Coming home from the lake last night I noticed a Black 05 GT a few cars back (single lane rd). A few min. later the road became 2 lanes and the GT hammered it as soon as the road widened, passing the 3 cars between us. He got beside me and dropped a gear. We were doing about 30-35 and I was in 2nd waiting on him to come up. As soon as he dropped the gear, he floored it, as did I. From 35-60 or so we stayed exactly as we started, with me in front by about 2 feet. By 70 or so, I started inching on him ever so slightly and by 100 he was at my bumper. At that point I shut down because we were getting to a busy area. He kept going, but stuck his thumb out. I flashed him and that was the end of it. Best race I've had in the GTO (only the 2nd, the first was also with an 05 coincidentally). The mustang really impressed me !(although I still don't like it's looks) I was really pissed at myself though cause I had debated whether or not to open my bottle for the ride home. I wish I had!

Yes there very impressive, w/ the right driver its a damn good race (as you obviously saw)..They seem to get outta the hole real nice to, good runs. You should have sprayed his *** and sent him home crying ...btw why zex?

 

Yeah, he suprised me. Pretty sure he was stock too. I'm gonna have to get some mods once these things really hit the streets.

I had to use my Summit credit card cause I was broke and Zex was the only wet kit they had for the LS1 at the time, so I didn't have much choice....however, after getting the kit I must say I'm very impressed with it. The install was a breeze and the kit works flawlessly. Much better than the NOS kit I had on my Supra.

Yea I just heard the other kits were better but your reasoning makes alot of sence. Hmm, planning on getting something soon, summit credit card sounds like a damn good idea ...whats your limit btw? Might have to put a blower on there

 

Does anyone else see the irony in this statement? :P

 

You know after I read that I was thinking the same thing...he was so broke he needed a nos kit

 

Nice Kill.......I love those new GT's. I dont,however,like the idea of the market flooding with them. It takes away the car's jewel like look because of it becoming so common.

 

Sweet kill on the new GT. Nice to see the the GTO holding up. I think the guy would have took his car back to the lot if you opened up a bottle on him Glad I saw this thread, now I know about where I stand against a 05 GT.

Did you seriously assume they would be uncommon?!?!?!
Since when was a Mustang an uncommon site?
Saleen, Roush type cars, maybe... but the basic plain Jane V6 and GT?
Its a Mustang for cryin' out loud... it is going to sell...

 

maybe if GM had of done that we would still have a camaro/bird....think I remember seeing 2 4th gen camaro commercials ever

 

I recall only two F-Body Commercials:
One where the lady passes a trucker in a Camaro, and one where a T/A is waiting at a stop light and light explodes, and the T/A races under it before it hits the ground...

 

Good Kill. What are you running in the 1/4? I've yet to see one of these thing run at the track. I killed one several times a while back on the hwy but we never evenly lined up. I'd wait then run him down after he tried to flyby me, 1-2 car head starts. It took me to 110+ to get past him every time from 75. I was impressed given that my car isn't stock.

 

Time to get a remote bottle opener!

 

No I never assumed that. Was it hard to understand? Im saying its a shame that it does. Its what happened with all mustangs and will continue to happen. Nowhere in my paragraph did it say " Mustangs of the past wherent a common sight" and never refered such a thing either.
But As much as I love the new ones Im thinking they are going to get old looking quick as did the past ones" specially the 90's models" due to the market flooding with them.

 

Right good idea, keep mustang production low for exclusivity so Ford has to jack up the price per unit on a base V8 car to make some money.
