Cammed 2V Mustang VS Audi S3 Race

[@chefalan23]

The 2v mustang will always have a special place in my heart. They’re not fast by today’s standards, but they’re such a great analog old school driving experience. The way you have to muscle the shifts combined with the live rear axle, mechanical throttle and the noise makes them such a joy to drive.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Same this car has sentimental value to me and I agree it's definitely not fast but it's still a muscle car and fun as hell to drive

[@Svhopowa]

They are meant to be boosted . Put some nice pistons and rods and a power adder they hold a ton of boost

[@notoriousmaddox4105]

Finally had this channel in my recommended. Great sounding 2V and enjoy the short and to the point commentary. Underrated channel if you’d ask me.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thanks for the comment, Glad you found us and make sure to stay tuned for more videos to come!

[@b69sweeney]

Oh my beating heart when I hear those 2v cams pull.

[@RatchetWrenches]

😂 I’m right there with ya man

[@ommeking]

nice pulls, the s3 pulls harder at the top end than i thought. my guy said "brought him to gapplebees" hahah

[@RatchetWrenches]

It definitely does yeah! Hahah had to say it cause it’s true

[@josesaldana703]

Get a on3 performance turbo kit man lots of potential especially with your set up you probably hit 500rwhp with 8psi

[@RatchetWrenches]

I’ve been wanting one for a long time but I’m also leaning towards a supercharger. Way less extra parts needed just straight bolt on. Unfortunately they are more expensive and On3 is very affordable in the turbo world.

[@2v4.6jose3]

@@RatchetWrenches check out their on3 Twin turbos! They’re coming with a stage 2 Twin-turbo soon for these 2vs

[@jonnyvargas9394]

Nice race it's crazy how the Mustang is old but it still keep up with the new cars

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thanks! Yeah the ole 2v still keeps up. Just wait til she's got some boost

[@paulv2141]

Love your Stang man, great channel! I will say I prefer the SLP loudmouth over the Borlas.

[@chefalan23]

Slp sounds good on a cammed 2v with longtubes, but I think they’re a little too raspy on a Catless x with stock cam and manifolds.

[@ponyboywils9950]

Slp sounds like shit on anything they’re just loud and obnoxious

[@petrolhead8851]

Kooks 1 3/4 long tubes, kooks off-road x-pipe, and magnaflow competition series is the best exhaust set up for these mustangs!!! TRUST ME!!!

[@dustinuber5554]

I personally love the Flowmaster super 10 sound on these 2 valves. Along with pypes off road x pipe along with BBK headers . Makes the car roar

[@mmmmmMuffinz]

run the stang vs the vette !

[@RatchetWrenches]

We will once we get the plates don’t worry

[@RatchetWrenches]

Yes they are and thank you!!

[@italktoplanetsbaby]

The 4.6 2 v is the sweetest sounding engine. Ever. I went there. What's the deal with the DMV?

[@RatchetWrenches]

I’ll have to agree with you on that! New Jersey sucks and they are doing appointments only now cause the DMV sucks so much. So we have to wait another week to get the new plates for the vette

[@RatchetWrenches]

Yeah all the time

[@gearedupproduction8290]

I have a carbed 5.0 out of a fox body I wanna go full locked diff but I was thinking 3.73 gears and probably turbos. Thoughts?

[@RatchetWrenches]

I personally love the 373 gears especially for a street car. They work really well with my turbo set up also!

[@gearedupproduction8290]

@@RatchetWrenches sweet thanks man! They work well for digs?

[@NewEdgeDesigns]

U know 5th isn’t for pulling...Don’t even go there, it’s strictly for overdrive...Nice video tho mustang did great...

[@RatchetWrenches]

Yeah I know I run out of 4th gear pretty quick though but thank you 👍🏼

[@TurboTurdBurglar]

Especially if you have a supercharger you can melt a piston in 5th

[@daren9721]

New to the channel. Nice choice in cars, I currently have a c5 z06 and just purchased a s3 and I use to have a mustang gt . Can't wait to see what you guys will do with the c5.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Welcome and that’s awesome that’s basically our line up too! Z06 would’ve been awesome for us but we couldn’t pass up this deal. And we have big plans for it so definitely stay tuned

[@daren9721]

@@RatchetWrenches you guy's will definitely have a lot of with that c5

[@MRGTOLS1]

Weight reduction on rotating mass. Ford racing aluminum d/s, u/d pulleys and lighter flywheel should complement the 3:73’s

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thanks for the tip I'll have to look into purchasing these over the winter 👍🏼

[@VF1Skullangel]

If you were closer to the west coast I know of some cars locally that will give you a good run.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Wish I was! This car is gonna be a whole lot faster towards the end of the summer

[@jamessoria9706]

Hey does that mustang have pulleys?

[@RatchetWrenches]

Nope I’ll probably end up buying some this summer

[@jr-fy7hh]

The v2 diffently needs a tune. Squeeze some more power out.

[@RatchetWrenches]

It is tuned. But I'm going forced induction soon

[@P71ScrewHead]

i think with the mods you have you coulda gone 268 cams like stage 2 Comp Cams, but how you liking them?? Get TrickFlow heads..

[@RatchetWrenches]

Maybe I could've yeah but I love these cams they have the perfect amount of lope and increased the power well on the higher end. Maybe down the line I'll get TF heads I've heard they are good

[@P71ScrewHead]

@@RatchetWrenches heck yeah man, n glad you're happy with the car.. Man, put the intro back in your vids, that "beninging" part of your videos was badass, n I think it makes you stand out more..

[@jasonmoniz7010]

Loving the content! I am partial to the mustang though

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thank you and hey nothing wrong with that haha

[@87turbotbirds]

I can’t remember the mustang have longtube headers? Those were good runs, I think the mustang won, once the S3 is tuned its gonna give the mustang a run for its money.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Yeah we have BBK Longtubes on the stang, I’d say the mustang won for sure. But agreed once the s3 is tuned it’ll be a monster. Stage 2 alone sill be around 397hp to the wheels 😬

[@an-xr6fs]

You gonna supercharge it? (What will you go with if you do)

[@RatchetWrenches]

I’m currently saving for either a turbo or supercharger. If I go supercharger I would love Kenne bell if I can afford it if not probably a Vortech

[@jamessoria9706]

Why does it seem like automatic mustang new edges 99-04 are faster than manual mustangs of the same year 99-04 ?

[@RatchetWrenches]

It all depends on the driver. Most automatics will beat any manual in the same year and car. It’s hard to outshift a manual

[@jamessoria9706]

@@RatchetWrenches i drive an 02 mustang gt i have k n n cold air intake 3, underdrive pulleys, 78 mm bbk throttle body(same as yours), and flowmaster 40 series original. And I always beat manual mustangs, and other cars too soo isdk maybe the pulleys help a lot

[@fixerson-9089]

Once you put bolt ons on C5 youll never look back lol , just mild bolt ons and tune and youll have 350 rwhp and a mild cam youll be 380- 400 rwhp easy. Throw on some cheap 243 heads and your at 430-450 rwhp you will laugh at your 2v mustang , i went from a mach 1 fbo with 4.10 gears which i though was fast to a FBO and cammed LS1and wow night and day difference.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Yeah we can't wait to mod the vette! It's a great platform to start on as well unlike the 2v.

[@DickVanNiggz]

@@RatchetWrenches you’re gonna love the ls1!

[@brianguse8669]

If you wanna make big power out of the mustang changed the cylinder heads cam crank roller rockers bore it trow on a super charger or big turbos full long tube headers full 3inch exust

[@RatchetWrenches]

That'll definitely do it for sure. Definitely doing forced induction soon so stay tuned this mustang is gonna get a whole lot faster

[@kogoat2390]

Google says 292hp and that's at the crank, stock makes 240hp to the wheels. Could only find one video of a stock s3 on a dyno

[@RatchetWrenches]

Yep that sounds about right actually. There aren't many S3 videos out there on KZbin for the dyno pulls

[@realforest]

Next Race: FBO tuned Audi S3 vs. FBO 2V Mustang GT

[@RatchetWrenches]

Audi would win no doubt. The mustang will need forced induction to keep up

[@Carguylogan]

When you are driving a car whether you are in traffic at low speed or racing, your hands go at 10 and 2 or 9 and 3. Not one hand on top of the wheel, you have almost no control like that. You also don't need your hand on the shifter of an automatic car lol. Hands on the wheel in a way that gives you control instead of trying to look like a badass.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thanks dad and I was actually using the trip tonic on the automatic so that’s why my hand was there

[@Carguylogan]

@@RatchetWrenches Just saying, if you are gonna be a car guy it's a good idea to learn how to actually drive. You won't ever see people driving like that at racing events, or with guys who are heavily into the car hobby. Tiptronic = automatic. Put it in D and let the car shift, its not gonna be faster with you pushing the + button.

[@RatchetWrenches]

K dude!

[@echodivy4565]

Nice runs

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thanks 🙏

[@lifeonadime4703]

Nice runs! I wouldn't say it was boost lag at all. Just seemed like the other runs the stang was in it's power band better 🤷. But both cars are solid and with a tune the s3 will come around for sure 🤘. I was SUPER impressed with the mustang running pulling like that. Btw what suspension mods do you have? She looks great! I'm lowered and have upper and lower control arms out back but, Im starting to hate them. I got sphericals and while they handle great, they are ROUGH lol

[@RatchetWrenches]

Yeah I think Austin was just a little salty the Ole 2V put out! I agree once the S3 has a tune and exhaust it’ll be real quick. Thanks I was too, car was running strong. I’m currently on Eibach lowering springs. 1.7 drop in front and 1.5 in rear. I wanna go lower though but am enjoying the somewhat comfortable ride as of now. Suspension work is gonna be done this summer for sure since everything else is stock

[@lifeonadime4703]

@@RatchetWrenches nice bro! Well I It looks like it rides pretty well. I'm on sr springs and shocks(fox length) and they are already blown out lol. It rode so nice before they gave up but, cheap stuff🤷. Eibach is the way for sure. Man, once you get upper and lower control arms you will notice a huge difference in how much power your loosing through the stock bushings. Id recommend saving or waiting for all maximum motorsports stuff though because I didn't and I should have. There stuff is 2nd to none

[@2ndamendmentrights178]

It’s the passenger effect. Whoever is carrying the passenger seems slightly slower.

[@Camaro254]

Don't forget that the Audi had a passenger in the car, that extra weight makes a big difference.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Oh yeah for sure, it’s way faster then the Gti but the mustang with its new mods it can’t beat. Don’t worry I will be going eventually to stage 2 pushing around 397hp to the wheels, along with a dsg tune. Just wanna enjoy it sorta stock for now ya know?

You really did wake that car cause those mustangs are slow af stock. And by the way, those s3 with básic things are monsters that one is in super Stock sleep mode.. once it gets apr or Revo tune And básic bolt ons it Will leave by one Walmart distance.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Yeah the stang is definitely fast. But yeah I agree once we continue to mod the s3 it’ll dominate the mustang at this current setup. We do plan to boost the stang so it’ll keep up with the s3 even when we stage 2 it. It’ll be a close race for sure

[@vmoya6631]

No way! Can't totally just not race the mustang from a dead stop. You gotta get better at driving man. Im a mustang man, and Id rather see a loss. Verses that tiny audi is so fast and I'm scared to try.

The vette is faster the driver was short shifting and not getting into the powerband but the mustang kept up pretty well! It's getting forced induction soon so it'll be faster then the vette then
