..I'm gonna race a buddy of mine in his new car this weekend...will it be close?....i have a 2000 z28 6 speed bone stock 63 k miles .just a flowmaster cat-back and k&n air filter ...last month he got a 2003 mustang gt 5speed w/ around 50 k miles....his has full exhaust system and a computer tune...he had it dynoed at 320 rwhp...will 1 of us get embarrased?..or will it be close?....if its a drivers race i shouldnt have a problem....

 

Personally I don't beleive a Non-Cobra Mustang would ever dyno that much to the rear wheels without a lot of work.

Dyno results aside. If you both launch the same, he's gonna have plenty of time to memorize your tag number.

Re'

 

I agree with what was said above. No way is a 2003 mustang GT going to test at 320 hp with out major mods. If it was a Cobra, then yes. One of my cars is a complete stock 91 z-28 with a 350, with 240 hp and I have no problem beating a 2004 stock GT with 260 hp. So, if his car is basically stock except for exhaust you should completely destroy him.

 

anihilate him...

 

320 RWHP? I dont think so...

And here's a vid.. I know they have some bolt-ons but it's an idea.

I did it (on more than 1 occasion), you can do it too

 

Iv beat these guys, in a stock lt1, id say good luck but you won't need it.

 

Have you replaced the factory plugs? You'd win either way, just by more if you've tossed the junk factory plugs.

 

assuming he has 320rwhp... he might win.

assuming its a stock 4.6.. youll walk him like he wasent even racing.

 

...hey just gonna let u guys kno i didnt get 2 race last weekend...his 320 rwhp gt was supposedly in the shop lol....but he did bring his dad's 2003 mustang gt roush stage 2......guess he figured it was faster or something idk....lets just say when i hit 100 mph i was about 4 lengths ahead.....he let off i rolled it on 130 make my point clear that a LS1 isn't the motor his ford buddies make it out 2 be...needless 2 say i doubt ill get 2 run his car anytime soon haha

 

well done...

not surprised...in the outcome or that "it was in the shop"

i recently chatted with a mustang guy who has about an 03 gt with some mods and a supercharger...he was excited when he dynoed 330rwhp.

he didn't respond too well when i mentioned that after all that he's making what a typical bolt on LS1 makes...and is up to 5yrs older

 

Someone probably told him that he didn't have a chance against an LS1 and/or his 320 HP was BS.

 

or someone took the dyno results and conveted them to crank hp without telling him

 

Silly Mustang owners! They'll believe any BS they're fed!!

Heh, I saw a kid struggling to get out of the 15's with his '01 (I think? ) GT! Another guy I work with had a '99 GT and ran 14.5. Pathetic! My bone-stock LS1 ran 13.4, and with nothing more than 4.10 gears, I pulled off a 13.02! After converting to the 6-speed, bolting on long-tube headers and some drag radials, and with 3.90 gears in the back (4.10's broke) I pulled a 12.8 .

..... where are all those Mustangs again????????

(BTW, my car REALLY DID dyno around ~320 RWHP )

 

Wat If Tha Camaro Was Automatic!!!???
