i got a race on my way home from work today. The guy was cool about everything. We ran from 70mph both times, i let him take the hit and had prob 5-6 cars by 110 (end of 3rd). He seemed suprised by me pulling away. Im not sure on the exact year but it was the same body style as a 2001. gave him a thumbs up after and recieved one as well. i was suprised and figured it would be closer seeing as i only have a lid/catback/cutout for mods. I raced another mustang gt of the same bodystyle and could only pull 1-2 cars in a similiar race. is this typical? thanks

 

one had mods one didnt, an sn95 mustang gt is lucky to trap 100mph. somewhere maybe 102. they arent fast cars at all but ood kill, at least he was cool about it.

 

DANG....LS T56s hit 110 in third? Didn't know that.


Nice kills OP.

 

yup 110 is somewhere around 6000 i believe in third. i think my car runs pretty good. so far the other 2 z28/ss i have raced i beat. 1 had full exhaust and 1 was same mods as mine i believe but they were both autos. those races were from about 20-30mph up to 100mph and i had probably about 2-3 cars on them atleast. I have a check engine light on now though because of my clutch sensor need to fix it. thanks for the comments

 

Good kill. It's possible that the last one was a 5 speed and was already in the proper gear, and this one was an auto that had to downshift itself. That auto downshift is like giving the other car a 1-2 car headstart depending on the car.

 

one could have had non pi heads and the other pi heads...lot of factors...but you won so good kill and yes its typical to beat any near stock 99-04 GT with your mods

 

Not sure if anyone has ever swapped non PI heads onto a PI motor...if they have I can't see what the reasoning would be.

 

im pretty sure this mustang i just raced was a stock or exhaust only 5sp. The other mustang was very close like 1-2 cars up to 120mph and im guessing he was running a 75 shot or so. thanks!

 

I thought they were both modded about the same, but if you're not sure on the mods then mods will most likely make up the difference between the two.

 

good kill!

 

FYI - 99-04 are all PI.


(96-98 are non-pi)

 

Did you raise your rev limiter? Factory is 6K and 3rd tops at 103mph in stock form.

 

Mine does. Actually I get about 120.

 

thats news to me..but thanks...for some reason I thought I remembered someone saying 2001-2004 were the PI headed stangs

 

redline starts at 5.5kon the tach but my limiter doesnt kick in til 6000 i believe, dont spin it that high very often. Its stock as far as i know...i havent messed with anything except cutout wheels/tires

 

What gears you have?

 

Starts at 6K?? I have 50+ passes with many rev limiter hits trying to shift at the 6K mark... sorry that doesn't add up. The GTO LS1 redline was 6300rpm.. otherwise your tach is either screwed up or you have some kind of tune done done.

 

stock gears. i bought the car with 29k miles last january...i could be wrong ill go check in a minute atthe tach

 

Ok so i just had a retarded moment. redline starts at 5500 andlimiter is at 6k sorry guys just got confused i do most of my shifting around 5800

 

It's all good bro... You had me confused!! haha
