Default 3V Gt vs LS1 Z28

I let him do a 30 roll by me, with me sitting still.

Didn't really launch all that hard either, tranny was hot.

Ran him down and passed him by ~85 mph

Was that Justin's 3V - "the slowest 3V Mustang in the world" as I call it?

He means they would be fast if they came out in 1997 and were up against '97 cars, basically an insult lol..

I took it as he misread 3V and thought 2V, but in which case it still would have been wrong because 2V started in 1996, not 1997.

Either way, 2V = slow. 3V = slow. I remember racing a 2V GT that had like every possible bolt-on in the book back when I had my 93 LT1 Formula with just basic bolt-ons, (not even headers), and still pulled him. My Cobalt's first real kill was a 2005+ 3V Stang... awwwwww, I'm gettin all sentimental.

Actually it was first introduced in 1991 in the Lincoln Town Car. It was 5 years old before it was even introduced in a Mustang.

Yes and no.. they are limited as far as bolt on performance. My old 07 went 13.10 at 106 with tune and exhaust, not really setting the world on fire but it was fun on the street. That was an a6 with 331 gears. They are really limited with out a power adder.

My buddy pulled a 12.6 @ 109 with intake, email tune, gears, mid-pipe and DR's.

Guess mid 12's for a 300+- RWHP car is slow?

My 07 that makes 407 RWHP and weighs 3800+lbs with me in it ran a 12.2 @ 113 on Eagle F1 street tires, 3.31's, stock headers, Auto, non intercooled and a driveshaft.

Not really sure what is slow about them. Many guys with good supporting mods and cams are running low 12's high 11's, and there are a lot of Blown 3V's running mid 11's @ 118-121 with good driving.

In stock form, Assassinator has a point though. They are slow as ****, haha.

If I had a blower and only ran 12.2 I would be pissed. My buddy has a 08 with a KB and 3000 stall. His best is 11.98. He was pissed when my car went 11.8 with just cold air/tune/gears. On the same night.

Two weeks ago he managed a new best. 11.82@116 and my car with bolt ons went 11.47@119.
