2001 mustang gt vs 01 z28 i got a race on my way home from work today. The guy was cool about everything. We ran from 70mph both times, i let him take the hit and had prob 5-6 cars by 110 (end of 3rd). He seemed suprised by me pulling away. Im not sure on the exact year but it was the same body style as a 2001. gave him a thumbs up after and recieved one as well. i was suprised and figured it would be closer seeing as i only have a lid/catback/cutout for mods. I raced another mustang gt of the same bodystyle and could only pull 1-2 cars in a similiar race. is this typical? thanks

yup 110 is somewhere around 6000 i believe in third. i think my car runs pretty good. so far the other 2 z28/ss i have raced i beat. 1 had full exhaust and 1 was same mods as mine i believe but they were both autos. those races were from about 20-30mph up to 100mph and i had probably about 2-3 cars on them atleast. I have a check engine light on now though because of my clutch sensor need to fix it. thanks for the comments

Good kill. It's possible that the last one was a 5 speed and was already in the proper gear, and this one was an auto that had to downshift itself. That auto downshift is like giving the other car a 1-2 car headstart depending on the car.

Not sure if anyone has ever swapped non PI heads onto a PI motor...if they have I can't see what the reasoning would be.

im pretty sure this mustang i just raced was a stock or exhaust only 5sp. The other mustang was very close like 1-2 cars up to 120mph and im guessing he was running a 75 shot or so. thanks!
