Dissapointed With the 4.6 again...
I was riding with one of my buddies at the local hangout in his stang (cold-air and 4.10, hedman LT's,x-pipe,flows, are his mods) He was looking for a race and we talked a stock lt1 with a shift plus into racing. So when the light changes we had the lead for about 2 seconds ... the lt1 ran off and left us by about 5-6 cars before we had to slow down...im glad i wasnt driving because it was embarassing. Should his car be faster or is it just possible the lt1 had more than what he said?

If it was a 96-98.. He would get romped because they are only rated at 225 HP, and I promise they aren't underrated.
I am surprised if it was a 99+ He could of been a bad driver along with no traction maybe?

yeah, if it was a 96-97 GT, a stock LT1 F-body wouldnt have much of a problem beating it. Ive seen V6 F-bodys with basic bolt on's & 70 shot walk away from a 96 GT with exhaust & gears.
96 was the first and worst year for the 4.6 mustangs.

I'm not sure about the 96-98 GT's, but I drove a friends '97 Cobra (I think that was the year )...anyway, I couldn't believe how pathetic it was. He bought a '01 WS6 next. I asked him which felt faster. He said they were about the same. I think he was trying to save face with the stang.

I got to drive a new 05 GT and it seemed just as slow as a v6 mustang to be...but thats because im use to driving my 500+hp mustang
