Beat a newer GT from a roll!!!
I was coming home from working out and I was stopped at a light and it turned green and I just took off regular. Then this newer yellow (I hate yellow) Mustang GT came to the left of me and he had a front windshield banner that said "Horsing Around". I was tired and wasn't gonna race but I couldn't help testing it out. He came up to by door and hit the gas and I heard his exhaust, so I put it in 3rd gear and floored it. Of course he got a quick jump on me, but after about a second I put 2 cars on him then let off cause I already caught up to the people in front of me. He let off too, but did a ***** fly by. Nice race though. I guess we did some Horsing Around

The new GT's are not that slow. Guy at my track ran a 13.37@103.2 with just 70mm TB,MAC Prochamber, MAC catback,cold air,3.90's and MT E/T Streets. This is on a full weight car. I've only raced a few...one was a GT vert 5spd and an auto coupe..beat them both.

That seems slow, because my dads 1991 LX with near identical mods went 13.31, and he doesn't have the Tbody or CAI!!!
I would think that after all these years they could have improved the car enough to be going that fast stock!

My dads car does have weight removed, but has a full interior, with the back seat, and had before the last race, 16" ponys up front when he went 13.31, and 15" Turbines out back! Oh ya not to mention the 45 less hp, but that is my point, the newer GTs didn't seem to improve that much. If you look at the difference b/w an L98 and an LS1, it isn't even close, but if you look at a 5.0 and 4.6, it is! Just my opinion, but Ford could have done better, and that is why I think I'm buying an LS1 soon, and not a newer Mustang even though they are cheaper!

Stock for stock and bolt-on for bolt-on, the 99+ GT's are faster than the 5.0's, even with the extra 500 lbs. There's no getting around that fact.

TPI, I meant the LS1 Camaro vs the L98 Camaro, the difference b/w those two is much greater than the difference b/w a 5.0 Mustang and a 4.6 Mustang! All I am saying is that similarly modded 5.0s and 4.6s are much closer than similarly modded L98s and LS1s. Basically GM has improved much more over the years as far as performance than Ford!
Nic I know 4.6s are faster, but not by too much. In our Factory stock class, the 5.0s dominate and the fastest 4.6 goes 13.6 while the fastest 5.0 goes 12.3! The new GTs with exhaust, gears and tires are running what I am running, high 13s!

oh, ok. i thought you were trying to say that L98s and LS1s are worlds apart when it comes to performance. on paper (dynos), ill agree with that statement. but on the track its a different story

My friend ran a 13.26@108 with his stock 2002 Z28. Thats moving. Thats with stock fiter and all...he did cut out bottom of airbox but thats not enough of a gain to say so. He had a 2.2X 60ft too! With better tires than the stock 245/50 Good Years...easy 12.9 . But my friends 2000SS has quite a few mods and is runnign the same times...I guess that LS6 intake was a better gain than they say!

This is my point. Look at the difference b/w a 10 year old Camaro and a new one, and then the difference b/w a 10 year old Mustang and a new one! GM has made many more performance upgrades, and has improved much more in 10 years, that was all I was saying!
#26
I'm not too impressed with the new GTs. And I agree with the other posters. The mustang should be alot faster than what it is.
Of course, I think the '03 Cobra makes up for all that. Cant beat the bang for the buck. 12.88 for $35k

No, look at a 1991 Mustang. Stock it will run on average 14.5. A new GT stock will run on average 14.0. That is a .5 difference.
Look at a 1991 350, stock it will run on average 14.5. A new Z28 will on average run a 13.5. That is a 1 second difference.
It just seems that GM has improved more in the 1/4 than Ford has!

Actually lets compare the Z28 to the GT for ONCE! The Z28 will wipe the floor with a GT, and the Cobra (besides 2003) will also get beat badly! The only car to compete recently has been the 2003 Cobra, and it is a great car, but GM has been going mid to low 13s for nealy 4 years! And lets see, you have one year (1997) where the Ford was faster, but before and after, for EVERY year the 4.6 has been around it has been slower! And if I have to special order a supercharged Saleen or Roush to run with some guy who bought a used 1999 SS, than Ford has a little work ahead of them!
And remember I started comparing older Ford vs Newer Ford, and older GM vs newer GM, Monkie came in with lets compare Ford vs Chevy, and he only came up with ONE year of the 4.6 where Ford stood a chance!

I don't think Ford's main concern is how fast their cars can get down the 1/4 mile. The 99+ GT's are superior to the 5.0's in every way, shape, and form and there's no getting around that fact.

You have the new Mach 1, Cobra, Saleen, Roush 3, and the Boss to soon come back. I think the GT now is just for your average guy that wants a Mustang that can get from point A to point B with no problems.

It is not even relevant comparing times from one track to another really. A stock LS1 may be able to run a 12.9 but I've never seen it happen and many don't. I know the only one I've seen(in a mag) is Evan Smith running it in one at E-Town..one of THE fastest tracks. It is sticky as hell and the elevation is less than 100 above sea level...almost perfect conditions. He also ran in the mid 13's with a stock 88LX with just free mods and gears on stock tires...not the norm. My track is fast and the best I've seen is a 13.26 with my friends stock 2002 Z28...not an SS. The SS is not that much quicker if any really since they weigh more. My friend's has no power options at all..crank windows and all. Just has T-tops,A/C and chrome stock 16's...that's it. I think the cars are capable but most of the drivers are not. My car is faster than 75% of the ones at my track with same mods. It weighs only 100lbs less than my other buddies fully loaded 2000 SS!! I have all options and haven't even ran a short belt before. I run it just as it is on the street.

BTW, if you think LS1s cant hit high 12s out of the box you're nuts. They are for a fact at the worst...mid 13 second cars.
99 cobras sucked. Factory recall king.

Monkie finally posted timeslips...?? Last I heard, there was debate over which of his and his family's cars even existed...? Not trying to start stuff, just curious, I've missed out on the soap opera recently...

Sure, let's port the heads and put some money into a couple cams. A 5.0 isn't going to run 11's n/a on the stock untouched heads or cam you know

Your right, but it will run 9s N/A. Obviousely the block isn't going to handle that much, but N/A they are more powerful! Look at Factory Stock! It is dominated by Justin Burcham, and Robin Lawrence. I know a few guys who are close with them, and those cars with GT-40s and Cobra intakes are putting down 340 rwhp! I know there is more than just bolt-ons but still, for a 10 year old design (1993 Cobra parts) and heads that aren't made anymore, they run much harder than a SOHC GT! I will not buy a new 4.6 for a long time, until they impress me, and I have yet to see an impressive one, besides Bob Cosbys car.
And Monkie, 13.1 isn't bad, but then again, NOT impressive at all. Until you are running 10s with the juice and much lower with the blower and juice, I won't be impressed.!

Hmm...with 11:1 310 cubic inch motors with competition valve jobs, lightweight pistons, pro-shifted transmissions, and all the other goodies that nobody wants to talk about.
