Not that you haven't seen this at some track, but you guys are wayyyyy off.

 

who cares? REALLY. this is a f-body fourm ls1tech.com not uglymustangtech.com ok just playing a like some mustangs
but everone gonna see diff numbers i pretty much hate drag strips anyway. i can take my car and run a 16 in the 1/4 doesnt mean **** but i cant drive on the strip. say 2.20 60 ft gt runs 14.00 but a 1.80 60ft runs 13.60 see where im going. both at around 100 so. hummmmm

 

Yeah, what he said.
But just for fun lets do the math then. They're not gunna pull a 1.80 all the time, and I certainly hope not a 2.20. So lets go right in the middle with a 2.0.
Now lets take the middle of a 14.00 and a 13.60= a 13.80. Just like I said. So depending on if you think we're wayyyyyy off either up or down, the facts are there on every magazine and website. High 13 second car. Unless you're a great driver, have a factory freak, or at different altitudes.

 

Well, alot of us Stangers have respect for GM and maybe even own one or have owned a GM in the past, so that's why most of us are here. It's just guys chattin about cars, with exceptions of a few over confident fellows, so it's all good. Most of the talk about Ford, is all forum bull, and it's obvious that people don't know what they're talking about. I don't care about what a magazine says when I line up to race, so I dunno. I used to fear the LS1, now I don't. I respect em, but I don't fear em cuz it really don't happen on the tracks I go to the way people talk. Most of the drivers out there get high 13's apparently, but I know some guys who have 13.2 timeslips stock. Bottom line. Same day, same track, same conditions, stock for stock, the LS1 is about 2 tenths quicker than an S197, not a full second as the forums state.

I used to think all GM for years, till 05 when I bought my Stang. Now, I like Ford too. Now all I have to do is get an SRT8 and it'll be complete.

 

With that fantastic 60' time and good track conditions, that car would see bottom 13s. Just like I said. Some magazines run high 13s, just like they do with some LS1s. But I like how you choose to ignore that even magazines have gotten 13.6s out of AUTOMATIC Mustang GTs. The whole "dragstrip error" thing is precisely why I deal with what the CARS are capable of, not necessarily what you see at the track, or what the average driver is capableof. Cuz the average driver blows donkey *****.

 

Agreed.
F-bodys have seen 12 second runs stock. But the point is, is that your never going to see it. It has only happened a couple times. So people don't refer to Firebirds and Camaros as 12 second cars, they refer to them as 13 second cars, because that is what they run 99% of the time. A low 13 is possible from a GT maybe, But the general public is never going to refer to them running that, and the chance that they will is very slim.
I totally understand what you're saying though.

 

The problem is just how you're phrasing it... with a good driver, 13.9 would be embarassing in a new GT. On average, F-bodies are low-mid 13s, and GTs are mid-high 13s. Like a previous poster said, the F-body is on average .2-.3s quicker in the 1/4 in like conditions with equal drivers.

 

By going on what I have read, not what I have seen, people have been having trouble getting a 14 flat outta those cars. So if I drove one to a 13.8 or 9, I'd be content
But in the end, we agree to disagree

 

WOW....so, how bout them bulls?

 

whoooo atleast there not like 99-04 gt's mid 14's.lol wow why did i say that

 

Because you like starting ****?

 

im not the one posting in the defense everytime some one beats a mustang. its cazy. i could tell you i beat a 07 v6 then there will be a whole 20 post on how with couple of bolt ons they run 13's its ridiculous. get over it and yourself

 

Cuz you've been here so long . If you open your eyes you'd notice that I post facts about EVERY car. If someone comes on here in a stock LT1 and says they beat an '07 350Z by 5 cars, I (and everyone else with sense) am gonna call . I'm not some robot that just says "Good kill, "blah blah blahs are slow," for every kill story I read. Sorry if that gets under your skin. Wait... no I'm not

 

You're going overkill there bud.

 

Why did you guys start magazine racing? I thought we were past that, after all the **** killemall took for it.
Good kill OP.

 

thats all it is with him. but tired of crying and kicking. just let the guy have it so he can sleep good with his feelings in tact. i gotta join a mustang fourm cause i guess im in the wrong type of fourm.

 

You're right.
However its not all magazine racing.
It's what the cars run.

 

This, is why I lovvvvve racing guys with LS1's and 2's at the track. Cuz they really believe my car is a 14 second car at first glance. You should see them afterwards. They usually have a whole lot of questions about my mods.

 

Yes sir! Yes sir!

 

Nice kill anyways, before this dissolves to bickering. My roommate raced his brothers 07 GT in my T/A last weekend I'm waiting to hear how it went (stuck in the middle of the friken pacific...) hopefully the same outcome.
