My 01 ss vs. 1999-04 gt 5-speed Well I was on my way back from circuit city last night when a black 5-speed mustang GT that was super loud got on my tail. He proceeded to do about 5 fly-bys to me but I couldn't do anything because I was stuck behind traffic. So finally we get towards the edge of town and I get next to him doing about 45 mph. I was kind of worried because I had only been driving a stick for a little over a week now, and as loud as his car was I wasn't sure what was done to it.
We were sitting there pacing each other at about 45 mph so I dropped it down into 2nd and was gonna go for the 3-honk deal. Well after the first honk he took off so I did too. I instantly started gaining on him even though he got the jump. By the time I shifted into 3rd I was about a fender ahead then I pulled a couple cars in 3rd and slowed down.
So we get up to a stop light and he's like "hey nice car what do you have done to it?" I said "It's stock for now because I just bought it last week." And it looked like someone just kicked him in the ***** lol. He said he had headers, catback, cai and a couple other minor bolt-ons.
My car is a 2001 ss 6-speed.

2V's will wake up with a set of 4.10's or 4.30's Full exhaust and a decent DR. Seen a few GT's run 12.9's with just 4.30's, a DR, O/R midpipe, catback and some suspension work.
However, give the LS1 some mods and it's over.

I ran a 02 GT 5-speed with CAI/Cat-back (or mufflers, not sure) and from 40 he got the hit and by 100 there were 2 cars worth of daylight between our bumpers I guess that is 4 cars? (1 from me being beside him, 2 between us, and 1 to put him beside me again?)
Sounds about like how I did. My car runs normal *yay*
