ok i currently have a 91 camaro with a 350 tbi, soon to be a 350 tpi, full exhaust 458 lift cam k$n filter, stock 3.23 open gears. how would that do against a basically stock 78 mustang mach 1 with a 5 speed and a 302 with a 2 bbl carb? all it has done is true duals.

 

The Mustang stands no chance at all

 

i agree completely, a guy down the street from me has a 78 mach 1 (gold with black mach stripes) its a beautiful car but its pretty slow so you should be more than fine..

 

 

that thing was the biggest joke to ever roll out of a ford production plant

 

The funny thing about that car is how much they're trying to copy the trans am. The hood decal, stripes, wheels, displacement sticker on the side of the hood scoop, etc.

Its great that it just looks like a blatant cheap imitation. I wonder if it seemed that way back in the late 70s too. Although the old trans ams had pretty much the same amount of cheesy decals, people still look at those and think they're cool, where as they look at this hunk of crap and just laugh.

 

wow, thats plenty ugly. it took me a second to realize that its a cobra on the hood facing torwards the scoop. it kinda looked like a moth or butterfly at first.

 

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. I pray to the thirdgen gods that you can beat that lmao

 

Hmmm, those front headlights look very similar to those off of a late 2nd gen Camaro. All that pin striping is quite a bit over kill on that...thing, IMO.

 

Ahh the dark years for the Mustang... About as slow as any other 70s pony car!

 

Beautiful car????? hell NO. Besides they share the same chassis as the PINTO. Complete pile no matter how you slice it.

 

Holy Crap! I've yet to see the cobra on the hood, but whatever I guess.

 

A futile attempt at glorifying a Pinto.

The by-product of the mid 70's oil crisis.

 

No way! A 78 trans am 4 speed 400 would TROUNCE that thing.

 

he said pony car, not a trans am.

 

You could probly beat him with the 305.

 

Okay a 15 or slower car... in this day and age, minivans and SUVs run those kind of numbers. It might have been faster, but nothing special at all!

 

correct me if im wrong but i do believe any T/A was considered a pony car.

 

Pony as in mustang, the horse.

 

Camaros are considered pony cars as well. Therefore it's cousin the T/A should also be considered a pony car.

 

I read the title and thought it was going to be the mustang vs a 2.5 3rdgen. this is a joke right? ever go to a mustang car show? these cars are the joke 90% of the mustang owners don't even concider it a mustang and I would not either.

yes the f-body is a "pony car" GM's product to compete with the mustang as in "the pony car war"

 

Speaking of poser muscle cars of the late 70s...All hat, no cattle.
