Ok so my friends and I were having a debate on this topic some time ago. My mate is a through n through Mustangs man and brought up the fact that the new Mustang could beat the R35 GTR in both quarter mile and circuit. Me being a Nissans man, totally objected to this and so the debate began...

In all the discussion other mates started joining into the conversation although they weren't on my side. It got to a point where it actually started to get heated, LOL.

Anyways they were saying how Nissans are shit and the Mustang could totally crap on the GTR and blah blah blah, one of them actually even said "In Tokyo Drift the guy won the race in his Mustang against that Asian guy driving the 350Z",my son of rajab he failed so bad when I told him the Mustang had a RB26DETT from a GTR haha.

So whaddaya guys think? 2010 Mustang or GTR?

If any one brings up a fictional movie such as fast and the furious to bring their point across about a particular car that is so far from relevent it aint even funny, is an idiot.

Your friends are idiots and know nothing about cars. How old are they?

Gtr all the way. But unfortunatly when I looked into the cars in tokyo drift for the racing scenes they did use the v8 mustang engine because the rb26 just didn't have the low end needed. Looked good for the movie though

Not that I want to take this down the road of a Tokyo Drift discussion, but Rhys Millen commented on numerous occasions what a pig the Mustang was to drive and that the best car out of the lot to drift was the RWD converted EVO.

Also obviously they wouldn't use the RB26 Mustang in the racing scenes. That car was simply used for all the still shots since it was a unique car and the stunt cars used for all the driving and crashing were V8 powered.

Hence in all the Fast and Furious movies you see mistakes such as cars looking different from scene to scene (ie the second one the R34 GTR was used for all the still shots and R34 GTT's were used for a lot of the racing scenes and you notice it due to pedals going from rubber to aluminium in different scenes).

This is because they need multiple copies of each car in case they write one off or when they need to damage it. They have one "pretty" car with all the mods on it that they use for the still shots and then copies that usually aren't the real deal (like the GTT playing the GTR role) that they can afford to wreck.

Any way back on topic; your friends are idiots.

I think your friend is a moron and even associating with him may make you dumber :D

2011 Mustang GT 1/4 mile 12.8s

2008 Nissan GTR 1/4 mile 11.5s

Willow Springs Raceway, USA

2011 Mustang GT 1:37.60

2008 Nissan GTR 1:31.23

And Willow Springs is a power circut with long sweeping bends not tight corners.

I was expecting the Mustang to be faster down the drags... I mean isn't this what its designed for?

You'd be surprised how well American sports cars handle these days. But the Mustang GT and R35 are not direct market competitors...I'm pretty sure the latter is over twice the price of the former.

+1

Most of the New American sports cars are pretty good handling wise; gone are the day when there were just considered to be cheap, straight line heros... just take a look at the Covette ZR1 burning the R35 GTR on the Nurburgring !!!! and any of the Cadillac CTS V series

But sadly Mustang was not one of those cars.. ; even the new iteration i think is preety basic suspension wise

Can i ask;why on earth would anyone compare GTR Vs Mustang; there just so so so so different Cars ;)

The ACR Viper (which holds a faster lap time than the ZR1) surprises me more than any of them...it is still a truck engine in a chassis that is designed to be offensively sexy. That's a tough base to build anything functional upon. When I was a kid, these cars had a reputation for handling like a tractor!

That was including the refill at the petrol station half way round too!

set of sticky tyres and it would be. bet you can nearly buy all 4 standard tyres for the mustang for the price of 1 tyre for the GTR. this is why there is little point going off times of stock cars run by either car companies or even car mags. unless they fit the same tyres to both cars, it isn't really a true indication of the cars performance.

they had 11 dummy r34's in that movie which i believe they totalled.

looking at the fordfourums.com the mustang engine fitted with a supercharger is realing off approx 325rwkw. This is in the current ford GT, which is a family 4 dr. With a mild tune it gets 355rwkw. Put this in the mustang and the engine will match the R35s, but not much else.

... and then it's not a stock car anymore.

Sure, if the manufacturer offers (for example) different tyre options test it with the best of them.

If you're going to permit nonstandard modification to the stock platform, why stop at tyres?

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
