Nice run. GT's are pretty quick car's but the ls-1's are quicker.
Lot of people underestimate them, [ Ls-1],I have no idea why.

Congrats on the kill. Theres a couple 06 GTs around where I live, in a small town, and they don't wanna run. They always say, "I'll run a Z but I ain't messing with an SS." I'm thinking WTF!

The LS1 is still the fastest pony car out there imho. I am pissed that ford did not put the 5.4L 3v mill in the GT, if they had, it coulda been interesting.

If you're talking about a stock pony car, then that would be the '03 Cobra.

Nice Mustang kill.

I raced one at the track. He had Magnaflow catback and a tune. I beat him by .1 and 2 MPH. I ran a 13.2 to his 13.3. I usually run 13.0's at this track, but for some reason only pulled a 13.2 that run. He was M5 to my A4.....he pulled me off the line to the 60' then it was me slowly passing him up. Nice kill.

Not really if you mean stock. They aren't a WHOLE lot faster.

Isn't the C5 LS1 faster or even? I really don't know I am asking.

Or is the Vette not a pony car?

I donno. Anyway they arent much faster stock.

Yes they are...at least in terms of mph (power). 114mph is within
their capability in stock trim. That's way out of stock LS1 reach.

Whoops.

Yeah...that's fair I think 12.6 is possible with a great driver. High
12's/low 13's are common.

So how is cobra then out of LS1 reach? Stock f-body can do 110mph with m6, so while cobra is faster I wouldn't say by that much.

I've raced against a few cobras at the track. They were slightly modded and definitely faster than my car, but not by much. 0.2-0.4 seconds.
