I just read this months Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords mag. Evan Smith ran a 5-speed '05 Stang GT to a 13.4 at 102 bone stock. He ran an '01 to a 13.7 at 101 years ago. Same track, same driver, similar track conditions. This is for all the people on this board that think the '05 is so fast and the '99-'04 so slow.

 

Ive raced 909-04 gt's at the track and they are TURDS. I have 3-4 cars min. on them with the old ls1 auto. I dont really care about e.t.'s to be honest. I have also raced many on the highway and they couldnt hang for ****. about as fast as a 350z thats it brudda. mostly low 14's @99 or so

 

Seen numerous 05's already run 13.3's bone stock, theve run 13.1's stock w/ a simple computer reflash..best ive seen from a 99-04 ever was a 13.7....05 are running low 12's already w/ not alot at all...99-04's w/ more mods have a hard time even gettin into the low 13's...Live w/ it 05's are alot faster...Its already been proven the 3v responds WAY better to simple mods then the 2v on top of having 50 more hp out the gate.

 

Yet another idiotic post added to your list....id say you should prove us all wrong, Id reccomend actually breaking into the 13's first w/ the modded 2000 .

 

3/10 and 1mph is a few carlengths... not exactly neck & neck.

 

The new mustang could have trapped higher and ran better but FORD Streteched the gear ratio's out on the 5 speed for better gas milage wich put a hurting on the trap speeds and quarter times.
If it trapped 102 and ran a 13.4 then he had one hell of a good sixty.

 

it has 300 HP,wow,thats ball breaking these days man im tellin ya .

the LS1 had over 300 when it first came out in the C5 vette...then the F-bodies.

point is,aside from the stupercharged slowbra,they got NOTHIN.

i prefer to just sit back and laugh

later

 

Yeah, 3 carlengths. 3 cars could be made up with DRs alone.

 

Compared to LS1s, they are turds and '05 GTs are kinda turds.

 

Sure, assuming one driver is Sh*t and the other has the slicks.

Or assuming one car got the DRs and the other kept bald factory tires.

 

Dude, do you really feel you have to defend your car???? You like your car, that's fine, but your not going to change anyone's mind with this kind of BS thread. Face it, the 05 GT performance wise is the superior car, as it should be with 35 more horse, etc... The same way TPI owners had to accespt they are number 2 when when the LT1 came out, then again for the LS1, and now the LS2... Your car is yesterday's news, Deal With It!

 

Stock 99-04 GT's dyno in 220's typically....Stock 05's are in the 270 range.

That is a lot of rwhp to make up.

Rice Killer87...I doubt your setup could take a 13.3 car so what exactly are you laughing at?

 

On the crappy, dusty tracks I race on, DRs can easily knock off 3 tenths compared to new street tires. Maybe good tracks are different?

 

I know. I like my car and hate the looks of the '05 GT. I also don't like them gaining weight. I am just trying to put the facts out here for everybody to see. Some morons on this board think my car is 1 second slower than an '05 GT stock for stock by the way they exaggerate.

 

Since the '05 GT is 200-300 lbs. heavier than a '99-04 GT, it is not near as much hp to make up.
