Type S V/S Mustang GT

I was at the gas station in town when this GT pulls up an starts talking crap, I new he had more power than me at the time but was not going to back down, He wanted to race,(I have a type S stock with exhaust only) He beats me by a car lenght..... But i did not get a good take off cause i reb my car up to high, so it was my wheels were skippin an my rpm's raced up to quick an had to shift to second,, an started catching up but still lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 What upgrades do i need to make for me to get him next time?????????????? Thankx for any help!!!

You should be able to take him right now, ive beat a couple of the 2 body styles ago mustang gt's (the round body style) with my civic si. Just get a better launch, if your planning on moding your car then, unless you plan on going turbo in the future, id go with a Cold air intake, and shorty header/race header depending on if you have emissions testing. You can beat him just have a little confidence!

I think it was a good race but he gots .20 sec better timing than i do on the Quarter but you still think i can take him??????????? He has a manual trans

if his car is stock i think you can

Sounds like you need a limited slip too.....

Cheapest things are a cold air intake, Hondata, headers and tires. Athough you should be able to take him now, any of those mods will make a big enough difference.

we are talking about a gt not the v6 there is no way that he will be the gt with an intake. They aren't even in the same class of car I would have a better chance they the type s

... What upgrades do i need to make for me to get him next time??? ...
I agree with gsxeclipse97.
However, if you really want to run with Mustang GTs, nitrous is the easiest way to go.
Otherwise, just tell him that you have a nicer interior and a higher resale value. :gay:

It depends on what year mustang it was. I have seen RSX-S' break into the 14's with just an intake, so beating a pre 1999 GT ( not sure what year they upped the HP) is completely possible.
But the mustangs like the 94-98 are 15 second 1/4 miles cars.

Exactly, thanks!

Now for you naysayers... :slap: WHAT NOW BITCH! lol sorry j/k But honestly not to get a mustang hating thread going (God i know this is what its going to eventually lead to) the 98 and older gt's really werent that fast.

Mustang hating?! Well.......I am always reminded of Jeff Foxworthy's 12 Redneck Days of Christmas - "and some parts to a Mustang GT"!!

...the 98 and older gt's really werent that fast.

The Mustang GT switched from the 5.0 to the 4.6 during 1994.
From 1994 - 1998, it had restrictive heads (I don't know why??).
In 1999, it finally came with the Performance Improved heads.
However, the pre 1994 Mustang GT with the 5.0 was a low 14 second car.
Get an N.O.S. Noszle System and give him a run for his money.

Exactly, thanks!

maybe it was a v-6 with gt symbols I've seen that around here its very sad.

Ill do ya one better, there was this guy in statesboro that used to have this mustang that had every exterior part of a saleen, he had it on his windshield too, and he had some pipes on it but I always saw it parked...I saw him driving one day and I was like that doesnt sound right...turns out it was a v6...he even had those nitrous bottle subwoofers in the back...*sigh* White rice can be worse than regular rice...

Man, that's crazy!! Why go to all the trouble - and expense! - of Saleen parts for a V6?!

Where are you getting that info from? The 93 Cobra was a mid 14 second car, the 5.0 LX was a high 14 second car and the 5.0 GT was a mid 15 second car.

The older GT's right after the 5.0's are pretty slow. I raced one on the eighth mile track and stayed neck to neck until the end...i think he won by 1 10th. Now the new body styles (not brand new but before the now retro) V6's would beat me. My friend had one with a short ram intake and exhaust and ran a 9.8 while i ran a 10.2. Well, that was his best run, but he averaged at about 10.1-10.2 in the eighth. Very surprising considering i thought i was going to tear him to shreds.

Good Grief, you're bringing up some bad memories.

I gave my deposit to the dealer and ordered my '05 GT base package.
When I go to pick it up 7 weeks later the a**hole dealer tells me some random guy offered him $28,000 U.S. and wanted me to start bidding.
I told him to f*ck himself, and the dealer finally gave me my deposit back 3 weeks later.
I should have made him sign a contract for the purchase price.

Sorry, 5.0 crate engines cost under $3,000, hence the low 14 seconds. The only people I've seen with untouched original engines don't even know how to open the hood.

Ouch, sorry to hear that.
