So a few of us were hangin out this weekend when a new guy comes up being loud in a GT. My car is a 98 auto ls1 with ONLY a maganaflow catback, not even a lid. I go over and talk to him, and check out his car. His car is an 02 GT 5spd, he had longtubes, O/R X pipe, some spiral flow mufflers, intake, throttle body and 4.10s. We line them up and stayed dead even from a low roll and a higher roll. It was a pretty good match up. He was real cool guy.

 

here we go..........

 

Ha ha,

 

Good runs . Like a few of the guys (like myself) have been saying, a full bolt-on/geared GT is not something to take *too* lightly. Still not fast, but quick enough to compete

 

did he have it tuned?

 

Sounds like some fun runs. Get that lid and inch him out.

 

lol yea a lid would let u pull in front of that stang

 

A full bolt on/geared stang keeps up with a stock LS1? That's nothing to be proud of i'm afraid...

 

lol anit that the truth

 

Does your car have 2.73's?

 

They do start with an 80rwhp deficit. Stating that car is only putting down ~ 250-260 ..I'd say that's not too bad. Still has ~50 RWHP less. I can't imagine the gears are necessary, but if he only kept up....apparently they were needed for this race.


Nice run.

 

if he was smart he would have wanted a dig race. and in my opinion he would have won. the set up on that gt well driven with a good tune has the potential to run 12's.

 

good runs. having fun is what is all about.

 

Good Race, if u were an m6 this would have been a completely different race....from my experience in racing m6/a4 ls1s 3 of each all with similar mods....the m6 is anywhere from 1-2 cars faster from a roll

 

disappointing

^o **** dude NOOOO now this thread is gonna blow up after you saying that...prepare yourselves everyone it might be another "Can we talk smack about autos for 2 seconds..." thread haha o wait sorry just read your whole sentence, lol got a little trigger happy. Yes you are correct well unless he puts it down into gear

 

I agree with you don't tell anyone

Or maybe LCA, TA, panrod u know

If he has SS A4 it comes stock with 3.23

Good run. Now start modding

 

Seeing as how the GT wasn't ever meant to be "the Mustang to beat" I'd say it did pretty good. IMO the GT is your teenage girl's Mustang that the parents don't want to get her a fast car to get in trouble with. Or its your Mustang that Dan at age 45 wants that just has that V8 Mustang sound but he doesn't care about performance. Now if you wanna talk performance get you ahold of a Mach 1 or Cobra. It would have been a completely different race if the Mustang had been either.

 

Did you just have a conversation with yourself?

 

And I'd rather have that badass-sounding 5spd 4.10-geared GT than a stock A4 Camaro . Now if it was a 6spd SS with full exhaust, it would be a bit different.

 

And I would rather walk... just messin!

My car is slow
