I think it might have had something to do with corner acceleration, bear in mind this wasn't a drag race, but I accelerated off the corner before he did and I walked right on around him until we both hit our 98 mph limiters (my speedometer is slow by 2mph, so I was really running 100 and he was running 98)

not every mustang is fast please take this into consideration everyone. a 1999 v-6 mustang w/ auto runs an 8.6 0-60 and 16.5 1/4 mile time these are not fast times.everyone gets freaked out when they hear mustang o boy it must be fast

EuroGold, with all that extra weight in the back with the 4subs and everything to run them it probably evened up the race a little, plus driver skill was probably a big factor in that. I have never raced anything in the Blazer (sucks too much gas, too most likely lose).
I did beat a 5.0L 99-04 vody style Mustang in my 1994 Taurus SHO, but the mustang was stock and I had a K&N dropin filter, and new upgraded MAF sensor and upgraded air intake/throttlebody stuff. (Unfortunately the SHO was a Auto but I was pushing 250hp). He barely beat me off the line but then I caught up in a 1/4 mile run on the street. I loved that car but not quite as much as the Blazer now (offroading and practicality  )

v6 mustangs suck.....
on a 75shot with pullies i had a hard time with 2v 4.6 mustangs that where lightly modded.....
i have mustang friends who talk ****.. until i spank them...... but im also turbo'd on drag radials..... and then i have mustang friends who have there own turbo(s) s/c or spray and 500+whp and i just sit down put my tail between my legs.
i can take the new lightly modded GT's.... (I/E/H/T)
and now pretty heavily modded 2v 4.6GT's
and so far i have beaten both mach1's i have run from a dig but from a roll the mach's pull on me a little.

im a HUGE fan of the foxy body mustangs and have been come a mustang enthusiast. I have owned a mustang and drivin/ridden in several and watched out at the track mustangs are no laughing matter when put into the right hands. i could see him pulling on a v6 mustang in his blazer hell back when i had my 01 blazer i had upgraded quite a bit on it and could take stock 5.0's all day in 4 low but after the first little they had me as i had no top end worth a ****. anything is possible if you bank account is large enough.

Eurogold, just curious, the little collage thing in your signature says JDM in the center, which stands for Japanese Domestic Market. So i was just currious why you had it with a pic of your blazer fron and instrament cluster, seeing as blazers would have a USDM, not a JDM.

The JDM part most likely refers to his projector headlights...
And as for beating a 5.0 in 4-low... That's practically a given... My old 4 banger Mazda pickup could stomp a stock 5.0 in 4-low... up to 90km/h... You run out of gear long before you run out of torque.

Yes that refers to the headlights, signals, and taillights.

im sorry man i cant take you seriously.....
was it a v6 mustang first off?
and wtf is a handheld dyno.... if your talking about a gtech...... or any dyno for that matter of fact they are worthless IMO. dyno's say that my turbo truck only puts down 255whp.... and yet i can go run down 300whp camaro's that weigh less and have better aerodynamics...... dyno's are good for tuning, and dyno queens thats about it...
Kinda hard to run a 7.7 1/8th mile in a blazer with only 255whp...... because i did run a 7.7 and you'd need a little more power then that.
and why do you have "JDM" parts on a fricken blazer......... go buy a honda honestly.
sorry im a little sour about this but every s10, blazer, sonoma, forum on the internet almost all of them ahve no idea about racing. so funny to see the first time most of you/them go to the track and see street driven 4 cyl's running consistant 9's, 10', 11's..... just cause you got a v6 or 4.3L's it doesnt mean ****. i got destroyed bye my friends cam'd & full bolt on evo last night. wasnt even a race....... blazers are quick for a school bus i guess, but your not going to go out and beat a quality mustang stock for stock (v8 mustang that is).
Im going to be building a foxbody one of these days. im going to make my own turbo kit for under $1000 and run 11's.... thats the goal not hard. the 5.0 may not be a beast from teh factory but it can hold alot of power and not break (under 500whp that is)
and commmon...... jdm..... blazer....... i just smashed my head into my desk.

I don't see how having something made by JDM makes any difference. I like the looks of Euro's lights better than the stockers... As if the use of such a product makes his opinions or experiences of any lesser value than your own... Please... Most of the parts on these trucks are made in China anyhow...
Back to discussing the ACTUAL topic of this thread...

Thanks Kyle.
Anyway, 02 Vortech, I didn't make the signature anyway. TripleBlackBlazer made it. I would brag about having JDM by putting it in my signature, I just thought it was common courtesy to put up the signature for a while so as to be polite.
The "handheld dyno" thing was something the guy plugged in to the OBD port, and it gave a reading of what power the engine was producing between idle and 5100 RPMs... whether its accurate, I'm not sure.
OK. yes thats a V6 Mustang 01 model with 19" rims, fully equipped with a Clarion system with two 15s in the trunk, two twelves in the back footspace. No performance mods at all. Driver is fat.
I was running my Blazer with the Flowmaster exhaust, 11.5 inch intake with duct and scoop. Less than 1/4 tank of 93 octane ethanol.
The point of the dicussion is that I beat the guy's Mustang, not whether or not its possible to beat the Mustang. ALSO, why would I lie about this?
Clearly what gave me the edge was that I had a lot more skill behind the wheel than my opponent, not that my Blazer was any quicker than the Mustang.

Although i agree stang's are fast cars, i think we give them way to much credit. I have seen many the last 10 years more foriegn than domestic that would walk away from any stang. Granted blazers are not fzast per say but most stangs that i have seen at a lube center i worked part-time at toped out at 85 mph blazers top out at 100 mph blazers do 14.2 in the 1/4 mile stock stangs do 16.5. The stang will always beat a blazer off the line but in distance the blazer would win out unless the stang is the boss, or the saleen. Now i'm only refering to the v-6's not the v-8's. My first car was a 69' rs 427 camaro with all the goodies and i would race it at great lakes drag way and i found alot of the serious racers with stangs didn't even have ford engines in them. And yes it does depend on the driver. Not that i;m saying it will happen in every case. I know a guy with a 87' lx stang that would race people all the time for pink's and he would tell you "you will see my stang for 8 seconds" and then he would put it back in the trailor and collect your pink slip. Till this day no one knows what he had in it but it was fast as hell. This is just all my opinion though.
