My friends want to race!
So my friend just sold his 2000 Mustang Gt with cold air intake, cat back exhaust, and a throttle body for a 2008 Mustang GT/CS with a cold air intake and tune. I raced his 2000 Gt and completely destroyed it, my friends v6 firebird with headers and ram air killed it too, but I was wondering how my 04 A4 GTO with Long Tube Headers and Cat back exhaust would fair against his new mustang. We will probably race a couple times from a stop and a roll. What do you all think the outcome will be assuming we both Drive perfectly, his mustang is a 5 speed btw.

a tune is a 20+whp gain on those cars. They run 18* WOT timing from the factory (tuned for 87 octane) and I ran 31* on mine on 93. I ran a 12.9@107 in decent air with intake/tune/offroad x and street tires.

It will be a close race. I owned a 2006 Mustang GT with intake, tune, mild cams, UDP and 4.10s and I was able to run neck and neck with an 06 GTO that had a tune at the strip. Both of us had sticky tires.

^ hey, its 3vs197 from s197 forum. Yea mine with nsr cams, full bolt ons and 4.10's ran a 12.60@110 with 330/319. 1.73 short time on street tires. Like I said, car looked and sounded good but would take an awful lot to take down an LS2 GTO.

Sadly my Mustang never got into the 12s. Best time was 13.185 at 103.99 and that's with a 1.7XX 60' on both E.T streets and M&H

I think it will be a drivers race. Stock for stock an 04 GTO and 05-10 Mustang GT should be fairly even. Both run about mid 13s stock. L/T should be good for about 15-20 hp but an intake and tune will be good for at least 25 hp on the mustang.

So your saying they are even stock for stock, and that the cai is a bigger power gain on the mustang than the LT's are on the GTO? Seems a bit off to me. I can agree to disagree until he actually runs him and lets us know though.

CAI and tune is a decent gain for the mustang. My mustang with just a UDP dynoed around 275-280/ 280/285 depending the dyno. With a CAI and tune it dynoed 298/309. Just a CAI on a mustang will net an almost 0 gain. In fact only a few CAIs can be used without a tune.

lol people still don't believe I ran a 1.73 short time with Fuzions. Not my average by any means but I did it. I averaged probably a 1.80ish. And yes a tune on a 05+ GT is huge. Headers aren't worth **** on those cars though. I was able to give my 05 12 more *'s of timing on pump gas, huge SOTP difference. But I gotta give it to the LS car with LT's though.

^I thought in your last post that you were implying that I was 3vs197. Both 3vs197 and V8EATER are familiar screen names at S197forum. I am the one who totaled the mustang at the track
