caught a new stang at a light. exhaust and cai. I was not even thinking bout racing till he started revving it (maybe he has some sneaky mods) . Light turned green, he takes off, so i put the throttle down half way pull on him, then mash it and put bus lenghts and shut down. He gave the thumbs up which i thought was cool.


1st racing post so be easy.


Tsp 2.5 cnc ls6 heads, 228r 114lsa, headers, all boltons

 

bully lol

 

He probably just wanted to see your car go... and you gave him a mighty good show

 

good kill, I never get to catch any new stangs

 

thanks, it was actually the 1st newer stang i got to go up against. they are sweet cars no doubt, just a little heavy i believe

 

brian , i see you have turbos, ever run it in the 1/4 and what kind of rwhp you putting down!

 

Then new Stangs got some weight to them..

 

The heaviest new GT coupe is still like 3450lbs... that's not much more than an LS1 F-body

Edit: And the base GT coupe is under 3400lbs.

 

^^You might want to look into that bro..they are heavy..from what I have seen..

 

kid that lives around me has a 06 gt, with hood pins, straight pipes and a "ram air" hood.

He couldn't catch me

 

Good Kill.

He didnt stand a chance. I like the h/c combo you have

 

haha yea some peeps pay to have those body kits versions and such. look nice. but alot more bark than bite.

 

I did "look into that." Those are the numbers I found. They all range from about 3375lbs, to just over 3500lbs for a fully loaded coupe.

 

thanks bay area ss. im pretty happy with it as well. drives like stock, until you push that pedal down, then LOok out lol

 

How did the Shelby Cobra GT 500 end up at over 4000lbs..that's supposed to be the :fast: car..

 

It's not over 4,000lbs... it's just over 3,900

 

my car weighs 3700, without me in it. and i went to the track once since i put the turbo on, i wan on 17in. drag radials and had incredible traction issues, i only made one pass, with a 2.5 60ft, and just let 3rd and 4th pull it down to a low 12 at 118, that was in 100 alabama weather, on a good day its got mid 11s in it at prob 119 120

 

NIce kill OP.

Seems this thread could use some stang knowledge.

GTs are ~3450 pounds. They were initially going ot be alot heavier. The 'pig' status stayed with them...but they did shed some pounds for production. The GT500 COUPE is a hair under 4000pounds...the vert is over 4k. WHY?...simple.....5.4L motor with charger and I/C.all the pluming, body kit, upgraded brakes and suspension..yadda yadda..just like the 03/04 cobras weighed more than the GTs.

 

3400 3500 aint too heavy, not light but not heavy...aren't f bodys 3500?

 

this guy is 3700 pounds,how are all you other stang drivers 250 pounds less? his turbo aint that heavy
