Had a run against a last gen firechicken I got to run up against a last gen and was wondering what type of motor does it have?
The mods that the car had intake and aftermarket mufflers driven by a incredibly hot female! (drools)
The car instantly pulled half a car length on me (manual). My jaw dropped and was like i lost but with my peddle to the floor i slowly caught up the the passenger door and by 146km i pulled just a nose infront.
Overall im happy i was even able to keep up! sadly i had to do twice as many mods just to keep up. I want a corvette now! lol
Wondering if anyone else has had runs against other fbodys and how did you do?
Mods:
DIY Intake
Shift Kit
Trifecta Tune
trans cooler
flipped motor mount
exhaust with catless DP/No Res

Yea i've had some runs with a couple of them. Lost one by a fender, and won one by about 1/2 car length. Lost when my car was stock, won with just my exhaust and intake.

Last gen had LS1s, the previous had LT1.
Had run-ins with both,
stock LT1 Bird didn't put up a fight at all,
LS1 Bird with at least exhaust work, I got the jump of about a fender length and pulled slowly til 100, when he started reeling me back in,
and got destroyed by an SLP Camaro that I later found out runs 11s from a friend, don't know the mods.
If it weren't for TapShift, I wouldn't have done so well.

lol, not going to happen. There are three different gearing setups you can get with them. M6 3.42, A4 3.23, and A4 2.73. The manuals will be hitting top of second. Then again the 2.73 autos will do 100 in second gear just like yours.

Theirs a lot of bolt on fbodys floating around my area. Honestly it just might be my city but they have a stick up there *** lawlz. Ive only been able to convince two to run me. a stock Lt1 corvette which i beat the owner was like wth! lol and a Lt4 with complete bolt ons...man that thing was sick it kept a whole car on me all the way i just couldnt get any ground back.
On a side note every time they see a mustang there like GAME ON!
I hang with the dodge crew way more laid back here

I cant believe howmany people out there think im rocking a 3.8 supercharged. not dissing a 3.8 cause they can get sick with some mods. But 90 percent of peeps think my badge is a trim kit option.

I get that too, always ask "Is that thing supercharged?" I say, 'no,' and they ask "So you put a body kit on a little N/A 3.8L?" They also ask about how I made a V6 sound like a V8, keep in mind I have straight to mufflers, I just tell them I spent 2000 dollars on a custom exhaust system, some believe me some don't.
In their defense, there're only about 60-65K LS4 powered cars produced, from '05-'09.

I haven't gotten ANY 94-04 Stangs to run. I've ran a couple 05+ and they get me up top. But after porting the intake and hopefully headers that'll be cured.

94-98s are ridiculously slow, lol, 99-04s are closer.
My best 'Stang kill was an 05-09. The guy has his GF in the car with him, started trash talking, so I said ok I'll honk 3 times, I opened my cutout and looked over and he's like WTF. Got up to 40 in 1st, 3 honks, and I destroyed him, I slowed down and glanced over to see his GF laughing her *** off and he looked so ***-whipped.
I race a lot, always on wide open 2 lane highways, nowhere near any towns or cities, before anyone gets on my case.

I don't have problems with 2v of any year. lol Stock 3v are still right behind me. It may be my mods but I beat a intake/P&P heads/LTs/Exhaust/4.10s/Nitto 555r's/stage 2 clutch/ram air hood 04 GT and I was still on the stock tires. They really aren't as quick as people make them out to be.

ive never seen the 2v 4.6 mustang in stock trim run a 13. the ls4 vs and ls1 the ls4 should lose by a wide margin from a dead stop. i think an ls1 car with no type of gearing from a roll would be a better match up but once again the ls4 should lose. all and all though the hp is in favor of the ls1 on top of being able to launch harder. its not really a fair match up a stock 2v 4.6 vs a stock ls4 the hp difference is big. ive beaten a few. with some gearing though they make up for the horse power difference and hold there own better but even then they should still lose. and i believe 94-96 was the 5.0. and i personally feel that 5L is the quicker car if the same bolt ons are thrown at it not including a blower. this is all just my opinion.
