Default Lol mustang owners

Theres this guy that goes to my college, he has a brand new Mustang GT and he is always talking crap about my ps1, thats his little knick name for my LT1. So I finally got the chance the other day I pulled up behind his car at a stop sign and revved, he looked back and hit it, so what did I do, haha I caught him and passed him, hahahaha

yeah its always a great feeling to bring a mustang owner back to reality..... 4.6< LT1 I just love how most people under estimate the LT1 so much, and usually have no idea what they are talking about.

People act like there's a 300hp difference between LT1 and LS1.

The 98 Cobras were overrated from the factory. My near stock Z beat a 98 Cobra pretty badly.

That's awesome. I used to own a 1995 GT. And needless to say it was soooo slow. My bolt-on LT1 Camaro ran 2 seconds faster in the 1/4 mile than my Mustang. Nice kill story though.

You should tear a 98 cobra up. I have never raced one but I have raced the 305 hp Mach 1's. They loose to my automatic POS everytime.

And I haven't even installed my nitrous yet.

I also had a 1995 GT before this car. It was horribly slow. It was a little more comfortable to drive sometimes but sucks everywhere else. And it got worse gas mileage too. Not sure why but it did.

i love my new trans am. but i pulled and beat on plenty of lt1's with my full boltons, gears drag radials 04 gt without the nitrous. i beat plenty of ls1's without and with my nitrous. they arent bad cars. i know because you own a chevy/pontiac you hate on ford, same with people that own fords. but they both are respectable, both have they downfals/advantages.

I used to bash on Fords when I drove a 1995 Mustang GT. Owning it made me realize how slow and ghey the car was. Mustang guys would get upset when I talked crap until I told them I drove one. They kinda had the "oh he knows" look on their faces after that.

a 95 gt is nothing like the 99-04 gts, 05+ gts. its comparing a pushrod motor to a newer 4.6. i admit the 97-98 gt's are slow because they dont have the pi heads or cams that ford put in, in the newe models. but you cant make a judgment from just driving one old mustang. i know for a fact a bolt on 99-04 with gears, it will be a good race for a bolt on lt1. so what is the argument here?

I think a lot of these Mustang owners see the spec of their motors but fail to realize that just motor power and not to the wheels. I had a cpl talking **** too and owned every ****** one of them homo's.

Might be a dumb question, but does anyone know what the actual HP Rating on the LT1 motor was. I'd always been told it was pretty under rated @ 275.
