stock Mustang GT except for 2000+. The newer 4.6L engines came with a different head that gave them 260hp compared to the old head that was getting that same engine low 200s.

Re: Mustang VS 2.5 mx3 -- New comparison
not true. rsx type-s have been known to put down around 180whp with a ecu remap and about 200whp with bolt ons and a hondata remap. but hey, this isnt about rsx's i just didnt want you to get the misconception that cuz its bigger it will respond to mods better.Originally posted by OsoSlo z28:
