There's always someone faster. Sure a $4K blower and exhaust can put a Cobra into the 11s, but at the end of the day it's still a Mustang.
People will turn and stare, wave and point as you drive by in your black GTS, and there's nothing that he can bolt onto that Mustang to accomplish that.

I agree with you Snakester. With the money he paid for the Cobra and money invested he probably could have picked up a used Viper. Which would the average person drive? Mustang or Viper.
I would prefer a Viper over a Mustang any day, unless it was a Mustang Shelby blessed with his hand.

I used to have a fast Mustang. Your ego should not be hurt. Overall performance is what counts in my book, along with looks/sex appeal of car. Acceleration, top speed, handeling quickness, total grip/traction, braking, driver feedback/feel, balance, and sex appeal is what makes an incredible car - an exotic car. And the Viper leads this pack at anywhere near $100K, hence my purchase. Anybody can build a fast, straight line car with $10K. The only category that guy had you beat was a slight acceleration advantage. The only possible competition I see is the new GT40, and time will tell on this one. The Z06 and Porsche Turbo's are nice, but lose big in sex appeal.

Someone "hit the nail on the head" above when simply comparing the 2 cars. I'd rather have a bone stock Viper in my garage any day over a Mustang! If you did just some of the most basic mods, I bet that would never happen. There's always someone faster - but you know what I mean. All that race meant was it's time for a couple upgrades buddy, that's all. It's actually good that it happened because now you know how you fare vs. some of your locals & now you know what you gotta do.

The Saleen SR looks seriously hokey-boy-racer with louvers, air dams and wings. It's no faster than the stock Viper, and at best matches it's handling performance (when it doesn't break).
And of course it costs twice as much today, and will be worth $30K in 10 years.

MC55,
I think your misinterpreting the 'sex appeal' statement. It has nothing to do with the opposite sex, but with the car itself. It is the ooohhhh, aahhhhh factor when you look at the car. It is what makes you walk around the car 10 times looking at every angle with your jaw dropped open. It is what makes you go into the garage on a cold winter's night, just to stare at the car. It is what makes you not desire any other car. Every time your tempted to cheat, and sell-purchase another car, you just spend some time looking or driving the Viper and your no longer in question. Car freaks like myself know exactly what I'm talking about. Very few cars have this allure.
I think my buddy summed it up best while we were cruising last weekend. He made this comment: "Now I know how a beautiful woman feels as she crosses the street". The car just has that special effect on people.

MC55,
Sort of... But my attention, not necessary others. For example, I stored the car during the winter months about 40 miles from my house. I would occasionally make the 2 hour trip (up-back) just to look at the car. The astetics of the car are incredible. Its the Tyra Banks/Pam Anderson/..... of styling (Note: My car has no diseases). I just look at the freak'in thing and say, WOW!!! Kinda like watching an incredibly good looking girl cross the street. You just say, WOW!!!
Therefore, I would refer to it as the "WOW"!!! factor... A.K.A. The "HOLY SH*T"!! factor. The new 2003 Viper lacks this factor, but hopefully will make up for it in performance areas. It's the Jody Foster of styling. Attractive, but doesn't make you say, "WOW!!!!".
OK, I'm done... I need help...

I wouldn't automatically dismiss a Mustang for being a slug because they are so easily and inexpensively modded.
My friend/mechanic just finished building a 650hp blown mustang with a full roll cage/tube frame and $25K of go fast and handling bits.
I'm not sure that it's a 9 second car, especially on street tires, but definitely it will run in the 10s.
Still, I'd say that these heavily modded beasts are about as rare as our Vipers. You will no doubt find them at the track, or street racing scene (if you follow that), but I'd expect to see them on the street as much as I expect to see another Viper.
Still, I wouldn't bet money on racing some innocent looking Stang, expecting that it was stock and relatively slow.

We install Vortech superchargers on two to three Mustangs a week, and the new 4.6s, especially the Cobras, respond fantastically to superchargers. We recently built up a '98 Cobra with a Vortech and an Aftercooler (air-to-water intercooler) that at the rear wheels made 520hp and 460ft/lb. torque. It sure makes a sweet noise spinning up to 7k rpm!
We'll typically see a 175-200 flywheel hp gain with the standard, non-Aftercooled kit and full exhaust (with cats) and custom chip on our dyno. Not bad for a little 4.6, eh? It's all about choosing the right parts.

Yeah, it's pretty funny reading.
I can just as easily point a thread to the Civic forum that shows how cocky the Mustang guys think they are with their smack talking as well. Putting down turbo civics that run 9s in the 1/4 mile and deserve respect. And they would also have their share of small ***** , old guy comments for the unfortunate Mustang owner who dissed their pride and joy online.
Once you cross-posted to another car forum trouble usually begins because all comments get taken out of context, and people react emotionally.
It's obvious that I hit a sensitive area here. I'd bet that the cat-calling Mustang crowd would be surprised to know that I've owned a sweet '92 5.0, 5-speed Mustang convertible since '94, and I've got a Corvette too. I own sports cars from each of the big-three, so it's not too much of a bias. The Viper is another animal altogether, and you don't know until you've owned one regardless of 1/4 mile times.
To be clear, I love all kinds of sports cars, and Mustangs have great style. But I like my Vette (getting sold) and Viper as well. Take it at that (or not).
The moderators here are pretty quick to pull nasty threads, so if a troop of irate Stang owners jumps on this forum to advise us that we don't know our heads from a hole in the ground, this thread will be zapped within minutes.

I MEAN THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO TALK ABOUT OVER THERE? NOTHING OTHER THAN, "HOW TO SABOTAGE THE VIPER BOARD?" AND WE'RE ***?

Well, I wasn't going to respond to this thread But after watching the mustang guy's post's, I couldn't resist.
I am somewhat qualified to speak about the Mustang experience as I have owned 15 to 20 of them over the years.
Two of them where in Muscle Mustangs & Fast Ford magazine One on the cover one on the inside. Also had one in Superford magazine.
Make no mistake a Mustang is great bang for the buck and can be made to go very fast. My last one was a 8.80 street car, That was 5 years ago, (They now have some going 7's)
That being said, They are not very stable over 140 mph, they don't stand out in a crowd ( they are on every corner )Not many can pull above a .98 on a skid pad (even the much touted Saleens) They don't hold their value, A stock Mustang is no match for a stock Viper, A factory supercharged Mustang is no match for a stock Viper much past the qtr mile. Don't know of any standard mich. radial tired Mustang's that have been able to run consistant mid 10 sec qtr's at 140 to 150 mph (be it supercharged, turbo or nos. In traffic a 10 second street Mustang is to say the least a little high strung. I have never seen a bone stock Mustang run 11.7's @120 mph. Owning a Mustang is like owning an F150 truck as far as owning something not everybody else has (millions of them on the road) (Vipers way less then 20,000 Worldwide.)
In summary again I'll say the Mustangs are a good bang for the buck. But, are not in the same league as the Viper ( when was the last time you saw a magazine call a Mustang a World Class Car?) A stock Mustang is a Quick Street car a stock Viper is a Fast street car and both are slow race cars.
You can mod anything and make it faster then something else but the Mustang will never be in the same class as a Viper even if you have a Mustang that will out run it in a qtr mile.....

In association with Ford SVT, we are working on a 5.0L (4.6L 4 valve, bored) Supercharged, intercooled Cobra's that will reach 500 HP easy. There will be a factory run of these cars, not sure on the volume. We are also building a "Hot Rod Lincoln LS" which will have 450HP using the same 5.0L 4 valve (might be detuned for production). Limited run.
There are sleepers out there without neon lights, slammed suspension, and 42 speakers in the trunk... A slight tweaking and these 'stock' cars have some prowess on the street.
If it weren't fopr cars like that, Dodge wouldn't be motivated to keep one step ahead. Competition has it's advantages.

3.4L advantage (8.0 - 4.6 = 3.4)
What's the big deal
a stock Viper lost to a modified Mustang, so what. Go down to your local track and you'll find dozens of modified cars what will whip a stock Viper. If you don't like losing you'll need to do one of two things 1) Modify the Viper to keep up or 2) stop racing modified cars
