TA vs GT http://videos.streetfire.net/video/3...9d00180906.htm
This guy is a buddy of mine. he was pretty bummed when I beat him. However, the car is in terrible need of a tune. It should be much much closer once he gets that done. Still though, i was proud.
btw.... posted ehre because i couldnt find a vid section. im new here, is there one?

I dont think he is going to get you even with a tune, he is probably making less horsepower than you. his combo is very minor. I think he should of gone with 4.10's instead of 3.73's. but still both great cars and awesome races.
I would like to see a vid of after tune races. please post when you do thanks

I was waaaaaaay surprised by the results. From what I know of his setup and my experience with those cars, I think he stands to gain quite a bit with a dyno tune. Im thinkin hell take the next set of races.... but then again.... Im modding too

and thanks 2k1. I looked around for awhile but i couldnt find a vid section..... probably looked right over it.

Well everything I've seen has the 4cyl notchback being the only 87-93 Stang under 3,000lbs, so I'd venture to say an estimation of 3150-3200lbs for a GT hatch is fairly accurate.

I dont want to start a pissing match, but I just came here from the world of mustangs. Ive seen em on the scales. the foxes are lighter than advertised, and the SN95s were a little heavier. the 89 5.0 notch was right around 2900

Well I'm in the world of Mustangs right now... comparing anything other than widely-accepted numbers is kinda pointless. I know that notches are usually 2900-2950lbs, but GTs were a good 150lbs heavier.

Cuz the 400lb weight difference is exaggerated... it's not even a 400lb weight difference between a '93 notchback 5.0, and a '94 coupe 5.0.
