Default 99z28 vs 03gt

What better way to spend time between classes than studying...i mean street racing


55 roll, I went off his motor

25-30ish roll, i went off his motor and forgot how to shift

He had exhaust, 3.73's, few other bolt ons. Thanks to Andy (67SS&99Z28) for the vids and the race hookup.

As requested, divx codec:

First 2 links use divx version 4 codec, if you dont have it, here are quicktime mov formats

Yeah, I can't play the video either. Can you give a link for the right codec, or possibly host it somewhere else? (please) I can hear it, but can't see it.

He won the first race by what looked like 1.5 cars or so and lost teh 2nd one b/c he missed the 2-3 and let off before he pulled back. WOW!!! seems to me that I expected a LOT more out of the LS1, makes me want to run one in my 5.0 I'm curious now (I have yet to run an F-body car )

Nope...he won the first race, but not by a whole lot. Time for some
more mods!
...and maybe some driving lessons!

Thanks for posting up the vids. Good runs.

Thanks unit. I agree...time to put a cam back in. I blame the missed shift on the fact that I only drive my car once a week...oh well

The GT he raced was a five speed. It had 3.73s, bbk throttle body, offroad x-pipe, exhaust, and nittos. I was riding shotgun in the Z28, thats about 230 lbs of extra weight. The guy in the mustang was by himself and probably weighs all of 140. So weight was a big disadvantage for SidewayzOZ car. I wanted to ride in the stang and get some videos in it, but we ran out of time. Had to get back to class

Don't gauge your experience of the 4.6 off of an automatic example, they are complete dogs.

The 5-speed manual versions are much much quicker, so still no match for an LS1 stock for stock though

I have not ridden in a 5-spee 4.6 GT So i guess my input there is lacking, but yeah, yer right, from what i experienced myself, ford A4's feel like they use KY instead of tranny fluid....

The 2v 4.6 (99-04 GT's) I'm not a big fan of. The 3v 4.6 (05-06 GT's) & the 4v 4.6 (Cobra/Mach 1) however I like. I don't wanna start a big debate over this since it doesn't rely towards the thread starter, but I just saw that you said your not a big fan of the 4.6's, so I thought I'd share which 4.6's I am a fan of.
