Ford should have stepped up to the 400 HP mark when the new style GT came out. I guess they would rather be embarrased by losing to a 10+ year old lightly modded LT1.

Good Kill.

Run it at the track. That way you get to see what you are dealing with there.



Ford really does suck

I don't get it? Are you bragging about a modded car running mid 13s?

No, just a friendly poke at the fact that Ford hasn't made a car that could beat a bowtie. I find it amusing that if one Mustang is beat they are all slow. If one Cobra runs with an LS1 it is equal in a race, ect....

I have been able to run with lt1s mod for mod since I have owned this car. I have the bastard child of Mustang V8 cars too.

Even if you have a "few" more mods on that are you calling out the guy who ran mid 13s?

No, just a question. It is funny with fanboys that if they beat one then they can all be beat, or if one runs this time they all do. LSx owners are the worst fanboys ever. I'm actually impressed with your time based off those mods. Oh, and is that last sentence supposed to insinuate that I can only muster up a mid 13 second pass? There's more to my mods than that, but not much. I would hope with DRs I could hit LOW 13s.

whats with LT1 owners saying things like "well Ford cant keep up with my 10+ year old car" blah blah blah, ive run into lots of Chevies Fords and Dodges that cant keep up with my 40year old car.............The age of the car is irrelevent.

The mustang and f-body have always been in competition. No car company cared to be in competition with a Galaxie, at least as far as speed is concerned. Never heard of the Galaxie rival.

I do agree with the age being irrelevant, though.

I'd say off the showroom floor the rivals for the Galaxie were: Fury and Impala and maybe Bonnieville/Grand Prix.

Ford did compete with Galaxies in the past. ANd the direct competition was the Impala, thing is, the Galaxies were/are much heavier so racers pretty much turned their backs on them (understandable).
