My friend has a 96 Mustang GT its got exhaust but other than that it is stock and i have a96 thunderbird. Its all stock everything on it. It has about 230,000 miles on the thunderbird and the Gt has alot less than a 100,000. I was wondering who do yall think will win. It keeps saying he would kill me but from what i heard those cars only put about 170-180 to the wheels. so what do yall think? Thanks for the info.
96 mustang beat a 96 thunderbird?

You got a V6 or V8? Either way, the Mustang would beat ya. You have to remember our cars weigh near 4000lbs compared to the mustang's near 3600. btw, a 94-97 thunderbird v8 only puts down about 170-180 at the wheels as well. factor in an extra 400lbs, and there's your answer.

Hey I live near you in Gun Barrell I sometimes go up to Cedar creek drag strip. You might have seen my Bird its a Blue 5.0. Ask that stang to come up to the track and lets see what he got.Jon03Cobra said:
No I havent seen around. What year is your bird? My just a daily driver stock and I never really race it. Question about 96 LX rearend is it really easy to break? So what kind of mods do you have on yours? ;-)
Here is some info on my Bird http://www.tccoa.com/rides/manjam.shtml
I don't think the rearends are weak unless your adding more than 400hp.

So what does that car dyno?

that mustang will beat your bird. they have pretty much the same motor but the mustang has a big weight advantage. the bird should run mid-high 15's. that mustang should run high 14's. the 96 rear end is not week. they can take a beating. in my 97 i was running 4.10 gears and a 75 shot of nitrous without any extra bracing or anything. you can do a few cheap mods to the 4.6 birds and they will be a nice little sleeper. i want to get another one eventually for my daily driver/sleeper.

well...
I once lined up against a 96-98 GT, with Flowmasters and a BBK Fenderwell CAI. Needless to say, he thought he could prolly beat my lard ass Thunderbird...
Low and behold, I had a .55 second (Yes, half a second) margin of win on his ass..
This was done with my LX. See, its NOT IMPOSSIBLE....

i also took out lots of 96-98 gt's in my thunderbird after some bolt ons. after a small shot of nitrous i could take out a lot of 99-04 gt's too. but like i said, both cars in stock trim with equal drivers, the mustang will win, no questions asked.
