2001 GT's


I've raced the same Mustang twice. Tonight, with the girl who owns it driving and once before with her boyfriend driving. Both times I've pulled away pretty easily. It's a totally stock automatic but I thought these cars were good for low 14's. How do you guys do against them???

I don't know how you pulled easy on him. I raced an auto and I took a 1/2 a car lead and stayed there. You pulled fairly easy? That seems odd since I have the same time as you but a better mph.

The 2001 GT's are supposed to run 14.0@100mph.
But that is a manual, maybe the auto is slower?
Good Race!
