Should I be able to....

.... take a California Edition Mustang?
My buddy has an '07 that is stock and my '06 R/T is stock. Off the line and on the go he still pulls away from me. I mean... It's not the monkey stomping kind of pulling away from me, but he takes me.
I just can't have this!

Car is also going in the shop today to have the loose suspension up front problem fixed, airbag light fixed, and what ever else.
Loose suspension feels like the struts are loose, but I can't find anything.

I also just got it back from the deer hitting me a month ago. They couldn't match the green strips on the bumper, so the bumper stayed a solid black. Looks much better. Well try to get pictures up tomorrow.

The CSE Mustang is a V6 w/Automatic transmission, Racing stripes (2 wide stripes), Chrome-tipped exhaust & Special "California Edition" gas cap badge on the back (replaces the pony gas cap emblem)

You should be able to take it...........easy

Anything I find says the CSE has a V8.

"There’s even more style under the hood of the new California Special: The Mustang GT’s 300-horsepower 3-valve 4.6-liter V-8 gets treated to a unique engine cover that gives the engine compartment the kind of dressed-up look that you'd only expect to see at custom car show. (For those who may wish their GT/CS had a little more “go” along with all the extra “show,” the Ford Racing Performance Group offers several exciting parts packages to provide some additional kick. One popular choice is the Ford Racing Power Pack, which includes a 90mm Cold Air kit, a performance Muffler Kit and the special Ford Racing engine calibration – good for about 20 additional horsepower at the rear wheels"

Thats the 2008, 05-07 were only an appearance group

Sorry, I stand corrected. I have found that there are some 07 GT CSE's I still think your mag should take it though. Thanks for making me double check Chutsk10

IMO... I believe the Mustang would take the RT... they are 300 hp and a heck of alot lighter. Unless, of course, he's got a stick and smokes 'em at the start!

Haha I just Google searched it, I don't really know what I am talking about but the article I found was for a 2007 model.

The OP never stated if it was the GT variety though, but if it is the V6 model you should have no problems taking it . . . if it is the V8, and as NOTPAID4MSRT8 mentioned a heck of a lot lighter I think it would be close which the OP already stated.

Gives you an excuse to go buy a Predator haha.

His is a V8 and the only differance is the larger throttal body, a lower ride, and the exhaust. His is a stick though. I want to be able to beat him!
