Mustang GT

Well I was in the automatic 01 Z28, and came to a stop light with one of the new mustangs, it was a GT. I just couldn't resist, so at the stoplight we both punched it, he pulled me by half a car length, and then I shut down at the speed limit since there are lots of police on that stretch of road. He just kept on going to infinity and beyond.

Anyways, if my launch was better I probably would have been neck and neck with him, driver error.

I was under the impression that the new GT's still couldn't touch 4th gens. The race probably would have changed once we got past 30 miles an hour, since that is where the car really starts to pick up, but unfortunately I had to shut down.

What kind of times can a GT put out now? 0-60, and quarter mile wise?
I don't know, I've been beaten by Sabaru's and what not, and it was fine. But getting beaten by a Mustang really hurts ya know? Lol
Its time to start saving for some mods.

Driver mod ;).

Basically, the order of cars is LS1 > '05+ GT > LT1 > '04- GT.

BUT, on the street (or even at the track) it can really be a drivers' race between any of those cars. Sounds like you got beat by another DRIVER, probably not the CAR :cool:.

The new GT's are good for ~mid/high 13's on average, compared to mid/low 13's for LS1's, or high 13's / low 14's for LT1's.

i beat a 05/06 GT a lil over a month ago from a dig and a roll going about 70ish, not by alot and he had a few passengers. they are better than before but an LS1 could beat one anyday stock for stock imo

I think the ls1 would of passed the gt if you diden't shutdown. I ran one of those back when my car just had exhaust and a tune and I won by two cars to 100. But I know I was a much better driver than the hot blond; 18-20 year old driver. I did this with a lt1, but befor that I lost a few runs aginst the new gt. On the road it is not always the fastest car that wins, a driver can really help or hert the cars abilities.

Who is to say that the GT was stock?

Aha! Never thought of that my friend. I must admit, it did have quite an audible rumble coming from the exhaust.

Anyways, I think I will just save for an Ariel Atom 2 now, so that no one can touch me on the road. It will give me that feeling of superiority that I always crave.:eek:

i took out a 06gt going to the gyn once just with my mods listed. he was stock and i had two others in my car so i only got like half a car ahead. im sure that lead would of been more if i where by myself. so you shouldent feel to bad. your day will come when you brag!!

No excuses! ;) Mustangs always sound good anyway ... you can't judge them by their "sound". I've spanked SEVERAL really nice "sounding" Mustangs! :cool:

If the OP has a 2.73-geared A4 and the Mustang was a 5-speed, I can see that happening.

Or driver error. :)

They run better than they get credit for.

I will be taking my wife's GT out next month in some nice, cool weather and knock off a chunk of time and add a few mph.

Yes, he did have a manual, and I did have the A4.

LS1 A4's can have either 2.73:1 or 3.23:1 gears. I'm guessing you have the taller gears, which puts you at a disadvantage at lower speeds. A 2005+ GT has 3.31:1 gears.

3.31 for automatics.
3.55 for manuals.

3.31 for automatics.
3.55 for manuals.

Just looked it up to confirm. That's for '05-06. 3.31 is standard on all '07s, with 3.55 an optional upgrade for both transmissions.

Jake,
So with the info you have uncovered it is saying that the manuals also come standard with the 3.31s ? wow!
My 04 Mach 1 had a 5 speed with 3.55s and that was the only gearset availible for the 5 speed car.

Yes. Are you being sarcastic?

Okay. We're talking about 05+ Mustang GTs though. :)

That was a legit question with no sarcasm what so ever! If you feel the need to discuss this any further then please pm me asap.
