camaro vs stang
first off this isnt me bashing on mustangs...well the story is i keep racing my friend with his mustang GT and he is pretty modfied and i keep beating him fairly easily.... its an 01 5 spedd...with long tube headers off road x some cold air intake and a bbk throttle body. and E/t streets.. we race from a roll and he will hang for like a second then i just put a car on and keep pulling.. and we will race from a dig and he will only hold throhg first and some of second...my question is im almost stock...lid loudmouth and ported throttle body... y am i beating him so badly??? i mean is it his car or his driving.... i just assumed a gt stang with that much mods would be doin a lot better???? basicly im wondering is it just my car is that much faster or does the mods he mmean he should be faster ??? cause he keeps getting pretty upset every time he loses... just wondering wat it might be

Stock your car 'should' be capable of 13.5 @ 104mph maybe a tad better with a few simple mods. Most stock GT's are capable of 14.0 @ 98mph. It's the trap speed that makes the difference from a roll.

you weigh close to the same, and his car, even with mods, is at 230rwhp stock, + 25 for his exhaust with a tune and his TB= maybe 5 if hes lucky as hell. THat is still only around 260rwhp. Compare that to your 300+ rwhp and you should see why you keep killing him. Stock, the 99-04 GT's are okay, but 13.7-14.4 is all they are really good for while still stockish. Your car should do 13.2-13.6 stock and with your mods, high 12's are in order.

The 2v are really a joke na. When my car belonged to my wife and was just bolt ons, I would put a good distance on LS1s through second. Once 3rd comes around, the LS1's top end comes into play. His only chance is from a dig, but after that its all over.

sorry to bring up a old topic but i am friends with the guy that owns this mustang he is talking about..
his car is a 99 gt with 3.73's longtubes, x pipe, throttle body and plenum.
he cannot drive that car well at all.. he runs 14's at the track while i went 13.90 in chok's 01 gt with flowmasters and a drop in k+N
i have not seen you race him anthony, but i assure you his car is being held back by him big time.. his car with a good driver will go mid to low 13's that should be more than enough for him too beat you at the track..
your car as far as i know is a 2.73 car with a cat back. that ran 13.90's at the track.. peoplel here seem too think your car is more heavly modified than it really is and they also think you ran low 13's.. last i checked you ran mostly 14's with a best of 13.9X@101

So since he runs low 14s in his GT, and you run 13.9 when you drive it, do you honestly think a "good driver" is going to pull out low 13's!?! The both of you the must be the worst drivers in the world to have a "good" driver take almost a second off of your 1/4 mile times?
Also, you claim the LS1 usually runs low 14's, and yet, the GT that runs the same times with the owner driving gets spanked everytime. Everything you said makes no sense. I don't see any LS1, especially one with a lid/catback running low 14's on a regular basis unless something is seriously wrong with the car.

I was in the car for a couple races with the et streets on and with regular driving tires. Without the ets anthony would beat our friend off the line. Than the race was pretty much over because anthony's car would have 3 cars than make more toward the end of the 1/4mile. Anthony's car with a auto with 2.73's gears, cai and catback as far as i know. So my friend with the red gt wanted to try out his new et streets and we meet up with anthony at a local hangout. The GT has 3.73's gears, trick flow intake, bbk cai, tb. long tubes, xpipe and catback. We ended up going to a clear area where they could race with no problems. Anthony's car did end up winning both races.
I know svttech, anthony and 99GT driver. We have a pretty fun thing going. I think we should all go to the track and settle it all with timeslips. Let us know if you want too.
Anthony if this is a differant car you are talking about let us know. I am thinking of the red GT.
anthonys car went 13.9 @ 100mph+ that i heard
svt went 13.9 @99 or so
99GT went 14.2 @100+mph
my car went 13.4 @ 102mph
How have you been anthony long time now chat? Have you done anything to your car?

The GT hasnt raced with the et at the track. Also i do see alot of cars LS1, LT1 , GT, STI and SRT4 running low14's. To answer your question. These are two differant GTs. One is modded 14low and other is basically stock other than a dropin K&N and Flowmaster mufflers 13.9. Where is you guys get low 13's out of anthonys car.

An LS1 can do low 13's no problem. I know people that run 14's in 02 WS6's though. THey spin all the way. I have heard of a kid in daddy's Z06 running 15.0 I mean, it all comes down to driver/weather/track prep.
