IF YOU HAVE THE SKILLS TO DO A HIGH RPM CLUTCH DROP!!! its hard!!!
otherwise no chance.
"take it to the twisties" lol

you should beat the stang easily if you can do the clutch drop, if you just start it normally it might be close, but advantage still to you.
or "take it to the twisties" where not even Chuck Norris can beat you.

I think saw a new Mustang on the Speed Channel run about a 14.6 I think. Guessing that was the V6 cuz the GT runs 13's. Probably just a hair quicker in the 1/4 mile but I'm sure it doesnt feel quicker.
EDIT: Just read up a little on the V6 Mustang times. Apparently they are running mid to high 15's so I don't know what I saw on Speed. Why would you care? Neither are made for straight line speed.

Tips for the new guy:
1) Street racing is highly frowned upon in this forum. Such discussions are prohibited.
2) The RX-8 is a poor straight-line performer - at a drag event you'd loose to just about anything. Such discussions are discouraged or at least mocked openly.
3) The RX-8 has been compared against everything from Alpha Romeos to Volvos again and again on this forum. The RX-8 vs. Mustang discussion goes on and on - search for relevant threads.
4) Bringing up subjects that have been discussed to death typically yields sarcasm and multiple caustic comments. It's better to find an existing thread which discussed the same old idea and add a new thought as a reply.

1/4 Mile:
RX8=14.58 (Best I've heard of stock)
6th Gen. Maxima=14.9
V6 Stang=15.7
So yeah, you could probably beat the Maxima provided you made a perfect run, but who cares? It's a 4 door family sedan.
(My psycic powers tell me this thread will close very soon.)

wtf is up with all these vs threads, do people honestly want to know the outcome, or do they just wanna hear THEIR car is better than everything else and they are a super genius for picking it out?
