LS1 A4 vs 5 speed 3V Mustang GT
#21
You guys talk like 80 to 130 is the same as 40 to 90. It takes quite a bit longer to go from 80 to 130. Which is why i was able to pull so many cars on him. I'm in the power band for much longer at those speeds. Had we gone to 150 i probably would have put another 5-6 cars on him. I like how it's really only mustang owners that are doubting this, go figure...
And yes F8L BYT 3V's are slow, considering i used to beat up on them in my GTP lol. Which had a mild cam, headers, pulley, tune...but still didn't have the top end power of this LS1.

Yes it did happen. Why would he, or anyone for that matter, race me to 130 mph for no reason, or without trying? And inside the city limits? He was doing probably between 120 and 125 mph when i reached 130. No one goes that fast at part throttle lol. Especially not after they were just taunting me to race. I also seen him shift from 3rd to 4th with his exhaust roaring. And no it was not a V6 mustang, it said GT right on the ride. I wouldn't even bother with a V6 no matter how cocky he was. Unless it was a newer V6 that has 300+ HP.

Really you don't have much more power then say the 3v did. Being a auto and with just a lid and with slp exhaust is that just cat-back or full exhaust. I gave you props on the kill but, it just seems kinda hard to believe. Anything can happen but from that high of a roll all he had to do was a 3rd to 4th shift so shouldn't have missed it. If you think 3vs are slow I'd be more then happy to run you.

Haha ricer that would stomp your car. My car stock made 275hp 284tq on dyno day while a stock 99 t/a made 299hp n I forget what tq. Not near enough power to pull 8 cars in that amount of time. Your car would have to be one heck of a factory freak. Maybe you were exaggerating alittle on the lengths.

And No I'm not exaggerating at all. I pulled at least 7 lengths on him. Here are some videos that suggest that my car really is a factory freak.
My car vs a modded SRT-4

And here's a video of that same SRT-4 vs a 342 rwhp LS1 with LT's, stall, ORY, lid, tune, 3.73 gears, SLP maf ect... My car pulled about the same on that SRT-4 as the 342 rwhp LS1.

So you now think that your stock-stall 3.23-geared catback/lid car pulls about the same as a stalled/geared/full-exhaust car? Right... that's right up there with those 240-250rwhp intake/full exhaust Mustang GTs
#31
Did you even watch the videos, moron? I also know a guy that had a cammed 2V GT with full exhaust that only put down 283 whp.

Both of you raced the same turbocharged 4cyl FWD 5spd car and got similar results... that does not necessarily mean that you would perform similarly against each other. Cams don't do very much to 2V GTs. Generally 10-20rwhp until you get into the very aggressive grinds, and ported heads.
#33
LOL @ a cam only adding 10-20 whp. Who the hell would go to all the trouble of a cam swap just for a lousy 15 whp?? My mild cam that i put in my GTP added 35 whp. That's only a V6. What exactly are you smoking? The fact that i had similar results as a 342 rwhp LS1 does mean that my car runs very hard for as little as it has done to it. And is probably a factory freak. I also put 3 cars on a 280 whp LT1 from 40 to 80, and he also had a lot better gearing (6 speed w/3.73's).

You obviously know nothing about Mustangs, which is cool. But stop acting like you know what you're talking about. My bolt-on GT put down 267rwhp. My best friend's GT put down 265rwhp with basically the same mods. A GT similar to mine, but with longtubes and a mail-order tune IIRC (same day) put down 280/312. But yet you NEVER see bolt-on/cammed 2V GTs over 300rwhp without headwork or fairly aggressive grinds. Why do you think that might be? Oh yeah, it's because CAMS DON'T ADD THAT MUCH TO 2V 4.6 GTs. Not a hard concept to grasp. And there really aren't "factory freaks." If you car put down 320rwhp I'd be impressed, you have a stock stall, and stock gears. You are not going to be as fast as a properly-driven full exhaust/stalled/geared car. Again, not a hard concept.

You aren't exactly too high up on the totem pole either . And considering that the SRT-4 was already a car ahead of the 342rwhp Camaro before his car even downshifted, driver definitely plays a part.
#37
Are you really that blind that you cannot see that once both mine and the other camaro got into their power bands, they were pulling about the exact same on that SRT-4? Not a hard concept to grasp here!
#40
So you pulled 3 cars starting even with a 280hp car that weighs the same as a Gt. Yet, you pulled 7-8 cars on a car making almost the same power and had the hit. Maybe he seen you coming fast and downshifted trying to stop your pull but couldn't.
