im not talking car and driver numbers bs. I have two buddies with GT's both are dog **** slow. one is a 08 and the other a 07 and both barely break 14.5's and cant even trap over 101 mph. They are crap monsters. It takes 10lbs of boost for them to go 12.7's pathetic.

Irunelevens

So since your friends can't drive, that means that the cars are slow? Mustang GTs have been capable of running in the 13s since 1999, get with the program. Or reality, whichever you choose.

A STOCK GT from 99 runs 13's???? You must be smoking crack. Why are you even on ls1tech??? Your name is irun11's but so far i see you have driven a 14 second mustang and a almost 14 second HONDA You need to get in mommy's corvette and spray it so you can feel some REAL power under your ***. Until then i would request a name change to "I almost run 13's" I would love to see a 100% STOCK GT from 99-present run 13's.

They have? LOL


Sorry, thats just funny.

Irunelevens

If the two of you are both ignorant enough to not understand facts, then I'm sorry. Many people might not have been able to do it, but the FACT still remains that stock '99+ Mustang GT 5spds have run as low as 13.7 in the 1/4. You don't want to admit that, your problem not mine.

99 GTs are capable of running 13s in perfect circumstances.. Meaning a very good driver and a very good DA, both must be present. They are "capable" of it though. Just like Ls1s are "capable" of running 12s.

Uh oh, now Lemons is smoking crack too

You missed the point. I though it was funny that your trying to prove that Mustang GTs could run a whopping 13.7. Its not that I dont believe you its just funny because of what it is.

Im still not a believer..........the early GT's are crap. Show me a video or some time slips of a STOCK 99 running 13's. I wont even begin to make fun of the automatic GT's bc thats even worse.

All i am saying is that ford FINALLY did something right for a change. They stopped "Advertising" horsepower and finally made some cars with actual horsepower. I just find it funny that the new V6 is faster than all of the GT's in the past.

I don't give a flying **** what your butt buddies can (or in this case can't) do. When the '05's first came out I drove a friends bone stock GT to a 13.68 at 104 on my first run in the Texas summer heat.

Irunelevens

I think it's funnier when people try to argue that it never happened.
Record for a '99-'04 automatic GT is 14.2, I believe. Google is your friend
Motor Trend also ran a 13.8 in an LS1 Firehawk ~12 years ago. When there are thousands of people that OWN the cars and have run them, don't use magazine times.

kain01

Meh don't worry, the stock 14 second GT was still as fast or faster than the stock LT1.

If you want to use magazine racing this article has a list of some 1/4 mile times from the car's they've tested over the years.

This a high altitude track or something? If not, your two friends are completely inept drivers. That's their fault......not the cars'.

I'm not one to start **** around here, but you need to lay off the General's **** before you choke. 05+ GT's were solid mid to high 13 second cars stock, and one pushing 10 lbs of boost is easily an 11 second car with a half *** driver. Oh, and while it doesn't look that way from your perspective.......the world actually is round, not flat.

Do explain man... The quickest ever for them is a 13.7.. So you are telling me the average run within 3 tenths of that?

If that is the case.. The quickest fbody, IIRC, is 12.6.. That would be the average fbody would run in the 12s and we know that is not the case.

You are telling me with a DA of 2500 and a good driver it will hit 13s... Or a DA of 500 and a crappy driver it will hit 13s.
I can believe with a DA of 500 and a good driver it is possible to hit 13s. But both of those must be present for that to happen.

How can you argue that?

Irunelevens

What I said was in response to this...
When you then said this...
Which insinuated that since I had to be smoking crack, apparently you were too.

assasinator

10lbs of boost in a otherwise stock 2005 - 2009 in a turbo will yield 500-515 rwhp. in a whipple its around 475rwhp. thats 11 second territory.


im not going to defend mustangs on a LS site. but what you are saying is just not true.

your altitude in the chicago area is 669 feet above mean sea level.
on an average spring day with 70degrees,30.00 pressure, 40percent humidity a DA of 1556. the correction factor of .9829 and 1.018 mph correction.

a typical 05-09 automatic gt WILL run 1/8th 9.1-9.2 and 14.0-14.2 at bowling green.
a typical 05-09 manual GT WILL run 1/8th mile 8.7-8.8 and 13.6-13.7 again at bowling green


totally untouched cars. ive witnessed it too many times. ive raced against them too many times.


you are saying you see 300hp(269rwhp)3500lb manual transmission car(they are simply a car)14.5 at 101 mph.

how can a 4th gen LT-1 run 8.9 1/8th and 13.9 quarter miles BONE STOCK with 25hp and no variable cam timing less? i have also witness 93 6-speed Z28's destroy stangs but run 8.90's 1/8th mile every time. (automatics run 9.17 1/8th mile)

you are saying you see 05-09 mustang gt's with 207rwhp. thats the power they have to make to run that time.

101 mph is at least close to what they run bone stock(102-104). ill give you that.


not trying to start anything. but thats like saying a M6 2010 SS only runs 13.7@105mph.

LS1Transhed

Should be roughly in the same boat as a Mustang GT in terms of breaking into the 13s, with the edge going to the LT1 since is a bit underrated itself.

This is true. 99-04 Mustang GTs can break into the 13s with nearly perfect conditions, just like 98-02 Trans Ams/Formulas/Z28s can break into the 12s with near perfect conditions. But not one would say an LS1 F-body is a 12 second car, nor a Mustang GT is a 13 second car.

I like this thread...it's just too bad it's not about the 2011 Mustang V6, cause that would be awesome.
