Default 427 Mustang vs. Me

How bad would I lose to a Mustang with a "427R" in it if I had a 2000 Trans Am with headers, cat back, and Ypipe.

not sure what a 427R mustang is, what year? what kind of hp rating?

your car should be in the 12.8-13.2 bracket depending on trans, gears and driving skill.

The 427R is a Roush Mustang model. It is still the massive and crappy 4.6L w/ a some super cool kid FI. I think they suck but it would probably take a close to stock LS1 F-body. I think they are heavy but apparently they have "427" hp!!! Wouldn't lose by too much though I would guess. Never heard any times on them...

They have so many different "special edition" and tuner mustangs its hard to keep track of whats what. But one thing seems to stay common among them, unless its a terminator, a stockish LS1 isn't gonna have to many problems with a mustang.

Mustang Life has it doing the quarter at 13.3 & 108 in the article at

http://mustanglife.tenmagazines.com/...ticle&aid=3432

Also, a Stangnet says it puts down 365 rwhp and is traction limited to low 13s but capable of high 12s with stickies.

I would say that it is right on the money. That is about what are cars run except for the power. A few bolt ons more for the TA and it would have been embarrasing. There is a guy here that thinks his 427 is the ****, what ever, put a whipple or KB on it and then it will be the ****.

A 427R costs more than 45grand if you add the dealer ADM to it. I saw one for like 55 on ebay. Dudes that buy those must feel like turds when lightly modded LS1's that cost 14 grand hang with them. Then they race a vette and wonder why the **** they just spent all that coin.
