Good race with a GT

I was at the track last Friday night, and i had the pleasure of racing about a 02 model GT. The first race i slaughtered him a 8.65 to 9.31(1/8th) Going down the track i gave him a "friendly" good bye wave. I guess he didnt like that because he followed me to were i was parked and insisted we run again. So i did, this race was way closer I got about 1 1/2 lengths out of the whole but he crept up to my back bumper and stayed there. This time it was a 8.64 to a 8.69. I was fairly surprised at how fast he was; I didn't get a chance to ask what he had done to his car because he tucked tail and left. Guess he didn't like getting beat by the old 94 Lt1 twice lol.

I also beat a cammed up 94 GT that really wasn't worth mentioning.

Mods for the 94(a4) are 4.10s, Cold air intake, nittos, and some 4" pro stars on the front.
Mustang(M5) mods umm who knows

(Man I cant wait to get the the tranny back form CPT for the 00 Z:bow:)

Im sure he had atleast gears and some exhaust work to hang w/ you. Good runs

Yea im pretty sure he had some exhaust work. It was funny though he seemed really surprised to get beat lol. Some how those 4.6s have got a rep around here as being "fast". And now i gotta guy with an R1 rx-7 he thinks he can smoke me, and who knows maybe he can I just dont get these people heh.

Those rx 7's dont need much to get fast, might be a good race..(the tt ones from the 90's) . 2V GTs need alot to even hang w/ a stock LSx let alone a modded one, not sure why he looked surprised unless he was runnin FI.

He was probably surprised because he was racing the 94.

I think his rx-7 is a 95 or something. Ah, well he will be racin the 00 Z when we do race maybe ill put a 150 shot on her just in case heh. I think he said he has some kinda twin turbo setup maybe. Should be fun either way.

Good job beating up on the GT's.

Thanks, its what camaros do. ;)

I'll keep that in mind. :D

Ok and what do you know about rx7's and going fast? Please tell me Mr.Know it all... Next thing you will say is that its cheap to go fast in a rx7, or maybe you can tell me how wankles last forever. :rolleyes:

No cars "cheap" to get fast. Anyone of those 90's turbo cars (supra,3000gt,rx7,300zx) run in the 13's stock in the manual version. A few bolt ons, bump in boost, and a tune and there moving. Problem is they were expensive and not the most reliable things..Ohh, I cant help you on the wankles subject guess i dont know it all .

Just for every ones info... The guys planing on spending most of his signing bonus(goin into the millitary) on the rx-7 so maybe 10kish in it when he gets back. Should be interesting none the less because most rice rocket drivers,and their cars, around here are just losers....

And for the mustang master... Yes, you should keep that in mind;)

oops didnt mean to do that....:p

you're repeating yourself.

I must have brain damage from breathing in all those fumes from the piles of burning mustangs I have beaten... Guess the owners couldn't handle it:eek::D

Or or or or or or.... it could be from when i fell off the counter when i was a wee lad:think: darn gravity....

W/ your mod list it looks like you beat the driver, unless you were racing 6's

LOL :D

Actually, most of the Cars you mentioned Antz, are a drivers race with a stock LT1 car. Ive yet to see someone IN PERSON, run, or have the slips where they ran a 14.0 or faster with a stock/very near stock car.

Their all hard to get good times with. You try launching a RX7 with a 1.3L Wankel and not bogging it off the line or roasting the tires. Its tough. I drove two. I speak from experience on this one.

Try launching a 3000 GT or Steath TT. If you dont want to break parts you launch it low in the RPM's and get 14's out of it. If you dont care and have deep pockets, tach it up and let er rip. Then they actually can run 13's stock.

The 300 ZX's, I've heard of them running high 13's stock. But thats like seeing the LT1's that run low 13's, and LS1's that run 12's stock. It happens. At negative elevation. And cold temps. With Drag Radials. Power Shifted. And by an experienced drag racer.

Every single thing ive seen out of any of them cars were NOT impressive. Yet to see one that trapped higher than 99ish stock. I mean, dont get me wrong, their quick. I respect them and dont really consider them rice. Im just saying, their not all 13 second cars like their owners think they are. You think its hard to launch a F-Body without bogging or bursting the tires loose, try one of them cars. And with the AWD ones, its just scary your going to break something so most owners drive them like they have a vagene.

The trick with AWD is moderation. You can't leave off idle but you can't leave at redline either. A quick slip from 4500 will net nice 60ft's and no breakage. Dump the clutch and you're more likely to break something. I've done it for over 15 years and haven't broken anything yet.

As long as you aren't counting maintenance items to bring the car up to proper operating condition (we're talking some relatively complicated machinery that's 15+ years old), it is actually very cheap to go fast in some turbo cars. Throw a MBC on an otherwise stock Stealth and you'll get 13.30s at 103 mph (I did it on a 140k+ mi stock car). A $300 downpipe and other cheap mods and it's 12s. By then though you'll have worn out the stock clutch and it's a never-ending money pit. Then again, most cars are when you've added 50% to the stock horsepower. My current car feels like about a 13.0 @ 104-105 and I'm no more than $700 into it.

Notice I said "some" turbo cars are cheap to mod. That's because the poor bastards who own Subaru or Nissan vehicles have fewer vendors to choose from and most have drunk the KoolAid and will follow only prescribed "staged" mods from their favorite vendor. There's no experimentation, no thinking for themselves, just mindless buying of vastly overpriced upgrades.

well best believe it bud, i have, there is no need to lie about it especially since this is the internet

Stang be a tasty.....:cool:

LOL..... Now thats funny.....

Especially the ones that actually are fast....

There aren't any .... there ya go, that settles it, right? :D:bow:

I'll keep that in mind. :D

What you talkin bout? :D

You know, every time someone posts about beating a Mustang, you show up and point out that not all Mustangs are slower than whatever it was that beat them.

You know what? Most Mustangs are slower than stock LT1 Camaros.

So shut up. We know your car is fast; Mustangs in general aren't nearly as fast. How much money have you spent to make it that way?

We all know it takes way more for him to go fast in his stang than in an F-body, but you shouldn't hate on delusional mustang drivers too much;)

By the way, you're correct I show up as much as I can to ENSURE people like you with your 13 second wonderride know you can and will get your azz cracked by a MUSTANG regardless of how much money is spent in order to do that.

Go have yourself a great day mmmmmk? ;)

Funny you mention how much I'm spending. I've never once at the dragstrip or otherwise had someone say "how much did you spend" before we ran......

Interesting concept though thanks for that input :D

Just relize ur the minority, when it comes to Mustang guys, most put a flowmaster on and call it a day,then, "its not stock and its wicked fast" :lol:

When I got into cars in the late '80's it was the 5.0 stang was the late model car to have. The only cars made in the '80's that was faster was the corvette and the rarely seen GN's and even rarer TTA's.
But when chevy came out with the LT1 the F body was faster stock. But there were already modded 9 second 5.0s out there so the Ford camp is'nt worried. Then the stock '96-'98 cobra was equal to the stock LT1 with it being a drivers race between them. But when they came out with the LS1 in the F body it was more than a match for the mustang but modded mustangs were in the 7's already in 1997 so the Ford camp still was'nt worried.But for some reason the LS1 F bodies did'nt sell well at all which was less than half of mustang sales. So in '02 some Ford guys rejoiced while the fastest 5.0's were dipping into the 6's.Then in '03 they came out with the 390hp supercharged Cobra and the Mach 1. The cobra was more than a match for a LS1 and the N/A 5 speed Mach1 could give a LS1 a good race.With of introduction
of the GT500 its not only the fastest regular production mustang ever but is faster than any Regular production F body.
1982-1992 mustang faster
1993-2002 F body faster
2003- present mustang faster
Fastest production car of either car. GT500. Since they're making over 5000 of them a year they are considered a production car. The 600hp and 725 hp supersnakes are'nt considered production because of low numbers just like the ZL1 camaro.
Also a bone stock '05 present mustang GT is a solid 13 second car while the LT1 is a very high 13 second car at best with most running 14.0-14.1.
Mustangs are now capable of mid 6's. theres even a 4.6 mustang that has run 6.5@215mph. I beleive the fastest 4th gen F body has only run a high6 6 second pass. GEEZE, mustangs were in the 6's for 6-7 years.LS1's are just starting to get there now.

Once upon a time I had flowmasters and hated them ... actually ended up using a hack saw to get them off my ride. I run borla now ;)

so how long ago where 1st and 2nd gen fbodys in the 6s... youre saying ls1s are just getting there... they also just came out 10 years ago where as your 5.0s were out since the 80s.. with time any car will be made faster by someone...

i think some of these tools are just blah blah blahing about mustang vs. fbody garbage... stock for stock who gives a damn because if youre gonna race the cars chances are you wont keep them stock... so its mainly who has the better set up.. i know a turbo fox guy, i know a guy with a blown GT running 11.1s @ 124... and i know MANY MANY lsx guys.. and honestly we crack back and forth oh u have a ford oh you have a chevy blah blah but its all joking... we know whos cars are quick and whos arent (like mine haha)

and the GT500 was never aimed at the fbody... hell why would it be they have been out of production for 5 years so how could they compare? GT500 was aimed at the vette...

Its funny how guys love to argue Ford vs. Chevy.... I mean really argue it I just joke around. Its insane really; they all use the same technology. Theres no huge difference btw them. Were all gear heads here we all know that. So kids grow up, and have a great day mmmmk.
