955 auto, who is that Bobby Ore? Or is that HarborVette?

Sweet, I want to see it when its all done. Have those guys been out yet this year, I know they meet up there on State St. by Hamot Hospital, but by the looks of it the ricers have taken it over lately.

THat happens when you are used to a car that is ~1 second slower. Especially if his S197 doesnt' ahve a tune. IMO, toss on a CAI and a 91+ Octane tune, and his GF's dad may be singing a different tune...well, with the exception of the top end...Dang those S197s suck on the top end..IMO.

We beat a GT in a Cadillac SRX with three people in it a while back cruising around the PRI show in Orlando.

For the record, both have a 4.6L OHC V8, but one is basically a station wagon. And when I say 'beat', I mean like with a lead pipe.

And I'm pretty sure that thing had 2.73 gears too, because if you got on it, you didn't feel anything, but you sure started goin pretty quick.

i was at a car show and a friend of mine dynoed his 05 mustang and ended up 270rwhp and always says he can beat me because factory listings on camaros and stangs are both like 305 (for my 99 atleast) i didn have the heart to tell him that camaros are under rated

That is a prime example of someone that has NO idea what they are talking about. He needs to trade his car in for a mini van.....or SHOOSH until he learns something.

Hey, don't be talkin trash about minivans, there is one running around near me that is gutted, loud exhaust and nitrous. Then there is the super chevy astro van, if I remember right it runs 10's, while doing a wheelstand all the way down the 1/4 lol.

11 Stang kills (no losses) at the track so far including one Texas Ford Nationals Bracket racing Champ last year. There is an 04 Cobra gunnin for us and we will oblige after we get our posi fixed. Eager to race my friend Chris' new Shelby GT500 but he wont run. I know every dog has its day but we have not had ours yet.
Cost of mods to power yield, LSx wins hands down over the Stangs.
BTW-I have seen vids of some preety sick minivans and raced a fairly quick one at San Antonio Raceway. Talk about a true sleeper.
Imagine getting your **** handed to you by a 10 sec minivan on your way to the grocery store,lol.

You cant win an argument on LSstang teck.com. Where are they getting this crap about stock fox body's out running Tpi Iroc's and GTA's. Never seen it happen, and for the record my budy out ran a 04 GT in a 85 caddy deville with a 5.7 ZZ4 crate motor only dynoing 281 to the tires and went 13.8 to the stangs 14.6. Now im sorry but you say the GT is fast! Get your mind out of the gutter and wake The F*&% up. The only mustang i give credit for as far as being fast would be the 04 cobra's. I had a little respect for the mach 1 until i saw my buddy get draged by a acura integra. Come on man i drag Gt's with a modified 305.

At the risk of magazine racing, what are you basing this general statement on? TPI IROC or GTA...LG4, L69, LB9, L98 all were 15 second cars. The 305 was actually a little quicker than the 350 due to the manual tranny. Both not quite as quick as the 302 H.O. mustangs of the time, especially the LX notches (lightest of the fox bodies)... BGNs were as fast stock vs. stock and the Pontiac TTA, though very limited in production was the king of the strip in 1989 running mid 13s.

I'm willing to listen. If you can educate me, I'd appreciate it since maybe I'm missing something. I certainly don't know it all.

Im basing this statment on the fact that ive never seen an actual fast GT 4.6 mustang. Hell i out ran a 95 5.0 cobra with the stock 305 and a 3.42 gear twice. I dont know i just never really seen a fast stock 5.0 or a 4.6 GT. Hell maybee you could educate me!

ok. The 95 cobra 5.0 was a 240bhp car with a manual. You beat this car with your stock 305? Ok. Good kill on a faster car with what was obviously a terrible driver. Thanks for the education. You're right. I'm wrong.

NOt to be a jerk, but seriously...why are you basing your definitive opinion on a hand full of races?
SUmmary:

One 04 GT that ran a 14.6...( which is VERY much on the slow side and not normal).

One 03/04 Mach 1 that lost to an integra.

One 95 Cobra that lost to you car?

One car, One race, ONe time, and you have made up your mind? You do realize mach's are low to mid 13s stock. and New edge gts are high 13s low 14s stock.

I will feel bad the day you watch a bad driver behind the wheel of a cobra that runs 13s.

Nothing against you personally, It is hard to not have a strong opinion on what people see with their own eyes. But, please remember, these are onsie twosie races you are talking about here.

For an example.....I watched a 98 C5 vette run 14.7.....do I believe they all run that?...no....BTW - He was mid 14s ALL DAY LONG.

Give up like I did Pony...no facts will be considered. 14 second cars lose to 15 second cars consistently...

It will just get ugly, and end up with a . He may listen to one of the guys who don't drive a Ford.

You're right........ Guess I'll leave it alone.

I really wasn't trying to argue...just understand, and point a few things out.
