Ford Mustang Speed Comparison - Ford Mustang GT vs Mustang Nascar vs Mustang Supercar @ Adelaide

Dick Johnson (Mustang Supercar) vs Marcos Ambrose (Nascar) vs Scott McLaughlin (Mustang GT). Whose Ford Mustang is the fastest on the streets of Adelaide

This is the prove that NASCAR can take a right corner.

[@blackavant9405]

Nascar cars are really good, its just i don't know why they keep doing the same races over and over again, they keep going in circles and more than 100 laps, i feel like the nascar cars can be way useful in a normal track, they got the speed and handling to do any corner on high speeds.

Dick Johnson has still got it, that was good to see. They should return to a production based race car spec as that thing Scott was in did a pretty good job. Imagine how good the series would be if it returned to open field entry again. They’d have a full grid of 60 at Bathurst and a huge amount sitting in the grandstands.

[@marcussimo2004]

Bathurst was only that much because of all the 2 litres that use to race but I do agree, having a big field of at least 40 would be awesome but supercars is dying. Wouldnt mind seeing the 2L race at bathurst with the v8s again though.

[@dinosshed]

Personally I don’t mind what gets out there as long as it’s using a race prepped version of what we can all buy from the dealership. Sure they won’t be as fast as a supercar but they’ll put on a show as each car shows strength and weakness in different areas. The modified production series is pretty much it except the vehicles aren’t new.

[@BatMan-oe2gh]

60 Cars at Bathurst with the speeds they do now, too many cars and too many accidents.

[@sixstanger00]

It's worth pointing out that it took an entire lap for the NASCAR & Supercar to close the gap on the GT, and they literally only blasted past it on the straightaway at the finish line, where their massive horsepower differences give the biggest advantage. To be honest, I'm stunned that a bone stock S550 was able to hold it's own in the corners against two track-prepared cars. Let's keep it real here: If their HP were equal to the GTs, they wouldn't have been able to catch it.

[@slackjaw703]

To be fair, it’s not like they all took the flag at the same time. If you subtract the massive advantage each of the other cars got over the nascar version, it would’ve been easier visually for most to understand just how far behind the other cars would’ve been. Still, it was set up to be close, and it was. The stock mustang did great. It’s amazing that we can buy one and drive it on the road. Cool time to live.

[@NBSV1]

They spent quite a bit of time closely behind the regular mustang and weren’t really trying to pass it like a race. If they all started together and ran a few laps for the race cars to get up to temp you’d see how big the difference is.

[@slackjaw703]

NBSV1 The street car got about an 8 sec head start, the supercar, got a couple more secs head start, then the nascar took off. The start times must’ve been based on previously run best times to make the end as close as possible.

[@sixstanger00]

@@NBSV1 All starting at once would've ended the race before the first corner. The NASCAR & Supercar are much more powerful than the GT and thus would've got the hole shot. Their strengths were on the straights; if the GT couldn't keep up with them (and it clearly couldn't since they closed the gap after 1 lap), the GT would've been dead last before the first turn.

[@skaldlouiscyphre2453]

@@sixstanger00 The Mustang GT on street tires would have lost time in the corners and on the straights. If power was equal the V8SC would be fastest because it has the most grip.

[@pokefrosch617]

It is astounding how shitty the Supercar looks if you compare it to the real deal or even the mock stockcar. Also how slow it is compared to the NASCAR.

[@falconpowerful2362]

That’s because of the rules and regulations of V8SC’s. To change too much would’ve cost too much and caused too many headaches. So they’ve opted to allow/make Ford stretch a Mustang shell over a Falcon SC chassis. I hope this helps.

[@sgtpepper6379]

Well that goes to show that the giant wing does fuck all, considering a NASCAR Cup car with minimal downforce kept right up with it. Yes, I realize it's not the fastest circuit, but damn.

[@spdwebdotnet]

Lot of comments on here about limiting HP on some NASCAR oval tracks. While this is true, as the governing body gets a little nervous as speeds get around 200mph. I propose a different route. I would like to see unlimited HP, and slow the cars down with the aero package. Take a little handling away and they wont be able to go that fast. When you limit power with a restrictor plate on super speed ways you end up with a bunch of gokarts just holding it to the floor all the way around. While this does add the element of strategy for passing such as the importance on drafting. I think taking areo away and leaving HP in reserve for passing would make for a much more entertaining race. We would quickly see who has the driving skill and who doesnt.

[@dougharrison7844]

All respect in the world to Dick Johnson and his acheivements but imagine if you put a current driver in that Supercar instead of a former great in his sixties.

[@shroom903]

The nascar doesn't have the same aerodynamic strategy as supercars. They are designed to be on high banks providing downforce in long sweeping corners. Look at the camber on the supercar vs nascar. He has the power, just not as much cornering. He's on the ragged edge on the corners to make it stick

How to bring back NASCAR. step 1: allow the cars to be based on the cars body. Not cntrl c cntrl v the bodies and add stickers. Step 2: lighter wheels and better tyres. Put some alloys on, and some better rubber. That wheel/tyre combo is iconic, yeah, but outdated. Step 3: aero. They had something with those CoT racers from the mid 2ks. Try that again. Step 4: more road courses. America has some iconic, and great technical tracks, that are still fast! Use em mate. Step 5: EFI, and sequential gearboxes. I'll admit, I love the sound of a carb sucking in air. But these are supposed to be modern racers. Make em modern. Step 6: Added safety. Give em lights already! Step 7: Better suspension setups. Make those cars really dig in to turns. Step 8: remove the France family.
