I pulled up to a stoplight next to this really pretty Mustang last night. My son leaned over and said it's a GT/CS. I really didn't have a clue what that was as we took off slow. But toward the end of 2nd gear (3500 RPM's) I heard him punch it & he started to pull away from me. He couldn't have got on it at a better place for me. I have real traction problems with my 3.91 rear end & gobbs of torque that I make. So at the end of (Crusing RPM's) 2nd gear is just perfect time to get on it. Well by the time I shifted to 3rd gear I already had a 1/2 car length on him and when 3rd hit, my car leaped 1-1/2 cars ahead of him. Well it was over from that point. I followed through with 4th gear and then slowed down to let him catch up. Come to find out it's a Mustang "GT California Special" Edition Mustang. They're very pretty, but for the extra $1800 he paid I really don't think it was worth it. He should have started on MODs instead.

 

Nice kill, and I agree about the extra $1800.

 

Just an appearance package... I think it looks quite a bit better than a normal GT. I don't know about the price vs. looks thing, but to each his own. Good kill

 

Good kill ! Good thing you had a cam.

 

Good kill, those cars are pretty nice.

 

I know i'm going to hear it but it's a drivers race between the two. I ran a 13.70 bone stock with the paper filter a-5 auto against an 06 gto 6speed . I have the sct programmer with bassani exhaust, 13.50's at 103 in hot weather.Still running the stock air box with 331 highway gears.

 

You'd probably be right if I had an LS2 engine. But, I'm running a 416 cubic inch L92 that dyno'd 480 RWHP/468RWTQ. I'll admit that the Mustang is an absolute work of art compared to my Chevy Cavalier looking GTO body. But, I wouldn't hesitate to run my GTO against a GT500KR for a good race.

 

No don't get me the wrong way the ls2 gto's are bad *** looking in my opinion,I'm sure your car is a beast.

 

I'm only being honest about the Mustang styling being way better. But you said that it was a drivers race, as in it would be close...
Too much power for it to be close; not a whole lot of driver's skill involved; only more $$$ in MOD's.

 

This is stock for stock , my friend 6speed my car a-5 auto.My car was stock at the time ,no mods.

 

Cool car!!! Have you done anything to it since?

 

Bassani exhaust and sct programmer. Car woke up with the tune.

 

Have you run your goat at the track? Curious what kind of ET/Trap you managed.

 

The 1/4 mile track on the Island of Oahu shut down. Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii have tracks and a new inter-Island ferry ststem opens up in August. Unless I run drag slicks, I'm sure I wouldn't do too well though. I've got serious traction problems in 1st & 2nd gears.

 

Man how lucky you are driving a bad *** car in paradise!
