which car is faster a mustang or altima?

Question

my cousin and I are having an argument about which car is faster............A mustang GT or an Nissan Altima 2007 which one is faster???thanx

Answer 1

Faster by what definition? 0-60? Quarter mile? 0-100? Top speed? Slalom? Race track (which one?) Which trim vs. which trim? There's at least 5 trims of Altima that I know of, and 2 engine choices, the 2.5 and the more powerful 3.5.

I am going to assume you mean the sportiest model, which would be the 3.5 SE. That puts out a respectable 270 HP, and 258 ft/lb of torque. Curb weight of 3380.

However, Mustang GT, stock, has 4.6L V8 putting out 300 HP, 320 ft/lb of torque. Curb weight of 3500.

Just by looking at the torque alone, I can tell the Mustang GT will be faster in all acceleration scenarios. That extra 120 lbs is not significant problem.

Answer 2

first off everyone who has said anything about the mustang gt 1/4 mile time is way off. the best gt time is around a 13.8 and the average driver will never break 14.4. the altima will depend on its trim level. what i mean by trim level is whether or not it is a v6 or a 4 cylinder. the v6 will not beat a mustang gt, but the se-r altima can get pretty close. the 4 cylinder is not even a comparrison sorry. the gt is a faster car but at the end of the day i will always take an altima over a stang their just a much better car.

Answer 3

I looked at the "car and driver" magazine and the 2007 Nissan Altima does the 1/4 mile in 14.6 sec, 0-60 in 5.9 sec. I really couldn't find the specs for the mustang but I know it has a 500hp engine that is pretty fast. So in my opinion the mustang would smoke the nissan. And I am a nissan owner

Answer 4

mustang gt 500hp? what your thinking of the mustang corba with a supercharge, the mustang gt is faster but a stock gt will not run a 12.8 1/4 mile 300hp it might get a 13.2 1/4mile if a good driver was drivng it.
