Default Mustangs can't win Nothing!!!

I jumped in with KFC_or_Bust and took his rental down to Mexico, mobbing 3 deep... and then we saw a Mustang race a GTI.

5.0: Bolt ons, unknown HP
BE GTI: Stock turbo, bolt ons.

Did the mustang pull back toward the end? Either way that's a quick little golf

No, but he kept going to make it seem less of a gap!

5.0 could have just been a bad driver or not a good tune

ok now I have to chime in. I was driving home last week in the V wagon (sold it btw) on bw8 cruising around 80 ish (light traffic). I pull along and slowly pass a 2016 vw turbo r 400. He immediately pulls right behind me passes the car that was in front of him and gets next to me. I drop down to 50 (2nd gear paddle shift) and we count it off. Low and behold that little ****** actually put about a car on me by 110 but after that it was pretty much over for him. We ran a bunch of times from 45 ish to 145 ish and he was never more than 2 cars behind me. My V made 672 to the ground and 637 tq. I was absolutely blown away and could not believe the fight he put up. Yes it was obviously a bolt on tuned car but Jeez louise it impressed the crap out of me. So in the 5.0's defense that might not had been a horrible loss. keep in mind those things are all wheel drive too. I would not mind having one to toy around with, **** thinking about ditching my 15 evo and getting one myself lol.

That's awesome man! I run with a bunch of guys that have cars I wouldn't give a second look at, but surprised the hell out of me. I like seeing cars like this that no one expects it from.

This is no R, or anything special... it's a plain Jane GTI mid 200UP from factory. Mustangs are just ****... good attempt at trying to give credit.

They seem to run good with bolt ons but I have yet to run into one that was even remotely as quick as this sounds.
