Depends on how fat the chick driving the mustang is.

I give it to the Mustang. Sorry. You may be able to hold him off for a little while (like till 60 maybe a bit higher?) but he will be gaining on you and the longer you race the farther ahead he will get. He has superior top end.

But then again you never know, anything can happen on the street!

87IROCZCamro

He has a stock Auto transmission and I got a 700r shift kit and I have tested my car doing 0-60 in about 5.8-6.0

RicksIroc86

i think you may win, a buddy of mines got an 05 5 speed gt and i had him in first gear and half thru second but then he passed me and pulled, but i have a 190 hp 305 so i think you should have him

87IROCZCamro

I have my car rated at around 250-260hp

leek157

Youll kick his *** those mustangs are slow as hell, I have smoked so many of those even when my iroc was running like ****

87IROCZCamro

Finally someone thinks a CHEVY will beat a piece of **** FORD!

leek157

O yea i have a friend whos a ford fan and i went with him to test drive a 99 mustang gt and it didnt even spin the tires off the line and it didnt have traction control, hey where in chicago are you located, thats one nice lookin iroc youve got, are you plannin on goin to third gen fest this year?

87IROCZCamro

Thanks Man I live by Orland Park (About 30 Miles or less south of chicago). I cant go this year Because I dont have my license yet but I will have it in some local car shows

leek157

well im in lisle its around naperville woodridge and third gen fest is in crete so its not really that far from where you are

Can you beat a bone-stock 2008 Mustang GT?

Which one is it? A stock '87 L98 should have 225 hp and 330 ft lbs of torque. What have you done to yours? What do your minor mods consist of?

Is the Mustang a 5 speed or an automatic? If it's a stick, can the guy drive? Either way, take him from a dig and you should have him. Like Darkshot said, he may edge you out in the top end, so make sure you put enough distance on him from the outset to keep that from happening.

I wouldn't really consider anything with 260 hp and 300 ft lbs of torque stock to be "slow as hell"

If the Mustang is an auto it really is slow. It's a serious performance gap between the auto's and the 5 speeds in those cars. They really REALLY need gears and a stall. I don't know what you've done to get your car to 260 hp, are you just guessing that? Go race him, you should win. I've seen a basic 4 door Cadillac with the bigger Northstar engine keep up with a 2000 Mustang GT auto before.

iTrader: (13)

I didn't know there was such a difference in performance between the auto and 5 speed Mustangs. I've only ever gone against 5 speed GT's and they're pretty quick.

Those Northstars are no joke though, my Uncle's '00 Eldorado ETC with the 4.6 Northstar felt every bit as quick as my car when he let me drive it.

89IrocZ350TPI

The 99-04 5 speeds run 14.0-14.2's. I think you could take him in the 1/8 mile, but if his car is in tune, and he can drive, he should get you in the 1/4. I see your car running high 14's. Which is what an auto GT will do. Good luck, I hope you take him.

87IROCZCamro

no, but it wouldnt be a blow out

I got a new engine in mine. I didnt install the engine and it is a 5.7 but I dont know all about the engine. Its fast as hell though. I have new air filters with intake exhaust and some other tunes the previous owner did.

87IROCZCamro

I had a list of mods that have been done ive shown to some people at shops and they say (estimated) 250-260. I am getting it dyno this summer

ok maybe not slow as hell but it deffenatly wasnt nearly as fast as i expected it to be and it was an automatic convertable with 3 people in the car one fat as hell, but the same people that are in the iroc and it still spins the tires in 2nd and accllerated faster

so theyre not slow as hell but theyre not fast

myTreadZz

big difference between stick and auto mustangs, Ford auto trans FTL

leek157

same kid who i test drove the mustang with has an uncle with an 07 gt 5 speed, from what i hear its pretty fast theyre like it burns out in 2nd and so does my car, so we drove by this back road where they opened up the mustang and there are 2 gigantic one wheel burnouts, and then i said well thats why your burning out in 2nd thin tires and no limited slip, the same kid also says my camaro is about just as fast or it would be a close race, i havent got a chance to race him, i want to though

87IROCZCamro

Your right it wouldnt be a blow out, would you lose yes but its not going to be enough to say your car is slow.

This go down yet? I want to know what happens

87IROCZCamro

Yea it did, guess who won. I took him in at a stop and a roll (20mph) I got him by 5 car lenghs in both. GO CAMAROS

well ik u would win, heres some facts, mustang gts stop getting anyhting bigger then the 4.6 since 98, so u already have a bigger stronger engine, and 2 ford auto r slow, no matter who u r, they r slow, for osme reason the chevy auto r faster, but ur being mod, just made it better. 3rd camaros r then ones with top end speed, not mustangs...and besides camaros r more areodynamic
none the less nice win, way to keep showing how chevys r deffently bettet then fords

89IrocZ350TPI

damn, he must have had one crappy auto

SNIPING92BIRD

i dont know but i raced 05 slowstang GT on my 92 305 TBI firebird with hypertech and flow master 3" and lil DIY from red light to 93mph and my front bumper was by her front fender and didnt seem like she was pulling away much, maybe she couldnt drive or w/e but it still slow lol now i would rip those things apart even the modded ones with my Z and good job man there was no doubt in my mind.

rx7speed

congrats on the win.

maybe she wasn't racing

SNIPING92BIRD

everything possible i dont know what she would call it then after going 90+ on 40 but w/e... she did look HOT tho w/e she was doing she was close to me no matter how you look at it lol

rx7speed

eh only other thing I can think of is she might of been a little pear shaped. you know just like an iceburg 90% of it is below the surface and the extra weight just made her run a little slow

As of right now I think my car would loose to a v6, just finished the brakes rear axle oil change fuel filter all new cap rotor plugs coil and wires and fixed a bunch of loose fraied and broken wires, the car started up right away and ran beautifully then started missing once it was in gear started missing real bad and it bearly had any power, so now its back to school and hook it up to all the computers and stuff to find out why its being gay

Vash Vega

did you check your injectors,are they stock

leek157

ya theyre stock, thats a nother thing i was gona hook up a few different scopes to the injectors and plug wires, make sure all the injectors are opening and closing properly and see what the ignition wires and plugs are doing

Vash Vega

check the resistance on your injectors,i had a similar problem and it turned out to be my injectors two where bad and i replace them all with some bosch 24 lb injectors
----------
and check your timing also

leek157

I thought the timing was electronic and could not be adjusted

Vash Vega

http:/www.thirdgen.org/settingtiming yes it can be adjusted with a timing light,use the search feature on this site you can find alot of things about your car

leek157

well i checked the resistance on all the injectors there all stock and 21 years old the resistance is around 17.5 to 18 ohms higer than spec but they are all about the same, all the injectors are working too, but i was not able to get a pulse width on them because of the rubber cover on the injector harness i was not able to back probe them, the car is bogging down horribly, i have no idea what is causing it

leek157

err not 17.5 to 18 higer than spec the max in spec is 15 so its about 3 ohms higher the multi meter was picking up 17.5 to 18

Are your plug wires on the right terminals? Check the MAF sensor, and set the timing.

leek157

pulg wires are in correct terminals and maf is good, timing and egr are the nly things i havent checked, manily because the egr is under the intake plenum and i dont have a timing light

bob8703

checking both of those arent hard at all. the timing is easy to adjust and check. and the egr you just have to check if it is holding vacume or not. just pull the vacume line going to it and hook up the vacume meter to it.

leek157

ill check it all out tommorow and see what happenes

Oh man this post is just... just too much, I LOVE it. Might even have to quote this and put it somewhere. Education FTW!

Also TBI cars wont run with stock 05+ GTs. My brothers went 13.7 with nothing but heavier rims on it and a shifter...
