Any stone stock GXP trying to race a WS6 is a retard. Stick to picking on 2V or late 90's to early 4V non S/C Cobras.

No GXP is going to outrun a 4v Mustang.

Stock for stock would actually be a pretty good race.

LS4's can run low 14's-high 13's stock or lightly modded and that's pretty normal. Stock for stock, that's a fair race for LT1 cars and faster than the typical 96-04 Mustang GT's.

Once you start modding, the advantage obviously goes to the RWD car that doesn't have a Lesabre transmission.

That's cool and all, but what does that have to do with anything?

96-04 GTs are 4Vs now?

285/40/18 Nitto NT555R's on a Enkei 18x9.5 wheel with GTO spring blocks in the rear. I roll into the throttle, and mash it after 5K. It either hooks, or spins. I would like to use a slick, but it's driven to the track and back home this way. Pure street, minus the missing headlight (the intake sucked it through the engine)

You must be talking about the new 5.0

This was my car back in 07 all stock.





A few notes to keep all of you haters away..
The Black car was not a GT350 and the red Mustang beat me the 2nd time around.

All the LS4 needs, is a LS6 intake to run low 13's. The factory intake necks down to 54mm to clear the OPSU sensor. Best bang per buck, and it's a factory part.

Source/write up? I have a coworker with one and I'm sure he wouldn't mind a quick/cheap upgrade like that.
