a buddy of mine just put a 9psi paxton on his stang...right now he cant even beat me because he cant keep it straight or from spinning...he is putting some slicks on there...(the street legal ones) my question is there is a guy around here with a stock 3000gt with a twin turbo....how much power do these things have? and will a mustang with approx 350hp be able to take one? its a 91 fox body GT if that makes a difference

 

3000GT VR4's are solid 13 second cars and I've seen many of them in stock form keep up with stock LS1 cars usually losing by very little. What are the specs on his stang besides the S/C? Is it an auto or 5 speed? And if he is having trouble getting traction that badly it will play a big factor seeing the VR4 is AWD and it's chances of breaking traction in stock form are slim to none with a good driver. Need some more info on the stang..

 

stang is an automatic with a b&m shiftkit, full BBK exhaust with headers and offroad h pipe with 2 chamber flowmasters and thats it besides the blower...id say its making some real good power if he could get traction he went to jegs today to get some **** im not sure what tho

 

i say if he gets traction that 3000GT should be easy pickings.

 

The 3000Gt is toast. Those cars are mid 13s stock, and the Mustang better be quicker than that. I would say the Stang is good for 12.6s with the slicks. Does he have gears in the stang, because if he did the 3000Gt would never stand a chance stock.

 

oh yeah he does have 3.73 gears in it to i forgot about that...he about to swap in a 5 speed in a month or so to so that should help some...hes got to do something about traction tho its horrible how bad his car spins

 

Buddy of mine has a 3kgt and ill tell ya what those things are nuts. he just dropps the clutch a 3000 rpms with the all wheel drive and tears people up. he doesn't have alot of mods but still he is in the 12's already after the few mods he has. make sure he hasnt played with the turbos and just get the stang to hook up and you have a chance.

 

VR4's and R/T Stealths run about a 14.0 stock, and can get real fast real quick with carefully chosen mods. Off the line, they're very hard to beat, but eventually the AWD starts to hurt. Bottom line: the stang has to power to take him, but in a 1/4 mile race, does he have the traction? Cause if not, he's in trouble. He still might catch up if theres enough road/track left once he can get the power all to the ground.

 

Your friend stands a better chance through the 1/4 than he does stoplight to stoplight or through the 1/8th. I ran a VR4 a few months ago before the C4 and barely beat him to ~80 but was starting to pull harder and harder the faster we were going. My car was running solid low 13's at the time. With what your friends got, he ought to be somewhere in the 12's. I'd expect him to trap around 110 - 115 after he gets all the tuning issues out of the way.

 

Mid 13's?? I hear they run around 13.7. Some1 needs to put a TT on an L98 just to see.

 

if you wanna donate the money I'll keep my IROC and do it..

 

OK.

 

hey you said someone needed to do it.. I figured i'd volunteer and just ask for a simple donation.

 

Theres a really cool black one in town, he put a new exhaust on it two weeks ago sounds cool.

He has slips for 13.6 and his only mod then was a K&N.

There launch is there best weapon.

 

"Your friend stands a better chance through the 1/4 than he does stoplight to stoplight or through the 1/8th."

Exactly my point. The VR4 can launch, but the Mustang will outpower it in the end given enough road/track. Plus AWD mechanical drag will be soaking up more and more power the faster the 3KGT is going.

A freind of mine raced one a couple times at the track, and it kept beating him (he hada mustang) by a couple tenths. They were both quick off the line, but its still hard to launch like an AWD. If I remember, it looked like he would have caught him with just a little more track. But this was like 1 1/2 years ago so I may just be remembering what I want to remember
