VIBE VS. MUSTANG

[cp_stunna_2011]

yeah within the past week i have seen two vibes that have the full gm kit, and weirdly they were both the same color as yours.....everyone has their own opinion. i like the fact that with the GM kit you dont have to change the 03-04 front which i love, but i also like the full body kits becasue they wrap around all the way, and fully replace both front and rear bumpers, which i like.

There is only one body kit for the vibe, but it is sold under a few different names, if I am not mistaking. In my opinion it looks too overdone. The gm kit flows so much better than the aftermarket one IMO.

it's a 96 v6 mustang, enough said. my stock maxx would eat that thing for breakfast while the kids watch a dvd in the back seat, but who cares?just be satisfied in the fact that the guy is driving a car worth what? maybe $2500?let's also not forget the 17 second quarter mile that POS would probably blaze through.

Your Vibe is making +/-110HP @ the wheels. It weighs +/-2700 lbs. or +/-24.5 lbs/HP. If your 'stang #'s are correct at 145HP @ the wheels, then the 'stang would need to weigh 3560 lbs to have a weight-to-power ratio equivalent to your Vibe. Does a '96 V6 'stang weigh 3560 lbs?.......I don't know but that sure seems heavy for a 'stang. All other things being equal, if the 'stang's weight-to-power ratio is lower than the Vibe, then mathematically, the V6 'stang will kick the Vibe's but.

my numbers and dyno for it are right off of a forum sight like this one so im pretty sure they are correct. and it is a nasty stang its truley a poorly puit together car, i mean his body kit is bondoed ( SP ) onto it (no new paint over it) and every piece3 of fiberglass is cracked....my vibe runs lie a top, his not so much....i should be able to do a better quarter mil than HIS mustang, and its a 1994 vs 2003

Truly there's only one way to find out.... race him. If you win you win... you loose, well, then he'll rub that in your face too.Buy my bike, you'll get all the girls you can handle and it will out perform any car you "buddy" gets.

no races, not gunna happen, i will get him with performance and looks, and possibly how fast i can go in the 1/4 mile....has anyone tested their vibe in the 1/4 mile yet? and he is fat as hell so he aint gettin nothing lol haha girls hate him.

What's the weight of the 'stang? Quit guessing, do the math....divide the weight by 145.

Ok I will just tell you. You will lose. Not by much, but you will. End of story. He also has 215 lb ft of tourque, and his car is only about 200 lbs heavier than yours.

[cp_stunna_2011]

noo, i got bigger plans for the vibe than what it already has, like exhaust, throttle body, and unichip, and somehwere in between a body kit and paintjob. by that time he will have over 200 thousand miles and nothing done to it, im not looking to win right now, in about a year i will be. and then in two if i still have it it will get a turbo.
