Well as the title would indicate, i ran an 03 Bullet stang tonite. Had some get up to it. I was cruisin, just lookin for a reason to mash the gas, and I see this stang up ahead, and see the really shiny tips out the back, so i figure its just another GT, then see the bullet on the side. The guys plate also said "44 MGM". Very clever. I liked it. Car was solid black, with nice phat 18''s and looked to be about 285's on the rear. Very sweet ride.

I pull up beside him and roll down the window, the passenger says " Man that thing sounds wicked!" (gotta love the BONE STOCK 305 with the cutout) I tell him thats a sweet stang, lets get these on the highway and play. He follows.

We get some clear space, no one honks just kinda go, well he goes first, and pulls 3 cars in about 7-8 seconds, then I hold it there, we run way up past 85 (damn speedo) then shut it down. We did this 3 times, every time hed pull 3 cars then no one would gain on each other. We both take the next exit, and give the thumbs up. Good run. Cool car.

What's the deal with these Bullit cars? Anything special? I was proud of the Maro for hangin with him, and the compliment was cool too. Not bad for a completely stock 305 down to the filter, well except exhaust. Hope you enjoyed.

Ford Mustang Bullitt 14.4 at 99.5 that was the 02 or 01 model.

 

Hmmm... that would probably put me in the mid 15's. Ill take it.

 

A bullit with a good driver is a high 13 to low 14 second car.

 

true.......a guy around town ran 13.8 in his bullit.......stock

 

Bullitt was an '01 or '02 only model. It was only built for the one model year. They have an upgraded intake and exhaust over a standard GT as well as having some additional cosmetic doo-dads. I think they're known to run high 13's to low 14's stock.

 

Mid to high 13's stock. The Two-Valve engine produces a ton of low-end power, but lacks the top-end power of the 4-Valve DOHC Cobra.

 

The Bullitt was made in 2001 only

 

Oh ok. Just thought it would be an 03 because this car was perfect. I guess just very well maintained. With me holding about 3 cars back on him, from a 65 roll. what do you think my car would be running in the 1/4? Dont have any decent tracks around here, so I just have to compare.

 

Judging by the race, mid to low 14s...

 

A STOCK MUSTANG BULLIT DOES NOT RUN HIGH 13's!!!!!Thats a joke! All it is, is a mustang GT with an exhaust and appearance upgrades. The best 1/4mile time I've ever seen was a 14.2. Geeeez you guys give that piece of #$%& to much credit! and the convertible mustang gt's run 14.8's stock....hahahahahahaha!
A stock L98 should have no problems keeping up.

 

End yourself..A stock mustang GT is a low 14 to high 13 second car depending on the driver. With a good driver a mustang GT or bullit will run all day long in the high 13's. Nic, who posts here his father has a 01 GT I believe..auto nonetheless that ran a 13.8 bone stock. I've personally seen at my own local track two bullit's running 13.8's and 13.7's respectively and both were bone stock. My friend who has a 02 GT has sidepipe exhaust(stock manifolds),gears,shifter and ET streets and he does 13.0's all day long at the track. And you know all cars can cut 2 seconds off their 1/4 mile time with those mods It's all about the driving but you wouldn't know about that seeing as you own an automatic..

 

You really shouldn't lip off about a car that you know NOTHING about, BULLITs can and do run high 13's with ease.
I don't know what it is with some of you people and all the ford bashing ?

 

Someone is stuck in the late '80s!

 

Close. 14.2 bone stock and 13.8 after the K&N and mufflers. Had 2 friends with '00 5-speeds who both ran 13.9 bone stock and neither one of them are what I'd consider to be anymore than average drivers.

 

yep, I have seen lots in the low 14's but, the high 13's had a few small things nothing major

 

Too bad you live in California... I could have you join our club at the track once or twice, and really make you scratch your head. Stock GTs in the 13s, lightly modded ones in the low 13s, Mach1s in the 12s, it's actually pretty impressive.

 

Car: 85 z-28, looks/sounds good. not fast enough, then again they never are.
Engine: 305 TPI 2.75 '' exhaust, cutout, and flowmaster 40 series
Transmission: 700R4

This is what you got? And the Bullit only pulled 3 cars on you? Either someone is lying, someone is not trying, or I'm not impressed with the newer Ford.

 

You're a ****in idiot, go away....

 

i have seen 2 bullets at the lakeland 1/8 mile drag strip,run an 8.6 at 85mph,thats mid 13s,they where both stock,one of them was my best friend,its stockand i have seen bone stock 2002 gt run 13.80s

 

All I will add to this thread is that I have never seen a stock GT or bullit go near the 13's with good drivers. Our track champion last year has an 02 GT and runs 14.2's to 14.4's.

I have a video on my computer of a GT with slicks and exhaust with a professional driver that ran a 13.85. You can see him shifting all the way down the track the car lurches so bad. This was a promotional video for procharger.

 

are you saing that a prochared gt ran 13.80 with slicks,dude give me some of that sh** your smoking,ha i procharged gt with 4 psi will run high 12s

 

A stock GT will NEVER see 8.5 8.6 @85mph Stock. An 8.6 is ls1 material

i ran my friends stock 02 gt 5spd
1.960ft 1/8 9.1@80mph 1/4 14.1 @98

 

No they ran it before and after, and on 8psi it ran 12.4 or 12.6 Did I say anywhere that the car had anything other than slicks and exhaust?

 

13.8s are lame. I know of a few cars running high 13s to very low 14s with nothing done, as well as lightly modded cars (tires, and gears) running very deep 13s. Lurches or not, either it was high altitude or a bad driver... Those mods will put a late 80s LX or GT with 225hp in the 13s with ease!

 

So professional driver and you still think its lame?

 

just cause ATI had them driving doesn't make them a professional driver..Just cause a company has someone driving for them doesn't make them any better of a driver than you and me.

 

You know what's lame? The way every thread about a Mustang in this forum turns into a "it can do this"..."no it can't, it can only do this"..."oh yea, well i saw this so it can only do this"..."but there's such and such that can do this" argument. THAT IS WHAT'S LAME. This isn't beating a dead horse (no pun intended) anymore, it's mauling a rotting carcass like an angry mob of barbarians. Can we PLEASE give it a rest by now?

 

Typical fbody owners, *<x>** forbid something else besides an fbody is fast.....

It's starting to **** me off...now wonder our community is viewed as being a bunch of retarded rednecks...

 

Define professional... Because I know of about 20 guys who could run better times than that., and they dont need ATI to have them drive... they do it nearly every week at our local track!

I agree with Nic, just because the morons near you cant run those times, doesnt mean noone can !

I agree with fly89gta, but remember the Mustang guys on here are the ones who dont think these things. So why make yourselves look bad by saying a Mustang cant run these times. Have one of the Mustang guys ever said an Fbody cant run a certain time??? Think about that.

 

True statement, but not what I was getting at.

The whole point is that the what a Mustang can/can't run debate is worn out at this point. With that said, I'm out. Hope everyone here has the opportunity to spend Christmas with their loved ones. See you out at the track if the bug ever hits me again... 'til then, keep it safe behind the wheel guys.

I didnt say that a stock GT couldnt go into the 13's, most dont. These debates always come up because certain individuals state GT's are high 13 second cars as if its a guaranteed fact. I am sure that if I stated that LS1 cars are high 12 second cars stock you would tell me that most people cant drive them that fast, would you not?

Download the 4.6GT drag test. I dont see what is wrong with stating that most people arent going to be running 13's in a GT if a hired driver on slicks with a catback only pulls a 13.8. You can watch the video yourself, he isnt being gentle with it.

 

First you said 13.8, when it was a 13.6...

Next you staed a 12.4 after the SC and it was a 12.1...

And yes Jim Summers is a great driver, but you have to factor the track conditions.

So with a catback, and tires it went 13.6, and you dont think it can run 13.9 in better conditions without those mods?

Whatever believ what you want, I will believe what I want, I just race with Mustangs every time I go to the track, and never get next to anything but Mustangs. You would think I know what they are capable of, guess not.

 

IM NOT A STUPID *******! Im a stupid mexican . I guess I wont believe stock mustang gt's are fast until i see it.

 

well you stupid mexican ( )it does happen

only problem a lot of ppl forget here is alt/weather and stuff like that

not everyone here lives at 98ft

so there times are of course going to be slower if they are 2000ft above sea level

granted many don't do it
just like many don't do the 12's in the LS1 cars


but like someone else pointed out


why is it a 13 second stock mustang is BULL and everyone needs to put the flame suits on

you say oh 12 second stock LS1 and it is just well he must have been a good driver or not eveyrone can do that though


what gives

 

I know what you mean.
Around here I've never seen or heard (well except for a couple of Firehawks) of a LS1 TA/Z28 running into the 12's stock. Even though I've heard many stories on the inernet about them doing so I've never called B.S.

 

I think you are missing the point so I am going to give up. People state that these cars are high 13 second cars like you are an idiot if your GT doesnt run 13's bone stock, but I dont think people realize how hard they are to get into the 13's. Later

 

Oh well, I guess after watching stock autos hit low 14s, and stock GTs hit high 13s more than a few times I thought it wasnt too hard. Saw one kid stall twice in the water to then bust off a 13.8 with welded in flowmaster mufflers. I have also driven a few of these cars (I was in a Mustang club for quite some time) and they seemed as fast as mine when I was high 13s.

 

well my friend owned a stock 98 stang 5 speed with cat back exhaust and ran a BEST of 15.5 in the 1/4. I dont think he is all that bad of a driver the car was just fat out slow. Didnt have alot of miles on it either!

 

well i have a bone stock l98 gta 1989,car ran 14.0 with headers it ran 13.7,and the mustang bullet will beat me by 3 cars at 100mph

 

How can you have a car that's bone stock with headers? lol

With just headers you ran a 14 flat? hmmm...

 

The 4.6L in the 96-98 stangs is a LOT different from the new generation of 4.6's in the 99-04 stangs.

Just wait til the 3-valves come out in '05.

 

I think his poor grammar in his post has you slightly confused tony. I think what he was trying to say is his car stock ran a 14.0 and with headers ran a 13.7. Something like that

 

lol whoops.

Regardless no way in hell a "bone stock" MAF L98 is running a 14 flat...

 

Mine used to do 14.2's with K&N drop in's but 14.0's..i doubt bone stock.

 

Downhill track in the snow?

 

I can't wait either....until they start losing to the new 3 valve LS engines. Oh well, the current 2 valve will still do a pretty good stomping on them. BTW, I raced a newer bullit 2 nights ago in my bro's 94 6 speed z28 with a cutout being the only mod. It wasnt pretty for the stang.
