It's a good thing there was visual because he said to depress the clutch and the accelerator @ 1:10.

What makes you assume 944 owners don't know how to drive stick? Hell I'd bet more 944s came with sticks than those candy assed mustangs....

Find a BULLITT Mustang with an automatic, and you'll have a rare one indeed. (Ford didn't make any)

Lighten up, Sidney...the thread starting post was a joke...that accomplished it's purpose.

Still, isn't a Bullitt Mustang stock exhaust sounding cool?

I find the "tradition" card being played by a kid still in his teens amusing....

Still, The past was then, and this is today...

I wouldn't call the current Mustang GT's performance against the E90 M3 an ass woopin'. But the Mustang is certainly a helluvalot a' bang for the buck. But I'll take the sound of 8400 rpm trough 8 ITB's among other things any day.

Why? Because he has an appreciation for history? If he didn't, you'd call him on that instead.

You give me that GT and a few grand for track tires and wheels and that M3 would be lookin' at Rustang tail lights all day long. I could take the rest of the dough I saved on not buying a BMW and go buy a well set up 944, just to piss Paul off.

Properly sorted? Probably 5-6k.... If I had to sell mine I might get 6-6.5k out of it... But I have tickets for about 3500 of work this year alone... Fresh paint in '08, etc, etc....

I was in a 997 GT3 once as a passenger at Road America chasing a 2001 Mustang Cobra R. We simply could not pass the Mustang. I know nothing about how far from stock the Mustang was but the GT3 was bone stock.

Damn...you forgot to mention how much faster. Is there a reason for that?
