Default Re: 02 Mustang GT vs 02 Trans am the race

when my car was bone stock, I raced a 5-sp 02 GT @ RT66 raceway with my buddy in the car. The stang didn't lose, he got WALKED. To make it close I probably would have had to give him 2-4 lengths from a dig on the street, and I'd probably still be confident...

Kid w/ TA: Practice, practice, practice! Launch the car at 1500 RPM, put your foot on the floor, shift at 5500 (so if you miss a shift it won't go too far over 6000rpm), put your foot on the floor, shift at 5500, stand on it again- now you WIN.
ask any one that saw the race
i was driving like a madman and I HIT EVERY GEAR so dont give me that bull ****

he is a good driver and his car has been known to smoke a few ls1s, and also robert we were even just about the hole time

and i think my car is messed up cause the ls1 is soppose to pull in 3rd and it wasnt, any ideas

You probably didnt launch good....if youve only been driving a week, youve got a lot to learn. Even with you not-so-hot dyno, you still should be 50hp over whatever a stock GT should pull.

When my 99 Camaro was bonestock with 400 miles I ran a 13.2. The next run I missed 3rd gear and still ran a 13.8 @ HRP....Even if the TA can't drive he should still win the race.
I raced what looked to be an '01 or '02 GT on my first pass ever. I missed 3rd also and still beat him by a couple of car lengths. Crappy driver F-Bod will win no problem (and yes, I consider myself a crappy driver).

bwaaa ha ha ha!

I'd like to see the mustang driver behind the wheel of the TA..just to see what the TA is really capable of. You guys could pull the switch..Hell, maybe dad could drive. I used to beat my brother's M6 LT1 in my car, and then beat my LS1 in my brother's LT1..back to back, switching drivers. It was funny.

You just got your license and you're doing this? Wow..off to a fast start. You kids be careful..**** happens. Don't kill yourselves.
