Lightning vs 99 GT Mustang???
My good friend has a 99 GT Mustang. He has an intake, x-pipe, underdrive pullies, 3.73 gears, 100 wet shot of nitrous, NOS kit I think, and Nitto D/R. It's a five speed.
The lightning has exhaust, intake maybe, and the pulley mod. I think he is on reg. nittos. I am not sure what year model.
Any idea who would win from a dig and from a low roll (maybe around 20 mph so traction isn't an issue)????

From a roll the Mustang GT should win by virtue of the 100-shot. However, the Lightning will rip the Mustang GT a new a**hole if you go from a dig. Trust me, I used to have an 03' Lightning with full bolt-ons running about 16 psi boost on Nitto Drag Radials. That thing was damn near unbeatable off the line on the street. Once you get moving though, lots of cars can stay close with you. The GT's best bet is to go from a roll. Take it easy.

Didnt you have trouble hooking up with that much power in a truck? No weight out back? Id think the GT would have the advantage out of the hole. I dont get out much so i may be wrong, or maybe i mthinking too much. Should be a good race but id give the nod to the GT

The GT will win both from a roll and a dig, with that set up most GTs will run mid 12s and some even better. We wont even talk about a roll race but from a dig the L won't do it. the GT will be pushing around 350rwhp give or take and weighs 3200#s. Most pulley Ls Ive seen are in the higher part of the 12s. If they both hook the L might pull out but then the GT will roll past.

Yeah the GT dynoed around 330 with a 75 shot. I think his tq was in the low 400's. I was guessing he was somewhere around 350rwhp with the 100 shot. I will try to get it on video and maybe post it up.

Thanks for the info guys. Maybe I can set the race up this weekend. They will probably race from a dig and from a roll so we will see what happens. This is the guys second lightning. He could never beat my brothers Z-28 with the first one so I think he is hoping for a win this time. Poor fella....

ttt...Well they raced last night.
First Race: was from a 20 roll with the Mustang going to spray. But, he was out of nitrous and only got to spray what was left in second gear and I'm really not sure if he even got to spray in third.. Anyway the GT banged the rev limiter in first and managed to stay ahead by about a quarter of a car until they let off. The lightning guy just bought the truck so he is not sure what size pulley he is running and the tune is from a Predator tuner. So I am not sure if the truck is running as strong as it should be. He has a mangaflow exhaust, pulley, and the tuner. No intake.
Second Race: was also from a 20 roll. The GT jumped out instantly but the lightning reeled him in and passed him up top. I think they went up to 125mph. I think he had maybe a car on the GT.
Third Race: dead stop. GT spins too much and misses second. Race over.
Overall I was expecting the lightning to pull on the GT a little faster when he wasn't spraying, but I am not sure if the lighting's tune is that great. We got it on video and I am going to post it up as soon as we can put a little video together.

Well the GT owner said he thought he would have left the lightning pretty easily if he would have had a full bottle. I guess he is right from the way the races went. I don't think the lightning could catch him if he was spraying like he was suppose to.
