First mustang gt kill!!
I see you added the Junkmaro to the sig Roe. haha I miss that old piece of crap. Those rims look very familiar too. hmmmmm I wonder where you got them. And don't put M5 above it, it was an auto.

i would go ls1, 5.0, then the lt1 .. now let me explain. Ls1 way to bad *** of a motor to not chose 1st. then 5.0 because there a dime a dozen and with a aluminum top end big cam and nitrous can be a monster to deal with due to the fact they dont weight much and they are cheap as hell to build.

If anyone says GT an immediate "any LSx will walk it" takes over the forum. My SS can't touch my 02 GT NOW. NO spray and no FI. Good suspension work and lots of practice at the wheel. 12.48 @ 109 to be exact. People think that once you buy a "fast Car" it will go as fast as Motor Trend said it will. All of the reports say an 00-04 GT will hit 14.0-14.1. MY first time out was a 14.8, and I thought that that was a good run while I was going down the track.
I can't see how a V-6 will see 230+ with no nitrous or blower. There is no such thing as a factory freak either. The tolerances are so tight that any error in production will be caught by the computer during testing and the engine will be disassembled. Factory freaks were in the 60's when most of the engine parts were still manually produced. So there goes that theory. So either the V-6 is FI or I call BS. P.S. I owned a 99 Z24 5m. No way even up to 60 will it even run with a well driven GT. But they are quick. I think that most of these races in the Kill section are pretty far fetched anyways. Like a good fishing story. Still fun to read though.
Kingsnake.....Your car should be in the 12's no problem. Keep practicing and they will come with the setup you have. Your 99 has the same motor as the Mach 1 ...they went 13.0-13.2 from the factory.

O wouldlnt go as far to say theres no such thing as a factory freak becuase i have seen one in person. My friend has a 03 GT which had a catback, h pipe, 4:10's (not that it matters) and a tune. With the tune and only those mods it put down 333 rwhp and 348 ftlbs. my car has more bolt ons and mods than that and after a stout tune it only made 294 rwhp and 337 ftlbs. thats freakish .

But it's off topic now anyways

I'm not calling you a liar. I'm saying something was up with the dyno. An LS1 with just exhaust would be lucky to pull those numbers. An N/A Cobra with those mods wouldn't pull those numbers. It is just simply not possible for a GT. That's like taking a stock Suburban to the dragstrip, having 13.7 show up on the clock, and believing it...

im telling you right now there was nothing up w/ the dyno. Dez spent 3 hours tuning the car because he couldnt beleive the numbers he was getting out of it. ( THIS IS WHAT DEZ DOES FOR A LIVING). When he tuned my car it took him about 45minutes to an hour.
