04 v8 stick mustang vs Marauder?

[Chayton]

I was wondering, Who would win: Marauder, Or a 04 mustang gt with the 5 speed manual? Any videos of the two racing? Sounds like a good race to me....

WIDE OPEN question that cannot be answered without a LOT more information about the mods on each vehicle and the skills of the driver.

Take it to the street and find out. :burnout:

[Chayton]

Whoops forgot to say, all stock all stock.

[Chayton]

Yeah so I really hope I could get an answer: lets say both drivers are average, and yeah all the cars are stock. I know a supercharged marauder would destroy a stock mustang, but what about just stock vs stock?

Only one way to find out. Line em up

Depends on the driver, but I've seen stock 99-04 GTs in the low 14s. A set of DRs in the stock size is all that some need to hit high 13s. I don't think that's the case in a marauder.

But, an average driver in an automatic will still pull an ok time; an average driver in a manual, not so much. Takes a lot of seat times to pull those good times...

281 Or 302?

281 Or 302?

well Its an 04. therefore its the 4.6L(281) Also, mustang driver wouldnt be very experienced at all, In fact I dont think hes ever really raced besides screwing around with his friends... But this is all hypothetically anyways :lol:

[bigmerc281]

Sorry forgot to read the stock part
They only put out around 250 hp the marauder 302 but your weight and hp ratio is bad. Run them tho and find out you would be surprised

I am gonna say Mustang GT. Ive owned both a 2000 GT and 2003 Marauder. The Marauder really needs the rpms to move from a dig hand down Mustang. Out on the open highway different story Marauder;) Coming home with the Marauder on the highway the wife pulled a car on me while I was driving the 2k Stang.

1/4 mile race the mustang would win. Top speed are both limited to about the same 120-128mph so no real winner there. The MM would need to be under 4000 lbs with driver to make it an interesting race. This is all assuming the mustang driver knows how to drive manual properly.

Even the new 3.7L V6 mustang is running times and trap speeds or better now of what the 281 2v GT (1999-2004) was doing back then.

Agreed! a stock 4,200lb mm isnt very much of a race for a 5spd mustang gt

I lined up next to a Lambo a couple weeks ago, we tied :banana2: but then again he didn't even notice me lol
