stock LT1 beats lightly modded 95 mustang GT I raced one of my friends today just to see who has the faster car. I have a stock 1996 Z26 M6, and my friend has a 95 GT with a CAI and a true dual setup.
We decided to just go from a 10 roll since he doesn't have any sort of posi. He jumped out to a small lead of about a car or two. He held that until about 70 when I made that up plus about another 2-3 cars by the time I shut it down at 110. I'm sure I would have continued to put a few more cars on him, so there was no point in going much faster.
He's probably a better driver than I am, but his car just doesn't have the power.
His car has inspired me to get an exhaust setup, though.

Nice run, but Mustangs come with true duals from the factory...so I guess he just has some aftermarket mufflers. And I have a 94 GT with a CAI and weld in flows. The car is so slow I wanna puke.

good kill to the OP. beating a mustang always gives your ego a boost. i had to turn down a race with a saleen on wednesday. it was the '02-'04 body style, completely blacked out (tinted), and we were at a red light with no cars in front of us or around us at all with at least a mile of straight road ahead...but i was making an inspection trip for work and had to make the turn coming up
i was so upset...he took off too after pacing me to 20 mph

yeah the 94-95 computers suck and mods dont help alot i know
my 95 has everything i mean everything and it on a 150 shot is a good race for my bolt on ls1.and the ls1 is a lil faster.your buddy is crasy about the 250 rwhp try 190 being generous.my bro in law had a 95 cobra with a b303 cam and it only made 254 at the wheels this was with eqaul length headers orh pipe and flows.
im suprised he pulled you out of the hole had to be a stick car with the 3.27 option

^ Well I don't know about that, an LT1 with a 6 Speed has a nice grunt to it, especially on low end.
To the OP good kill. I will say that your LT1 should eat an older 5.0 up and spit it out pretty easily. You should have no problem putting several, several lengths on a nearly stock Mid 90's Mustang.
