So my best friend traded in his lifted 98 tahoe for a vert 02 gt today. It is an m5 and bone stock. I have a 2000 SS, A4, slp dual/dual, slp lid, on bald tires. So after watching the UFC fight tonight (any fans?) we went out to cruise around. Eventually we lined up from a dig and I told him he could count from 3. He punched it about .5sec before me and dropped the clutch at around 4K(good tires)...I power braked to like 1600, that is all my shitty tires will hold. Well obviously he had about half a car on me right from the start. I slowly pulled on him through first and as I shifted into second I pulled like a foot in front of him. Through second I continued to slowly pull and at about 75mph he was about a car length behind me and we shut down.

I guess it is a kill, but does this sound right to yall? I really thought I would pull him harder than that...? Im kinda worried...should I be..

btw, I sea foamed my car last night and I am still using that gas, that wouldn't make a difference would it?

I think you should have pulled harder, although him getting the jump may have been what kept you not so far ahead. The seafoam probably had nothing to do with it.

If you would have keep going from 75+ it would have got alot worse for him. also him getting that good jump didn't help you much

agreed. mustangs die on top end due to the combination of our awesome flowing heads and their shitty aerodynamics - physics 101

also i bet you have 2.73's (i hope you do because i do and my cousin just bought an '02 gt). if you had optional 3.23's you woulda really kicked his ***.

I think auto SS's came with 3.23'...it's an option on Z's.

You should have pulled him a lot harder then that IMO...even if he has full bolt-ons. The GT being a vert adds a good amount of weight...and stock they only have 265 at the crank. But if you were burning 1-2nd then yea that sounds about right...spinning isn't winning.

I dont think headflow really matters that much. I flow 200cfm @ .550 and the LS1's get at least 255. Yet I have pulled an A4 LS1 from 75-105. Anywho, that DOES SOUND ODD for a STOCK mustang to pull that, especially a vert.


(Yes headflow matters, but so do other things).

lol....your car runs fine man...he got a big jump on him and by 75 you had pulled him down...and these cars really shine up high...the higher you wouldve went the worse it would have been for him...ive seen many gt's hang close through the 1/8th but after that its lights out for stock ones or just bolt on ones!!! good kill

Weird, same thing happened last night to a guy I know in an M6 Z28. He raced a Mustang GT.. and won by a car and a half. Very weird because I raced the same Mustang GT the week before and I completely raped him. I even posted the video

yea your right, I have 3.23's and I spun pretty bad but I was still kinda disappointed. Next time we will go to at least 100, hopefully then I will be happier at the end of the run.

btw, thanks for all the input guys.

That's a wierd run.. I've spanked (bad...) every 99-04 I've raced...

jpat1023

Well, thats what I was thinking...I am on this site like 24/7 and i have never read a race where an ls1(light modded) only pulled one car on a stock gt. Thats why am concerned.

btw, I just obdII scanned my car and I am throwing 3 codes right now. P0157, P0420, and P0137. I know that they have to do with the cats and rear O2 censors. Could this have effected my run??? I don't think so, since the rear O2's are only to verify the cats are working, but if I have a clogged or crappy cat, could that have something to do with the shitty race results...?

An SES light will make your car run rich due to running off a preprogrammed table in the computer - or at least that's the way it works on my '97 with OBD2

Get the car tuned to get rid of that dreaded SES light and put a stall in the car. Everytime your car shifted it had to work it's way back up into the powerband.

Your car is not running right if you beat a stock GT by only 1 car.
It should be more like 3-4 even with an A4.

But is your car an A4 with 2.73's??

96formular

That definately doesnt sound right, i raced an 2000+ m5 gt with full exaust and pulled about 2 cars just to ~70 (from a roll it was even worse).
Probably because you spun,
even with your gears you shouldve done better.

?? Guys it was only to 75 mph. Thats less then a 1/8th mile run. he was caught sleeping and the GT got a good jump, and he ran him down and put a car on him at 75 I would think his car runs ok.. If it was only a car to say 95-100 and he got a good launch then i would think his car wasn't running right.

no, it's a bolt on M6 with 3.42s. Even when i was bone stock i had no problems with those mustangs.

iirc i spanked a mustang hard in my old '94 as well, it was an a4 with 3.23s (before the 4.10 swap).

im not sure man, ive pulled GTs all the way to 50 in my bolt on v6... you should have a full second + on him down the 1/4, maybe ure car needs a tune up or somethin...or try takin it to the strip and see if you can run mid 13s

oop sorry i didn't realize it was an SS when i wrote that
