1 liter How does the LT1 stack up against a 4.6 modular mustang 99+? (1.1 liter diffrence) 15 hp diffrence, their ligher too I think. How many have had an 'encounter' with one?

yeah those 4.6 2V engines arent all that great. i saw one race my friends bolt ons and cam 98 camaro, the mustang had a supercharger supposidly a built motor, and methanol injection. my friend was pulling away until he hit the meth
Stock one though...POOP. They are weak.

OMG, im sorry guys but this is just terrible. Okay, a real perspective on mustang GTs vs F-bodies
LT1 vs 94-98 GT = LT1 wins by A LOT
LT1 vs 99-04 GT = Drivers Race, either one can win
LT1 vs 05+ GT = GT will win
LS1 vs 05+ GT = LS1 usually but close enough that can go either way
Average 1/4 mile times
LT1 = 14.0
LS1 = 13.2
94-98 GT = 14.8
99-04 GT = 14.0
05+ = 13.5
EDIT: These are all stock times of course

05+ is a much better race, and I would consider that a drivers race.

I raced a 07 GT when all I had was a cold air and I beat him by more then a car. Explain that MR. This = this. Last edited by Elliott's94Z; Oct 6, 2008 at 09:25 AM.
They are pretty sad all across the rev range. I have taken my fair share down even with my old bolt on TPI. The Mach 1's aren't anything great either. I had one barely pull away from my auto LT1 from a roll. If I had my current Z with the T56 it would have been a draw.
i agree with elliot on this one, ive beaten a 06 5 speed stang on the highway from about 60-90 and i had about a half car and this was when i had my cold air intake and under drive pullies A4 with 3.23's
I used to drive a 97 non-pi mustang gt. All that was done to it was o/r x-pipe and catback exhaust...with a 75-shot i stayed right next to a lt1 camaro with longtubes and ported heads
So no cam with the ported heads?? Who does that...lol. The 97 is weak and I would be surprised to see one hang with a bolt on LT1 even with the Stang spraying...but who knows. W/O the juice it would have got lit up like the 4th of July!
Saw an 06 at the track that was running mid 14.s at about 100mph with a few bolt ons(intakes exhaust etc.) there also was and 04 with some bolt ons and 4.10s. he was running mid 14.s also, but was trapping about 98mph . Im a 96 Formula WS6 M6 stock with a cat back went 13.90 at 101.5. My best Mph was 102

lol My STOCK 91 TPI, w/ only a 58mm TB (stock intake setup, only mod was I cut the air 'can' way open for more air), AFPR, a tune by ME (my first tune ever) , cat-back and a built trans. I beat many 4.6 mustangs. This was before the new body style, so I can't say on them.
This just happened an hour ago. A bubby of mine who has an 07 mustang with CAI, LT's, ORX, flowcrappers, and a tune, 5spd car. We went to eat and Project Cheap A** LT1 off the spray pulled him by 1 car from a dead stop little shy of a quarter (maybe 10-15ft). LT1 pulled away hard 1st and 2nd gear buy 3 cars. But the trans just doesnt pull hard in 3rd for some reason. So the mustang did catch up but only 1 car length and stop catching. So there. And if any of you dont know about Project Cheap A** LT1:
94Z
181,xxx miles
A4 built 4l65e factory stall
3.42's
52mm tb
shorty headers
ORY
Hooker catback
My special TunerCat tune.
Does have nitrous and stand alone fuel but relay is bad so there was no chance of spray until its fixed.
I mean I have less than $3000 in the car with the mods, and it just took an 07 Mustang. Cost for cost, mod for mod LT1 > 05+mustang
