Smile 06 gxp vs 07 mustang gt

ok so last night me and my buddy were having a garage night, working on the lifted bronco and the ls4. decided to go get something to eat really fast, then this mustang 5 speed comes up and does a ricer fly by. it was someone i knew. so he said lets race , like anyone else i was down. 3 honks and we went, he got me from the 0-60, then from there i was catching a lot of ground and passed him like he was tied to a tree. we did it 2 more times after that and the same outcome happened. then when we met up at the gas station i asked what all he had done to it, he said a short throw shifter, borla exhaust, and a k&n intake....i dont know if its me but i think those mustangs are kind of over rated.

I would think a 3V car should be a good race for an LS4 car once they get moving, but anything can happen.

Good kill.

Good kill . But those Mustangs are not overrated, they are exactly what they are imo.

Can't imagine a 3V Mustang being over rated. It's only slightly better than a 2V

Good kill used to rape the old gxp's the slow 3v was tuned with xpipe cai. Stock i could see a gxp edging a 3v out.

eh, probably a v6. My buddy had a 06 GT with an Elanor Body kit and heavy *** wheels with just a side exit exhaust and a tune and he walked a GXP with intake/exhaust. GXP's stock are down a few tenths/mph over a stock 3v.

I know the 2v 4.6's are slow as ****. But the 3v 4.6 is no slouch. They run mid 13's in the 1/4 with a good driver. Frankly, I'm surprised you won. He must not have been shifting that well. But nevertheless, good kill

Well in a perfect world at the drag strip, the Mustang would outrun the GXP. That is the only reason I am defending it.

You are full of crap if you think a anywhere near stock 3 valve is gonna walk a LS3 equipped G8 GXP. I've personally seen a GXP run a 12.9 stock, same day I ran my 12.8 / 1.9 60' when I was full boltons.

Aren't we talking about the LS4-equipped FWD platform GXP here.
