The thread title is 328ci Vs 2005 mustang gt under kill stories. It was posted by bimmer328ci (http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/member.php?u=54565)

Hey everyone, I saw this thread and thought that it was kinda funny because I'm pretty sure that I was the one in the 2006 Mustang GT... If they thread starter remembers correctly we both slowed down because other cars were looking at some accident on the other side of the road. You then proceeded to pull next to me when i was in 4th gear... I saw you jump so i gunned it in 4th about 45mph (about 2000RPM) (I should have been in second) we stayed even for a while then i started to pull a little around 90. I shut down around 95 and you went by me. I just think its funny that you think you beat me that easily when I started in 4th gear at 45mph (so far out of my powerband it was a joke) If i had started in second I'm positive I could have put atleast 5-6 carlengths on you to 110mph... I've got a 2006 Mustang GT 5speed manual with a Ford Racing Stinger Exhaust. I'm not trying to come in here and start a war, but I just think its BS to think you beat someone when you don't even know the circumstances of the race. To give you an idea of the gearing in my car 3rd gear goes to about 100... and 4th gear will go to about 140... I would love to have a friendly run sometime if you want so let me know.

in a race between a 328ci and a new Mustang GT...i'd definetely put my money on the Mustang GT. I hate to say it..but i'd put my money on the mustang against my car....:violinist :eatpop:

WOW! The plot thickens!

Before we go anywhere with this, let's make SURE you're the one this guy was talking about.

I'm sure you're not the only mustang GT that raced a 328ci in Cali. Come on now.

Meet up and race again! Record it too! Thats pretty sweet gearing 3rd gear to a 100mph...

Im almost positive that I was the one. He even threw on his hazards down the road when I took the 405 south and he stayed on the 101... which gave me a pretty good laugh.

To the OP. You need to realize, that delusions of grandeur come standard with the E36 BMWs. Once you accept it, you can browse this forum and stay sane. You'll still laugh your ass off sometimes, but at least you won't pull your hair out from the things that were and will be posted in here.

Does it matter? The 328 owner actually believes he beat a 2006 Mustang GT with his 190WHP.

Even if it wasn't me that he raced I really want to race this guy.

Found it. I guess he was referring to that 'race' in the post I linked to, so I am still partially right. :)

....delusions of grandeur come standard with the E36 BMWs

hah very sad but true....there really is a lot of that around here, i love my e36, but even with two more cylinders (318 - 4 cylinder duh) i dont think it would be a killer by any means

Isn't it a foregone conclusion, though, that the 318 will still be driving arounf long after the ford has rotted in the junk yard? Or is that just my biased misperception due to intense hatred of fix-or-repair-dailys?

Man, that was mean, I'm saorry...:nono

And right on schedule we have the domestic hatred.

I dont hate all domestics, just mustangs.

If I’m reading this thread right the guys said that a relatively stock E46 328ci took down a modded 06 mustang gt from a role. I hate to say it but the only way that would happen is like the op said is if he started in the wrong gear. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I've raced many modded E46 328 and haven’t lost to one yet. I’ve gone up against three mustangs. First was a 97 SVT cobra with about $11,00 put into the engine suspension and drivetrain, he gave me three lengths and had me by about five when we ran out of road. The second was a 97 GT with intake and fart can muffler I beat him. The third one was a 06 GT with x pipe and performance exhaust was a good race went from about a 10mph role and he pulled on me one car until I got to about 3500 rpm and stayed about a car away then I shifted and he pulled about two cars. And then we hit third and I shut down around 100mph he had me by at least four cars. His car sounded sweat I think that the 06 mustang could have kicked my but even more if we kept going. My car gets up and goes but up against a modified V8 just doesn’t have the HP to keep up at the higher speeds.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I’m mustang fan I own a 65. I’m installing an S/C DOHC 4.6 with T5 Trans and ford nine inch. BMW = daily driver mustang= fun car.<o:p></o:p>

Does it matter? The 328 owner actually believes he beat a 2006 Mustang GT with his 190WHP.

Yes it does matter because that would render this entire post pointless.

If you wana complain on the OTHER thread where the 328 owner posted, then do it there.

What thread is this guy referring to? One of the threads is over a year old and the other one says the guy lives in Hawaii...

alright dude, mustangs are cool and so are e36's but could you tell me why a mustang owner is a member of a bmw only forum?

you can't really blame the 328 guy because as far as he knew, you were racing. You were with him all the way to what 120-130? maybe he didn't know the specs of the Mustang? Anyway, I think we would all agree that your car is much faster but there are many people that don't know how to drive a stick. If I raced a moron in a Ferrari and he didn't know how to race it and I beat him I wold say I won because I did!

Its not his fault you didn't downshift. He probably thinks he beat the driver. If you didn't want to lose you should have not raced or you should have taken the extra 1/2 second to downshift and then smoked him. This is what happens when you get lazy or cocky.

Maybe next time you won't be so lazy.:)

Not trying to be mean at all its just the way it is.

alright dude, mustangs are cool and so are e36's but could you tell me why a mustang owner is a member of a bmw only forum?

Is this the first internet forum you have been on?

This site is about BMWs, but it doesn't state anywhere....ANYWHERE, that you have to own said brand of car to become a member and post.

Mustangs = the SUCK. Sorry but every one of them I have driven handles like pure crap. A Cobra I drove once was the only Mustang that even approached sports car handling and it still sucked for other reasons. Sorry but Mustangs aren't sports cars... they are dragsters at best. I wish Ford would focus less on putting the largest block they can find into a car and more on such minor things as weight distribution, suspension, overall vehicle weight, brakes (BRAKES, BRAKES, BRAKES), fit and finish, and other minor stuff. Then maybe I would think about calling them sports cars.

That all said, I don't believe any 3 series would be able to compete with a V8 GT (with the exception of 335i) in a straight line. However, you throw in a turn or 2 and then everything changes.

Anyone else notice you don't gain post counts by posting in this forum anymore? :D

Yes yes yes and 328s can beatr E36 M3's i remember that thread

Meet up and race again! Record it too! Thats pretty sweet gearing 3rd gear to a 100mph...

I don't know much, that's for sure. But this is what I have seen:

AAA Autoparts, Tampa, FL
Barely Used autoparts, Brandon, FL
Copher Bros. U-pull-it, Zepher Hills, FL
A-Z auto, Sarasota, FL
Big Al's auto salvage, Palmetto, FL

All junk yards I have been to scrounging for parts for my old beaters. In all those places about HALF of the entire property is dedicated to a certain make...Ford. There seem to be more of those there than on the streets. Most of them aren't wrecked. They're like washing machines.


There are usually like two bimmers in those places. Usually one that is over thirty years old, and one that has been torn in half in some kind of accident. I have a putrid loathing for that ford brand, for mechanical reasons and because of some of their dispicable corporate practices. And yes, I did own one, once, when I was young and stupid.

Oh, I'm sorry, I don't really think I have a point to make...

i would be a fun run for ya but i am all the way over on the other side of the coast.

no way in the world that the 328 would be able to stick with you. now you put you up against card counters lil 2.8 and he would beat you by 100 cls to 140mph, but he also has over 1000rwhp as well.

And my Cobra get to 119 mph in 3rd gear.

i have a question of ya bro, what do you do in the 1/4? just curious is all and is there a difference between the 98 svt cobra and the 99?

I don't care for Mustangs, or any domestics for that matter, but that doesn't mean all are useless. I surely did not like the Mustang from the mid 90's up to now. I think they did a nice job with this new one. Although, in all honesty, the best one is the 2003-2004 Cobra. It's a great car with a pretty decent suspension. That engine is bullet proof, the stock block can handle enormous power. That is one I would could live with and own. For all the hype of the new Z06, you can buy a used 2003 Cobra for like $27k, put another a little $$$$ in it (they acutally have a turbo kit for it) and make that an all-world beater.

The only 3 series that will beat the 2006 Mustang is the E46 M3, 335i, or the new V8 M3 (all in stock form of course, and straight line only). What I would like to see is an E36 M3 vs the new Mustang on a track course. The E36 is slightly slower, so it would be interesting to see if the superior handling can overcome the power deficiency.

wait you are talking about strictly stock cars right? or are you talking about modded n/a E36 M3's?

no doubt that with equal drivers and both cars being stock the E36 M3 has not a chance.

Just curious, stock for stock, on a track (course, not straight 1/4 mile) how the 2 would do. I know in the straight aways, the 06 Mustang GT would have the advantage, but I wonder if the E36 M3 would be able to overcome it in the turns. The difference between the 2 in the 1/4 mile is roughly .4 seconds, which can be made up in turns. I think the E36 would have a chance to hold it's own in that kind of scenario because the suspension setup, weight, and balance of the Mustang is going to cost it. On a pure straightline red light race, the Mustang will pull, I know that.

i have a question of ya bro, what do you do in the 1/4? just curious is all and is there a difference between the 98 svt cobra and the 99?

The best run I had was 13.5 @ 104 mph stock.

You have the shittiest looking car I have ever seen in a forum.

Since I used to own 84 320i (which I traded in on a 85 Mustang GT) I would say his sig is correct.

I think the new Mustang GT will hang pretty good and maybe even beat the E36 M3 on the road couse.

The E46 M3 on the other hand would hand the new Mustang GT it's ass on a road couse (this coming from a Mustang fan). Ford did a good job on the Stang for a base price of $25k, but it is an entry level performance car. The driver of an new Stang is going to have to upgrade the suspension and brakes if he wants to hang with the E46 M3 on a road couse.

You obviously know nothing about american muscle cars......ford in particular. The mustang GT has 4.6l engines. 281 cubic inches. THE SMALLEST displacement out of all american V8 muscle cars. They managed to squeeze 300hp out of the smallest american V8.

On a side note, It's nice to see other mustang drivers in this forum

now you know...

LOL, what arrogance, bimmers are plagued with problems; let see, cooling problems, bearing problems, sub frame..............

Other than the clutch I blew in one of my bmw's ....I never once had a problem with any of them.

Mustang owner - be happy u made somebody else day, laugh because u were stupid, as you say "i took off in fourth @ 45", my dads Buick probably would of smoked you under these circumstance and with him driving - he's 85. So as they say should of, could of, didnt.

As I said, 80's Mustangs were nice hot rods. They even came out with supercharger for them. Saleen really used to tune these babys. Especially the '87-90 Mustangs were true muscle cars. BMW and Mustangs are different breeds. Mustangs were designed to go fast straight, whereas the BMWs are designed to go curves fast. Remember, for $14K+ dollars, you can get 225 horsies back in the '80. Your main competition was the Z28/IROC and the Formula, both GM. Now of course, Chrysler really did not compete in this area except for the Charger but...

People who never owned a "Stang" really do not appreciate the simple push rod V8 with 2 valves per cylinder in the $1 per gallon days of the '80s.
You're entitled to your opinion. I disagree, however.

Well the fox bodies are just a joke. I can beat the 99-04 by about 1cl everytime. I want to race a new gt.

Does it matter? The 328 owner actually believes he beat a 2006 Mustang GT with his 190WHP.
thats funny as s:buttrock it i like my bmw but thats crazy

reading this thread makes my BRAIN hurt...

ahhhhh i can't believe i actually read all of this, but dang..

I FOR ONE am NOT a cocky 328 owner, i know my car is slow lol(ive raced trans ams, vettes, new GTOs, anything with american muscle, and gotten my ass handed to me in several fragments on all of those occasions.. i only do it for fun not because my car is fast), not as slow as a 318 though, so thats what keeps me happy!

but i definately agree with dcroghan on the last post of the first page, he makes a very good point!!



so have a great new years everyone.

As I said, 80's Mustangs were nice hot rods. They even came out with supercharger for them. Saleen really used to tune these babys. Especially the '87-90 Mustangs were true muscle cars. BMW and Mustangs are different breeds. Mustangs were designed to go fast straight, whereas the BMWs are designed to go curves fast. Remember, for $14K+ dollars, you can get 225 horsies back in the '80. Your main competition was the Z28/IROC and the Formula, both GM. Now of course, Chrysler really did not compete in this area except for the Charger but...

People who never owned a "Stang" really do not appreciate the simple push rod V8 with 2 valves per cylinder in the $1 per gallon days of the '80s.

...or that they were the last American muscle cars on which the average enthusiast could make significant power gains with relatively little $$$ and some DIY experience. With basically average mechanical experience, except for some wrenching on the POS '60s Ford V8s that were my first cars, I put a new cam, Yates heads, Kenne-Bell "roots" blower, intake, underdrives, did an AC delete, and put a new exhaust on my '86 notchback over the course of maybe a year...on a college student budget. The only thing I didn't do myself was the bore-over. Today...forget it.

As much as I love my Bimmer, a car like HiRoller's GT is always going to be gold standard for me.

Cool... you're not too far away at all... I'm actually doing a Saleen S/C over the winter...that should put me at around 450RHP with my tune. I cant waint to have my 11 second street car. I need a s/c so the car is as fast as it looks.

I have a 1993 Cobra that handles fine thru turns. It's all stock. Bimmers are fine but they are not what I would call a muscle car. They are a road and track type vehicle. Also there is quite a difference in price. It is apples and oranges.

wow never thought this topic would come back up... Just to explain against what i raced. It was an 05 mustang gt conv bone stock and i think that it was an auto... The race was in 05 so i know it wasnt an 06. We did a highway run 60-140 it was back and forth until about 120 where my car started to pull away. I know that if i raced from a stop i would have lost but from a high speed highway run i had an advantage.

I dont own the car anymore m3mobbin has it... The old specs were 190whp 200wtq with i never drove the car with a spare or jack so weight would have been pretty low i would think hovering right under 3000

Im almost positive that I was the one. He even threw on his hazards down the road when I took the 405 south and he stayed on the 101... which gave me a pretty good laugh.

Sorry i gotta say something to this... The race was in the bay area and i didnt throw on any hazards. I seriously doubt that it was my old car unless somehow i raced a 2006 gt back in early 2005 before you even could get a 06.

...and thus we arrive at 4 pages of irrelevance.

If you're anywhere near jersey, I'll take you up on that. i have a 2006 gt conv. 4.10's, tune, CAI, exhaust, .......i wouldn't bother unless you're running 12.90's or better


I thought the GTs had a hood intake as well...

Nice car. What mods?

Highway speeds are where you would get demolished.
