My old GTI ate mustangs all day.. 1.8t chip intake exhaust and dp.. i dont see why the audi 1.8 cant.. how much HP does the 1.8 have stock?... my GTI had 180 stock.. just wondering

 

Well, you need to clarify.

there are as many flavors of mustang as there are ice cream. There are 6cy, 8 cly, shelby, gt's, different years have different packages...etc.

So, it all depends on which mustang and year you mean. Heck, I used to have a slow as hell 4 banger mustang like 20 years ago. It was a piece O Sheet

So, you could beat a slow mustang, but a fast mustang could kill you.
I just saw a brand new shelby mustang vert the other day at my son's lacrosse game. Mustangs are way down at the bottom of my car list, but man that was a nice vehicle as far as stangs go. I bet it was real fast.

 

Not to drift off topic, but wheres the best spot to buy a bolt on, simple K04 application for a 2003 Audi 1.8T... I was looking at ATP but they seem so over priced its not funny.. should it really be $2300? I thought it could be done for less?

 

Well said! for instance you could encounter a '96 mustang GT with 215hp or you could run into an '04 Cobra with 390hp.... or you could find a v6 mustang from '94-98 with less then 170hp. 99-'04 V6's had 193hp I believe and so on. 99-04 GT's 5-speed will do 13.9 with a great driver. '94-98 GT's came with 215-225hp depending on the year and average anyware from a 14.5-15.5 quarter mile depending on engine/tranny/year. '94-95 5.0L Cobras are 240hp and capable of very high 13's at best. 96-98 4.6L Cobras are good for mid to high 13's with 305hp. 03-04 Cobras are at an underrated 390hp stock, and are good for low 13's/high 12's with a good driver.-I know i wrote probably way too much but maybe this info will clarify some things.

 

Just to clarify also... I generally stay away from late model Cobras but will take on any other Rustang. If it's a twisty road from a dead stop I'll take on the Cobras, too.
As for the K04 setup, if you buy the parts, turbo,and software separately, you can save lots of money. But you loose the ease of having a kit that you know works and all the parts are good with each other. You really should know exactly what you need and how to do it if you want to source "a la carte".

 

If I had your ride faquad, i would take on the cobra's too! (curvy road of course)

 

lol Ill race you with my 66

 

That sounds like a set-up... lol. Not a chance!!! Something tells me I'd get my *** handed to me in that case.
I'l race it if it's snowing outside, how's that?

 

I was on the freeway this past weekend.... Poor little mustang GT he tried and tried but I kept playing with him. I would give him a little jump then get on it and pass him like it was nothing.... of course it helps that I have a GTRS [sm=smiley20.gif] I tell you the turbo doesnt feel that fast but when you get on it your up to 100 in no time...
