Like I said... it doesn't matter what you believe. I didn't say it was common or expected, but it is possible.

I agree its possible. You only need 105-106mph for a 12 sec pass (w/ a decent 60ft of course). A bolt-on GT can get that mph and ET. Only radials? Probably not but DR's? Yes. Remember, its not only about rwhp. Gearing has a big affect on it. -Mark

NO way this guy was even close to 12's. High 13's best, even that seems out of reach for as slow as this car was. I've beaten another GT with atleast exhaust by even more than this guy, so I don't think he had a bad running car.
DRIVE MOD doesn't mean **** from 50mph roll BTW.
Maybe if the car was set-up for drag on slicks MAYBE i would believe it, even then its a bit far-fetched.

you have been spending a little too much time on LS1tech.....why dont you go cruise some of the stang forums and see what it really takes for the 2V's to get in the 12's...you could even look at some of the links I posted above and see what it took them to get into the 12's...have you ever even owned a 2V?? or are you just making **** up? I see three 4V 4.6's in your sig and a 289.....you can call me a poor driver all you want but the fact is you have no idea how I drive.....2V 4.6 motors are junk and it takes more money than its worth to get them to go fast NA

. Most 99-04 5spd GTs put down about 230rwhp stock. But also about 270-280lb/ft of torque, which is not "weak." They might not be (stock vs. stock) in the same league as the LS1, but still not "slow." I enjoy my car (though I'd rather have an LS1), and I think it's pretty pitiful how you can call something a piece of ****, or "slow," just because you happen to be faster.

any moron can do that. and yes 99-04 gts are slow. if you dont like it quite trolling the street racing/kill section here and go troll a mustang forum.

Ill be back up there next month with full bolt ons, gears, tune and a 100 shot with drag radials and ill be glad to report back my numbers.
sounds good man, make sure you post up the slips with 'em

ok so after you are done trying to prove 01formula wrong (even though he is showing a number of examples of heavily modified gt's barely breaking into the 12's), why dont you just find us some examples of bolt on (I/H/E), geared GTs that hit 12's. I know that not all of the drivers 01formula mentioned were bad drivers...he is just showing the limitations of the 4.6 2v without big power adders.

And you know this how? I can show you THOUSANDS of people that have a few grand thrown into their LS1s and can't break into the 12s. And then I can show you a select few that have done it either stock, or with only one or two small mods. I've seen quite a few things that people (most of whom aren't exactly experts) have told me are impossible.

Irunhighthirteensongoodday....here is a thread I made for you....http://www.svtperformance.com/forums...d.php?t=407036
so far everyone has mentioned either a power adder or weight reduction w/ weld wheels

Um... there are even tons of people on this site that have ALOT of stuff done to their cars and aren't in the 12s. For whatever reason. Everytime I go to the dragstrip I see LS1 F-bodies with alot of mods in the 13s, and '03-04 Cobras in the 13s, and turbocharged Hondas that run 13s and trap 115mph. Does that mean they can't go any faster?

Yes, there are some members here that may not be the best driver, or may not run at a greatly prepped track, but there are average, and good drivers on this website with stock ls1's running bolt on gt times, and bolt on ls1 running true 12 second passes.
