No offense, but this debate is pointless. You can pretty much put whatever engine you want in either car if you have the budget. But in the end, the e30 most likely will be better on the track, have the most options available as far as engine swap, and still be a whoooole lot less expensive. A hooked up e30 would cost you less than buying the stock mustang. So, even if you do see an '06 mustang that can hang with a tuned e30, the dope driving the mustang still spent 3 times as much. So... I'd say the e30 is the smarter way to go.

That and the main thing is a stock mustang is incredibly lame and boring.

Point is, dude said he didn't think an E30 could beat a late model Mustang. I posted an E30 that could.

I don't see how a 500hp V10 versus a twin turbo V10 is anywhere close to fair, either.

Just as ridiculous as a $100k S85 E30 vs. a stock Mustang.

Anyway, it seems stock 5th gen GTs run mid to low 14s, so it won't be THAT hard to take one from a roll, but they are built to get up and go off the line, whereas E30s are definitely not.
