i'd say you got him. i haven't raced a newer one yet though. just don't blow your tires off the line and you should definately have him on the top end.

the one i raced surprised me, but u should pass him when u are in your 3rd gear. there low end is real good with there gears and all but u got him on the top end try to race him from a 2nd gear roll if u cant do it off the line

Should be a good race, but you should win . Put it on video.

I raced one in my stock 99 z28 and had no problems pulling slowly away.

Yes, you'll beat him. Just don't spin or do stupid **** like eat while driving... (McDonalds cost me a race once.)

You will kill him!! End of story. I had 3 cars on an 07' GT when i just had the lid.

One race does not dipect normalcy.


OP - You 'should' win yes. It comes down to how good you are and how good he is. If you can't drive, he 'may' win. Generally speaking though 4th Fbods are quicker.

Typical new GT trap speed = 103
Typical M6 WS6 Trap speed = 106-108

It won't be pretty

You shouldn't have a problem. One of the guys in my neighborhood has a '08 GT with exhaust (possibly more, that's all I know for sure) and I walk him every time (and that's in a heavier A4 convertible).

yeah i raced one when my car was stock and he had a catback, i was a4 and he was m5, and i totally distroyed him, by a few lengths, then he used famous mustanger line"i missed 3rd", so then he didnt wanna race, well i got him to race again..... well what do you know i beat him again by the same amount, after that he wouldnt even look at me!!!!

LOL go race him & find out. Then, let us know if they can hang with a LS1! Did you really expect anyone on here to say yes or the mustang will win? Also, video serves as proof.

I have raced two and we were even, I spinned and could not get any traction, then we both let go. Can't tell who won. But I did race a GT500 that pulled one car on me.... No excuses but the GT500 pulled a car on me up to about 4th-5th... then he stopped pulling, I started catching up... guy in the mustang let go and did not want to go at it again.... who knows... I might've catch him and pull a little up top!!!

108 mph stock trap is not common. id say 104-105 is a good common trap. yea i never raced one stock but they dont have the top end of a ls1.

I'd agree with a slightly lower average trap...I've seen more LS1 F-bodies trap 102-105 than 106-108, but the track conditions were pretty bad on the days I went. I've also seen some beat *** F-bodies, so it really depends on their condition and the skills of the driver behind the wheel. We all ain't John Force or Evan Smith...
