the epic runs with me and the wife! (vids) Well we finally got a few runs in tonight.....mine is the 04 mustang gt vert (e-mail tune, intake, exhaust, udp's, aluminum drive shaft, 4.10's, short-throw shifter), and the wife's is an 06 gxp (HP dyno-tuned, intake, exhaust). All runs were from a 15mph roll.....thanks to the wifey for video-taping while racing! All races were run in Mexico on a closed course

Her car seems to be a lil stronger than the Stang. The second one it looks like she slept, and the third she was gaining pretty good up top. Your wife is a badass for recording and driving.

up top i def agree, next time im going to try and powershift and also wanna get a dig as well, also 410 gears equal no top end (especially at the top of 4th), but as you can see they make a good difference down low and having a roll cage and convertable doesnt help to much lol. but none the less i think they where some good runs
ps on a side note its funny its seems every fast car that i race always starts to come back in the middle of my 4th gear, its weird. I ran a jeep srt8 with a tune and intake last night from a 15mph roll, and the results where similar, i got out on him a little better but at the end of 4th (110mph) he was starting to come back lol

Definitely some good runs. I ran a buddy of mines 04 GT with similar mods as yours, and it was a close one. From 25-30ish to just over 100 he got me by less than a fender.

nice. the best mod for these cars is 410 gears, id rather be quicker down low, was your buddies gt a hard top or vert, because there is a 130-150 lb weight difference if i remember correctly

His was a hardtop, he ran 13.1 @ 108, but was a nice cold night. Usually ran 13.3-13.4 @ 103-104. He sold it a couple months ago, and the new owner ran 14.5 @ 103 lol

Get a passenger to record, so she can focus on handing you your ***! LOL
You need a passenger to make the weight even though!
What tires are both of you running?

From a dig if you get a decent launch I think you'll jump far enough to win.
