I've seen my fair share of BLOWN 99-up Musturds that run high 12's low 13's on e.t. streets. I would hate to spend 5 grand on a nice blower setup and tires and be in the 13's. But, that's why I got rid of my Rustang.
They must not have been able to drive. Most I've seen run 12.6 on drag radials.

When my car was 100 perecent stock, one day I was movin' quickly up a long, 1/4 mile I-95 onramp. I'd say 85% throttle, rowing through 1st,2nd, and in 3rd, I looked in the mirror and saw a newer Stang keepin' up. I eased in max throttle, but by then the ramp forked quickly and we had to let off. We cruised in traffic until the end of I-95 where it merges into US1. At the next light, I powered down the window, motioned to the guy to do the same, and asked "Nice Stang,what ya got?" He said "4.6L" I say, "No sh*t, besides that..." he replies "Exhaust." I then proceeded to ask him, "were ya runnin' all out?" he said "yeah! and you?" I then shook my head with a grin, said "Nope!" he countered with a sigh, "didn't think you were either," he threw some revs (why at this point, I don't know). I powered up the window, returned a Rev though the quiet stock exhuast I had at the time, and went on my way in the thick traffic. I was grinnin' the rest of the day. So, the moral to the story is STOCK vs. STOCK, NOT A CHANCE IN HELL!!!
ps. w/ my new exhuast setup, thowing a rev would induce fear, the Spintech is MEAN! Still giddy about it.

this has to be the dummest reply in the history of ls1tech. Oh well guess i'll play a 5 year old competition match. Well you seats were designed after an f150, and you also have a fake hood scoop. Did i mention 4 cats. Oh and one last thing, what the hell is up with that honey comb grill. Dont even go there.

Mustangs...Give me a break...A few years ago my girlfriend wanted to look at a new 2000 GT 5-speed. After she got done driving it I drove it next. The car was junk. The interior is cheap plastic and I whacked the gas in 1st gear and the tires barely spun. And it was SUPPOSED to have 260 HP??? Yeah right!!! When my '99 SS M6 was new, that car would smoke the tires in 1st and 2nd. My 2002 WS6 A4 smoked the tires in first when that was bone stock. I've seen V6 camaro's with 5-speeds give a GT a run for it's money

I have also seen my friend seans stock V6 camaro barely go down to a 4.6L GT.

You say now that your car is "stock" ... however in your sig on the first post, u say ...

" 99 gt dont worry about the mods ive got em "

So your not really positive about whether or not you have mods done to your car. Interesting...

PS. So thats what the back of a slowstang looks like eh?

you guys dont mention you have a 69 ci advantage ..and a hp and tourque advantage ..so what do you expect? No one told you to buy a Mustang. Thats your fault that you did. Don't compalin about the lack of c.i.'s, HP, and torque.

i pull 13.8-9 in the 1/4 and yes thats with a 281 ci engine 260hp and 300 lbs/ft with 3.73 gears and you're proud of those numbers?

you guys need to understand im not trying to dog on you guys in the frist place but when i post and get nothin but hate and disagreement well here i come First off, you come onto a GM board talking smack about a slow 2-valve Mustang, and how you can beat any stock LS1. Try a less antagonistic approach and you might be received a little more warmly

[/quote]

my a4 went 13.7@104 all stock after i had the car for less than a week
ill take you up on that guarantee. the day you build an n/a 4.6 2v that will outrun the colonel's old setup or even the fastest heads and cam cars we'll be waiting. a CI advantage? are you sure you shouldnt be driving a honda? after all youve got "high tech" OHC arent you supposed to be faster than our dinosaur pushrod motors ?

Torque and HP have nothing to do with a mustang having his *** handed to him by an s2000. I have been in the car with my boy in his S2k when he ran one from a dead stop to 120. From 0 to 60 the mustang had us by a half a car, but by then the s2k started to real him in top end. We finally had him by 2 cars or so. To make things worse, he ran a 14.4 at 100. So what does that make you run. HMMMM! 15.0.

Most GT's I have seen run at the track pull mid-high 14's, stock. Most LS1's pull mid-high 13's, stock.

Thats around a second difference in ET's. Period.
