Default My stock 99 T/A vs Mustang GT [New Edge]

Well i picked up my new 99 T/A yesterday and I ran into a buddy of mine with like a 02 GT mustang. Mind you that mine is stock to the filter [at least thats what i think]. So we get to a stop light and the light goes green and we go.. I take him off the line and just keep pulling and pulling.. I was shocked! [This is my first ls1 car]

A stock GT only puts down 230rwhp and between 240-250rwhp with bolt ons, there slow..... You got him covered by a quite a bit even being stock.

Nice kill!

Hey man, if this was you first car...then what are all these in your sig?

By the way......the longer you drive your TA....you'll learn that a stock GT mustang of pretty much any year....is minced meat for the ol' F-Body LS1.
When they mod the GT's the race get's a littler more fun.

I think he said the payments were too much in his introduction thread so he sold/traded it for the T/A.....

Nice kill man... I hope you are enjoying the LS1!!!!

He said he traded it in, even showed pics. The only fun part about beating modded GT's is they are so upset they spent so much money on mods and got beat by a stock TA! Its sad I dont even consider GT's competition anymore, none of em want to go anyway. I was side by side one tonight and he lurched, so did I (my front end raised up pretty good) and then he didnt wanna do anything, turned at a light
