Well i was airbase pkwy last night around 11:45 and this Silver Mustang gets next to me and gives it some gas. It looked like a young guy in the car. He also had 2 people in the car with him. So i threw a rev back. Then he gave it gas again. I knew it was on now. So we were next to eachother and i opened up the cutout. When i did this he immediatly punched it(i guess he though i punched it too). I punched it to. It took a sec but i started to walk past him. This was a 70mph roll. The next was also a 60-70mph roll but this time i was ready and i immediatly started to pull away from him. I put about 1 1/2 cars on him. The very last race was when we were trying to get a red light but it didn't happen. So we went from a 30mph roll or so. I was in 2nd. We both punched it and untill i got into my powerband we were even. But then i started to pull on him. We raced all the way to about 105mph and i had about 2 1/2 cars on him or so. I couldn't tell for sure but i could see his whole car in my rear. I slowed down for him and rolled down my window and gave him a thumbs up. He did the same. He had the disadvantage because of the extra weight in the car but i sort of screwed up and i left my Traction Control on and inbetween shifts the Low Traction light came on. I'm pretty sure that it robbed me of some power between the shifts because the car didn't feel smooth between the shifts. Ecspecially during the 2-3 shift. But either way it was a good race ecspecially since i won.

 

Good Kills, he would need alot of mods to be putting down your power, and bolt ons wouldnt cut it. Those are great numbers for basically just a catback n a cai..Ill still say stock vs stock both manual the Gt is no race for a good running LT1

 

I fully disagree, stock vs. stock.

 

Yor times certainly dont disprove me....and your a few mods shy of stock as it is..

 

My mods total about 10-15 rwhp. I don't powershift. I got a crappy 60' time on that run and burned tires hard going into 2nd. It has been argued on this forum countless times and most people agree that an LT1 and a 99+ GT is a drivers race in the 1/4 mile. I have driven the sh** out of a '93 and '94 Z28 both bone stock. The LT1 and the p.i. 4.6 is a great match, stock for stock. Post a poll in the lounge and see what everybody thinks on this subject if you dare.

 

I have yet to lose to a 99-03 GT but I would agree with you Steve Y. I believe a stock LT-1 and a 99-03 GT will both turn 14.0-14.5 1/4 mile times depending on Launch. Mine stock ran 14.2.

IMHO the Z is a bit easier to launch which gives it the advantage. Well at least my A4 is easier to launch. In fact every GT I race seems like the same race me hooking while the gt spins.

 

Hey bro im in vacaville. Be careful on ABP, my buddy got ticketed there..

 

I think a 99-02 Cobra vs. an LT1 is a good race, but the GT doesn't have enough ***** whether it's modded or completely stock. I mean I've seen supercharged GT's not put down 300 horses which is pretty crappy. Ford should have put the 5.4 into the Mustang, then it would have been a much nicer car IMO.

 

good kill man...im trying to think of anybody i know with a silver gt but cant think of who it may be....abp is one of the funniest places to run....man dude im pissed my paasenger side header is leaking and i cant get it sealed up right so my car has been sitting in the gerage for about 2 weeks.....but imma make it to the meet on the 21st hit me up and come thru to my house if you want to hear my leak and try to help me point it out....

 

Personally my favorite engine the mustang had was the 5.0 in the 90 or so years.

 

While I agree with you that Ford should have put the 5.4 in the Mustang, I haven't been doing too badly with the 4.6 .... hell, with my old combination I was pulling 377rwhp/375rwtq and have a little bit more then that through an auto now.

 

Um, hold on there cowboy
A 99+GT with just a 6lb blower setup on a CONSERVATIVE tune will put down 320Hp.......
Anyway, you guys obviously dont know ****.
I see it time and time again.
It's funny people like me can run 12's with 2k$(only power mod is steeda pullies) the rest was suspension(that could have been MUCH under 2k, i just cant do my own work, guess i want some warranty).
Anyway, have fun beating my wife when I'm not driving the car, hope i see ya at the light.

Oh, its funny how my bud at work wouldn't race me in his stock TransAm(LT1) when i was stock too


*Edit: An the 6lb is NON intercooled there cowboy
**re-Edit: oh ya, a bone stock GT with a 75shot(lets say i knew someone who did this puts down 330hp/340tq...........so have fun with those FULL BOLT ON GT'S that lose to the stock LT1's with 1million miles
You guys are coming full cycle again, getting as bad as the SRT-4 forums..........c'mon now

 

Play nice now kiddo

I rather enjoy kicking mustang's asses. Although I have lost to a few. Too bad it took that supercharger you were talking about to do it. Oh yeah by the way this was in my old 98 T/A (no, not the 97 in my sig)

 

Not being funny but have you heard the term "Run what you brung"? That is what immediately comes to mind.

 

First of all, don't call me cowboy, it sounds homosexual coming from a guy, and I don't want to be assiciated with someone on/in a mustang.

Second, it's not that I don't like the mustang, the lines are good and it's a nice ride and all, but the 4.6 SOHC motor is garbage. Ford rates them at 260 hp and most will dyno 180 at the wheels. The GT is not a performance car. Get over it. Now a cobra with its 4 valve heads and IRS is a much better match for an LT1. It almost always comes down to the driver, but I'd still give the LT1 a bit of an edge cause it has more torque.

Lastly, I can provide at least two national sources of GT's that are supercharged and not making 300 rwhp.

1. Project Nightmare on Horsepower TV... 285(or 6) rwhp

2. An install that National Dragster did on a GT.. 284 rwhp

Both were dynoed on a Dynojet chasis dyno.

Ps. Even Vortech doesn't claim 300 hp on their non intercooled 6-8 PSI kits. On their 10 PSI HO intercooled kit they only claim 323 hp. I'll give them the benefit and say it's rear wheel hp, but I'm skeptical.
