2002 Mustang GT, Now I need the "Y"
I have been pretty cocky when it comes to Mustang GT's. I have raced 4 different ones and won each time.
Here is the thing, I never have gone against the newer one. The 94-98 GT's(stock) are the ones I have taken. In 99 they beefed them up to like 260 hp, and I have never gone against one of those.
Well I got a taste of the new GT's, and he walked me pretty good. From a stop till about 60mph I ended up 3 or 4 feet off his back bumper. I was not all that disapointed, Although he was an auto.
I do believe once I get a Y-pipe and cat back I should be able to give the 99+ GT's a run for their money. The auto's shouldn't be a problem. Untill then I will stay away from the newer Mustang GT's.

If you can drive well, you will give the autos a run for their money or even win by a little. 5speeds will still walk you though. Nothing you can do, they are just faster til you get more mods.

People here underestimate stangs too much. They take to mods ALOT better then us...Mike, just be humble and expect to get raped. If you find a 5spd your toast, and if he's modded it'll be like your standing still.

unless you become boosted of some sort, with juice or s/c you will not take a newer GT (auto or 5speed) granite mustangs suck, they are built bad and lack a lot. but face the facts 4.6 260hp vs 3.0 190. im not saying it cant be done, but those things are underestimated, even the auto's run very low 14's. some maxes can accomplish that but not to many while staying N/A. although the older model GT's are just toys for us to play with

I would like to think when I finish my exhust I could give a STOCK 99+ a run for their money, mainly the autos. Unitll then I won't mess with a GT that was made in the last 3 years.

Does anyone know the stats for a '95 5.0L Stang? (the one with the newer body style, not the old foxbody) My "friend" has a '95 5.0 automatic COMPLETELY stock, and he says it runs the 1/4th in high 14's - 15.1
I just wanna know if this is true...of course he and his other friend say he can smoke my "weedwacking import".

Me 15.1@94mph against the 02 15.1@94mph
Me 15.1@94mph against the 01 15.0@95mph
Yes, these times were pathetic for both the Stangs and myself. I didn't feel to bad after watching two LS1 F-bodies pulling off consistent mid to high 14s at 97-98mph.
Do Stangs suck? No way. I've got a ton of respect for any 87+ Stang. It is entirely too easy to make a Stang extremely fast, especially the 87-93 5.0s. I would love to have a 90-93 LX 5.0 notchback as a project car.

Last Wednesday night, I went to the track and I got to race 2 later model GT 5 speeds (01 and a 02). One was stock and the other had at least mufflers. Conditions were less than ideal (80, 80% humidity, slightly wet track from the earlier rain). With very similiar 60 foots (high 2.3s due to a wet launch pad) and reaction times to the Stangs, the results were quite interesting:

Of course I was serious... auto GT 99+ stangs are good for mid-high 14s and thats WITH the advantage of RWD launches. Most 5speed 4th gens are good for mid-high 14s as well, and thats WITHOUT the launch advantage. So negating the RWD launch advantage of the RWD stang... a modded 5spd 4th gen will hang very well.

He "might" have pulled on me 1-2 feet, but the ETs and MPHs were nearly identical. His 15.18@94.30 to my 15.19@93.90. After the race we chatted. He said he would have never figured my black sedan was going to go toe to toe with him. He even said that the "Japs" know how to make a V6 run. Isn't that the truth.

Did you ask him about his driving skills? Did he launch? He must of done something wrong to of run a 15.1....anyways good race Dave.
