You should of lost, period. There are just pullied GT500's in the 10's, that GT500 could easily run bottom 11's with a mediocre driver and a set of drag radials.
Especially from a roll, you're down 150rwhp and like 180rwtq. Unless you have a ton of weight reduction, you shouldn't win against an equal driver.
sorry, 380rwhp is just nothing these days, you should sell your car.

good Kill OP. I've been out of the game for a minute but I didn't know the GT500 would dip into the 10's with just a pully swap!!! I'm assuming that's with exhaust and all or am I wrong lol? Either way I will be watching out for them this year lol.

Got an acquaintence who has a GT500KR that I've been bugging to run.
He declined until after he gets it pullied, tuned, and "other matching mods". $86,000 Mustang and the guy is worried a bolton GTO might actually beat him. beautiful car though, I'll give him that! 'cept those 20" rims arent helping the performance one iota.

Yes I probably should have lost. But it's a street race you idiot. Anything can happen. And I should sell my car? lol. you sound like a mustang owner or a jack off.. one of the two.
I was not expecting to win. I said he had a passenger(200+lbs) and he had just bought the car and it was his first real race. Traction was an issue with him too. I'm not acting like I can beat every pullied gt500 out there. Just a fun few races that i had last weekend.

Thanks guys. I'll try to get a video of a rematch when he gets some more seat time. Only next time i'll be in my racing shoes and some weight taken out.
When they bought the pulley, it was one of the steeda kits that came with a programmer already set. So it hasn't been dyno tuned. Still a fast car with awesome street manners so I'm sure the tune is pretty good.

I gotta say, I'm liking the gloss black wheels. I've been tearing my hair out trying to get my draglites to clean up and polish nice, but maybe I should just get the powdercoated!

Sorry for the delay, I was just giving you a hard time on the "you should sell your car" portion.
I do currently own a mustang, an 03 cobra, 465rwhp/542rwtq, standard bolton's with upper and lower pulley.
I have owned a 2000 z28 though, which is why I joined this forum years ago, also a 2006 mustang gt, I'm not really bias at all, just stating facts, if you noticed one of your own boys stated that he traps almost 120mph, makes more power than the OP and gets yanked by pullied GT500's, so take that for what it is.

The guy who posted that 10 second bullshit is obviously wrong. Sorry, but you aren't picking up 2 seconds simply by adding another 100rwhp! Not to mention all the suspension, rearend, and transmission mods it would take to make one of those things run 10's legitimately.

Most pullied stock blower GT500's run high 10's and low to mid 11's at 122-126mph. Don't know why the guy in the GT500kr would be afraid to race you unless he didn't know what a GTO was because he would obliterate your car if all you have is the mods in your sig.
Honestly, I think my next car will be an LS3 based Corvette, I'm not some fanboy, I love all fast cars on each side.

after a post like yours so these LS1 guys know you aren't that stupid. It took us stang owners a long time to get respect over here...don't be a tool.
Good kills OP. The bird is fuggin nice! Doesn't matter how much HP you make if you can't get it to the ground. GT500's are a bitch without DR's.

I'm glad you were joking about me selling my car.... cause I haven't lost to a pullied 03/04 cobra yet. But who knows... every car is different. Comparing a car's HP to another is the joke here. Like newskool said, HP doesn't matter unless you can stick it to the ground.

Of course you gotta get the power to the ground, all things aside, you must have not raced any pullied Cobra's, come on man, trapping 115 isn't going to beat most pullied Cobra's. In a 1/4 mile dig race it'd be pretty close as your setup fairly well it seems for that, but from a roll unless the person just misses a shift or truly can't drive you won't win, it doesn't make sense.
no doubt your car looks wicked and is pretty fast.
