For good measure, a standard turbocharged 718 is also included.
Drag races have been held with all versions of the Mustang, modified and stock. Our colleagues at Carwow We decided to compare the Mustang Mach 1 against a Stuttgart-based sports car. A new drag race Video: The Mustang meets a Porsche Cayman GT4 GT4 and an entry level 718 Cayman. It’s an odd selection of cars, but it works. Carwow It makes perfect sense, he claims.
If you look closely at the numbers, there is a way out of this madness. The GT4 has a flat-six engine with naturally-aspirated 4.0-liters that produces 420 horsepower (309 Kilowatts) as well as 310 pound-feet (402 Newton-meters). Only a six-speed manual gearbox channels the power to the rear wheels. The car weighs in at 3,130 pounds (1.420 kg).
The Mustang Mach 1 is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 naturally aspirated motor with 460 HP (339 kW), and 390 Lb-ft (529 Nm). The manual transmission also sends power to the rear wheels. This is the strongest of the three, but it’s also the largest at 3,984 lbs (1.807 kg).
The entry-level 718 Cayman car is the only one with an automatic gearbox. It is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine with 300 horsepower (221 kW) & 280 lbft (380 Nm). It weighs in at 3,009 lbs (1.365 kg) and is the lightest drag race car.
