Toyota Is Amazing

Toyota Is Amazing

i have an 01 corolla CE, stick. My friend recently got a 94 mustang 3.8, and ever since then iv been spaking him everywhere. I'm impressed with my corolla.

Those old mustangs are slow though, heh... someone I knew had a 95 3.8 V6 automatic and in a race up to about 140kmh, he would only pull about half a car length on my 94 Corolla 3 Speed automatic...

Any mods or plans for your car?

there is either something wrong with your buddys Mustang, or he can't drive


and I think this is in the wrong section

Probably nothing wrong with the mustang, the mid 90s V6 models we're really slow, heh...

The 3.8 V6 mustang didn't have anything on the 3400 series 3.4 in my '96 Firebird either. V6 mustangs are not speedy...AT ALL.

mustangs r slow and heavy

me 2 i raced him again, 2day and i smoked him by over 2 cars. i told him to get the 5.0 but his parents said he would kill himself with that. im kinda glad cuz i beat him.

1994 Ford Mustang Base

Engine: 3.8 Liter V6 - 145hp @ 4000rpm
Weight: 3065lbs

Power/Weight Ratio: 21.14lbs / hp



2001 Toyota Corolla CE

Engine: 1.8 Liter I4 / 125hp @ 5800rpm
Weight: 2410lbs

Power/Weight Ratio: 19.28lbs / hp



Of course there are other factors when considering comparing any vehicles for speed related purposes, such as gearing, cD (coefficient of drag), power/torque spreads, etc... but power/weight is usually a pretty decent indicator, and as you can see, the Corolla has it all over the Mustang V6... heh...

yea but he's got 215 tq????
And also the mustang had 2 more points on the power/weight differential???

You should see how teh old 5.0's perform. Ford engineers were able to squeeze a whopping 200HP out of only 5.0Liters. geneous! But you have to admit, Ford's engineering have gotten bette over the last few years, ever since they hired Hau Thai-Tang as their chief engineer.

WE definately win one category compared to them MPG!!!!

The lower the number, the better... its basically how many lbs of car there is for each hp, the less lbs = teh better, heh

^technically you mean weight/power, he mighta been confused.

My friend's got a 2003 Stang V6 w/ auto tranny. Pretty damn quick, but then again it's newer and has 193 hp and 225 ft/lbs. He always leaves me in the dust, except around hard turns (my rolla's lowered). And I like the fact that it's RWD. Even though it has traction control, you can turn it off

The thing with the V6 Mustangs is that the redline on the tach is waaay too conservative. I think it's ~5500, but most people with a 5-speed shift around 6200/6300. When you're in an auto tranny car you can tell, too, because there's a surge of power that comes on just before it shifts into the next gear.

Reving!!!!!!!!!!

his 94 v6
1st gear 35mph
2nd gear 54mph

this is redline.
when we race, he hits 70mph 2nd gear , i think at around 6200.

What's the most i can rev mine at, cuz im dying 2 hit 60mph in 2nd gear, but its always around 55, 56mph????
