Coming home from work saw a silver ls2 gto. Guy got up next to me with no traffic in front of us and I looked over and he was pretty old. He just rolled by me and didnt look over so I figured nothing would happen. We ran into a light with one car in front of us me behind him in the right lane. Light turned green he goes around the car in front of us when he can, gets into the left lane and punches it. By the time I get around the car and hit it he has a 4-5 car lead on me and the hit. Think it was about 50-55 I wasnt really looking but I know the car went down to 2nd. By 125ish I was passing him in the right lane and he let off. Pretty sure it was bone stock(very quiet) and a manual(saw a puff of smoke between shifts) but not sure since I wasnt paying him any attention after he didnt jump the first time. He seemed to be shifting it decently. Good way to start the weekend.

 

When did you get the 5.0? Is it stock? Should put it in your sig and delete that "1992 Mustang GT" . . .

Nice kill btw: was there a chance that he let up then got back on it when he realized you were WOT chasing him? I've done that before. Not that I think a stock GTO is gonna run door to door with a new stock 5.0, but 4-5 cars AND the hit is quite the power differential.

 

Nah not really. The OP was probably only 1/2 throttle, anymore would have tilted the earths rotation and caused a cataclysmic event.

Im just joking but making up 5 cars and the hit in that small amount of time isnt normal.

 

This guy and his 5.0 humor. Makes my day.

 

Got it about 3 weeks ago. It is an auto and I do have a tune on it. I dont think he got off it bc it was a steady pull on him till the end when I know he let off. Once we hit above 100 I was pulling pretty strong. I could have misjudged the 4-5 and maybe it was 3-4. I was pretty excited as it was unexpected since he didnt bite earlier. I wasnt right on his *** when he changed lanes and hit it so it was at least 3-4. 4-5 cars from 50-125 seems about right to me. 0-75 I would guess I would be ahead by 3ish and the higher speed rolls probably favors my car.

 

It's not funny. It could actually happen.

 

no comment....this otta be good.

 

Good run op. Too bad you couldn't get a real good run in with said car to see how much you beat him by.

 

5.0's are nasty, but stock c5 z06's with drivermod will **** them up.

 

NO effin' way man. Jk.. I wonder though? hmmm.

edit: anyone have a stockish c5 Z to run one of these suckers? That I'd really like to see

 

Changed my sig. I'm going to the track tomomrow hoping for mid 12s.

 

Well hope in one hand and **** in the other........see which gets full first!
















LOL.. No no, I'm joking man I'm interested to see what you run though dude . Give us some details on what you're driving (gears etc?)


*although I'm saddened by your getting rid of a G8, I'm sure you'll be happy with your selection. Let us know how they compare if you get the time.

 

Oh noes not the stock C5Z. Please don't unleash the beast on a lowly mustang. The ensuing rapture would be horrifying.

 

any pic's of the new mustang???

 

 

Good killl. Stupid GTO owner prolly thought he was GONE after his 5 car lead. Mustang reeled him in easy though!

 

Lmao. Hey man, on a more serious note though...you're on LS1 tech here, so you really shouldn't add blasphemy about the Z Lol jk. But it really is the most interesting and significant addition to the performance car world this millenium, imo! It really got **** goin' in the industry, and still gets **** going imo. But... who would have ever thought it would come to a lowly 5.0 being compared to it lol. These coyotes really rolled out the red carpet, and we have to see the major way Ford stepped **** up here. I'd love to grab an unmolested black c5z though

In reality though....(you knew it was coming...)- how would a stock ls2 goat typically run against a stock '11 GT with the better gears? Just curious what we're looking at here is all.

 

Mines an auto they all come with 3.15's no option for different gears from the factory. It ran 12.90 @ 111 stock with 300 miles in 800' da a few weeks ago. I've since added a tune. He definately wasnt the best driver or it was an auto. No chirps or hard shifts from the GTO.

 

Oh ok I gotcha. You tune that baby up and you're going to be further into the twelves than that for sure then. Damn.

 

you forgot to mention your full tank of gas
