Yeah, the Type R had a limited-slip, but it was the only Integra to do so. The new Si has an LSD too, and I'm not even sure if one is available for the RSX Type S.

Marketing trumps actual performance numbers. Generally the only thing the Mustang does fast is sell. I'll take any comparable year Camaro SS-z28/firebird-TA over any comparable year mustang GT any probably have the better car 9 times out of 10. But the Mustang is the #1 selling performance type car of all time- go figure. The only Mustang I really like is the SVO 4 banger turbo, but I like FI.

I had a 98 mustang v6 for my first car. I love the look of that body style. One day my cousin who has a 99gt got backed into so he had a rental car for a couple days. It was a 4 door 4 banger weakest lancer ever. We went from 30 and were neck and neck the whole time. I never felt so shitty in my life! lol

FWIW my buddy had a 98 GT back when they came out. Completely stock it went 14.6X at 96mph. And he was shifting the **** out of it. Slow yes but I think right on par with the 94/95 pushrods. -Mark

14.6 for a non PI head stock mustand is pretty damn good. Very good driver I take it. Arn't alot of drivers taking them to low 15's? I havn't seen any run at the track, but the two I've raced...weren't really races. They jump, and I would pull past them in just one gear.

The late-year '98 GT 5spds ran better than the other cars because they had 3.27s instead of 3.08s (and mod-motors LOVE gear). When mine was K&N/X-pipe/exhaust with PI cams/intake manifold from a '99 GT, I'd imagine it could run bottom 14s.

According to wikipedia curb weight was 3163 . And the mustang in 98 weighed 3278 according to automotive.com But couldn't find anything about what the gearing was for the 300z as I'm sure being the power to weight ratio being about the same for both, gearing played the deciding factor.
