Default An SS vs a mustang, Who would win? [priceless noob question]

2000 SS has
- SLP intake
-ram air hood
-cat back straight pipe
- automatic
107k miles
2003 4.6 Mustang has
- 75 mm Throttle body
- BBK shorties and flowmaster 40's
- Cold air intake
- and the tune that is on it, is the tune from when he had a supercharger with a 4lbs pulley. A lil rich but not too bad.
- 5k miles on a new 4.6 motor [ he blew the old one with his v2 vortch ]

Yeah me and my buddy haven't raced yet but he is more then positive that he will smoke me... i believe he ran in the high 13's at the drag strip but he won't tell me. His first pass was a 14.2 and the fastest I saw was a 13.8

4.6 mustangs have to be some of the slowest cars ever made in near stock form, even with his mods i just dont see it beeing close, what does he have for gears? its not going to matter just asking. i have had a 4.6 before it took alot to get that thing moving.

You should be able to win pretty easy. My buddy had an 03 with an off road H pipe, cat back, intake, and gears I think. best I could get out of that car was 13.8. My 98 Camaro with full exhaust (mid length headers) and a lid I was going ~13.1-13.3 (couldnt launch it good, never better than a 2.0 60ft).
(both these cars were sticks.)

Not to mention my Camaro was prob trapping close to 7 mph more (~110mph to his ~102mph I think)

I think it depends on traction and the gearing in the mustang.

Your buddy's car was a pig or you're not including the fact the car had no traction off the line. A 13.8 (with a good launch) out of that car with those mods is pathetic. Auto or Manual?

Providing you don't have the horrid Auto gears (can't remember them exactly) you should edge him out. Going to go with it being mostly a drivers race, if you go long enough though even if you botch the launch you will still come around him.

the 60' was prob around a 2.0 and it was a 5 speed. Im guessing as to what the mph was but I cant be sure since it was so long ago.

Maybe your thinking of a Cobra cause a stock 03 GT with, an h pipe, cat back, cold air intake, and some 3:73's is a pig.

As I recall those GT's were a decent race for an LT1, not an Ls1.

I'm going to guess you're about 16-17, and your buddy a few years older. If he ran a 13.8 with a s/c, I'd say without it its a drivers race.

Not exactly 16 or 17 but you close... Anyways he ran a 13.8 W/o the supercharger gonna run him from a 30 roll tonight.

30mph in the ls1 camaro is about the top of first gear? [auto]

I heard that the 2000slp autos have a slightly higher gearing then the other automatic camaros.

If you're gearing let's your car downshift into first gear from a 30mph roll you should be good. If it hangs itself in 2nd gear, you will get your *** handed to you off the bat and won't have time to catch up.

I suggest you make sure you know what your car is going to do before hand otherwise you will give him an ego.
