Hell, my X-pipe/exhaust '98 GT stayed a car behind two LT1s from 40-110mph. BEFORE I did the PI intake/cam swap. But there's no way I would claim that car was as fast as an LT1. And it's fairly known and accepted that LT1 F-bodies (with the exception of the 96-97 SSs that people love to bring up) generally run dead-nuts with 99-04 GT 5spds.

You and Nacho SS need to get a debate team together.

I am first to admit my stock 2v GT isn't anything scary. It's a daily driver I picked up for nothing. I don't think I acted like I had anything fast. Cause I don't
Then why are people (Regulars that know what they are talking about) in here agreeing with me?
I am all for someone debunking anything I have to say. A good debate if you will. But all a few of you flunkies are doing is posting lame ad-hominem attacks. Redfire, how many times have you been busted for acting like this?
I mean it just makes those that know what they are talking about
for you.

2 valve vs lt1 is an extremely close race. owners of either cars can make valid arguments as to which is faster. I used to own an LT1 fbody and only raced one 2valve GT and i won but it was an extremely close race. Mine was an auto though, not sure what the GT was. The dude i beat swore up and down on the mustang boards that i was the first LT1 to beat him. On that run i pulled a 13.9@101 with intake and cutout & 2.73's .i dont know what his mods were if any.

It's a small percentage of a long run of cars. They were made from 1993-1997, included Z28s, Formulas, Trans Ams, and then right there at the end there were a few SSs tossed in for good measure. It's accepted that the SS cars are the fastest, and ran 13.6-13.7s... which means that the other cars (ie; the VAST majority) do not.

What a lame excuse.
