Burnt by a stang :(

[MidwayAvenue]

This 99 mustang GT pulled up to me at a light and started reving the engine, he had an exhaust for sure, pretty damn loud, thinking he could take out my stock ls1...light turned green left him from the start....funny thing, is after slowing down we were on a 2 lane road, and there was a old man heading towards us going the wrong way in his mini van...it was kinda funny after he swerved off the road to get out of our way...

He has an auto, its a 700R4. (Thats what he told me in a PM.)

lmao. nicee :P lucky that mini-van wasnt tricked out haha =P

well, the 150 is possible if rear end gearing is really low?

I have had my 99 T/A LS1 for about 2 months. The first weekend I had it I took it to the strip. I live in tulsa, OK; Its a kinda small town, but there is alot of cocky people around here. So first race I have is with a camaro SS. we take off at about 40, stay head to head the whole time untile traffic catches up, then a cop comes behind me so i turn at the light. turn back around and a group of stang SVTs are in front of me. they all turn around in the Wal-mart parking lot, so I follow. the 3 of them pull out and im at the back. The light ahead turns yellow, the 2 cobras in front go and the one in back stops. Im next to him and we just look at eachother and take off at green. My t/c was still on, we were head to head untile 2nd, then i started pulling on him, got to about 95 and stoped. I was shocked that my car could take a svt, it was only by about 7 feet, but still. It was a older model. All I have on my car is a Cold air package and cat back exhaust, and it is a A4.

I think CObras arent that fast, actually..they only have about 5 more hp than the normal stangs, the only difference is the suspension package..(correct me if im wrong..?)
i read that somewhere...

or was that the bullit mustang...
eithier way, im sure ur LS1 has more power then a 4.6 :]

cant beat displacement...

I also found it odd. I have owned a 95 3.4 Firebird and a 97 3.8 firebird so I can say this from experience. The V6 Firebirds only had speedo's that went to 125. But that's not why I find this so strange. They all came governed from the factory at around 117 mph. So even if you held the pedal to the metal, the fuel will cut out somewhere between 117-120. Main reason for this was because the tires GM put on these cars were only speed rated for 118 mph. I have run my V6 birds to where the governor kicks in so I know what it feels like to hit that "wall".

So yes, I find it very odd in deed.

On the original topic,

I was embarassed at the track once by a very strong 03 Cobra. I ran 13.4 @ 105 to his high 11's @ 115 or something like that. I don't keep my old slips unless it's a new best so I am going off memory. But I remember seeing him cross the finish line shortly after I passed the 1/8th. My face must of looked like

But I've beaten a few 5.0's and one GT so I guess you just take the good with the bad.

Actually Cobras are much stronger than there little brother the GT.

93' Cobra = 235 HP / GT = 205 HP
94-95' Cobra = 240 HP / GT = 215 HP
96-97' Cobra = 305 HP / GT = 215 HP
98' Cobra = 305 HP / GT = 225 HP
99',01' Cobra = 320 HP / GT = 260 HP
03-04' Cobra = 390 HP / GT = 260 HP

mustangs BLOW. I cant tell u how many we have at our school and they think its the fastest car in the lot. But when my trans am pulls in all the confidence seems to disapear. As far as cobras go, yes they are fast....BUT ford needs a SC to beat a car thats already out of production. Go to the mustang sectoin under the thread "ur thought on the 04 cobra." Ppl think cobras are so fast... yeah they prolly are but by how much?? a stock 04 cobra runs in the high 12's. My friends dads ws6 ran 13 flat BONE STOCK (good driver). so the timing isnt off by much. put the same eaton SC in the WS6 and lets see who will win????

I can't get Mustang owners to mess with me, even Cobras. I think the "Formula" sticker on the back bumper scares them. They don't know what it means. The new cobras may shut us all down (well, maybe not Luos), with 500 horse they are going to be tough to beat without a blower or major nitrous.

[94LT1formulaV8]

k boys heres a story... im in high school and i was on my way home ( i have a 94 lt1 formula) and a 97 gt mustang pulls up at the stop lights. i was like wow this is going to be fun. So i waited and waited the light turned green and i took off i looked next to me and the dude was stayin with me. So i was going about 40 and it hit 3rd gear rolled the tires and i looked in my rear view he was way back there. My next target is a 04 clica Gt what u think?

[ikeyballz]

dude formula, im pretty sure even I can take a celica GT... and i have a 88 formy. lolz they arent too quick. well, sorry;; misinfo about the cobra..i guess i was thinking of the bullit mustangs.. yeah, ive seen some stangs running real fast quarters too.. but stock for stock..i must say, i like the transam look better...the engine sound too. the chevy 350 seems to have a more musclecar sound while the OHC 4.6 stangs have a smoother sound...i love that rough-idle (hotcamsound) its fckin awesome... lol

i must say, i dont know whats wrong with the track here in hawaii..well its eithier that or the drivers...
we're almost 0 elevation, but my friends STi barely ran a 14. hes been around the high 14s... whats wrong with his car? its boosted 5-6lbs.. lol from what i heard my cars supposed to run high 14s... (5.7formy)

[!!?]

Sounds like someone got burned by nitrous. There's no way he should have blown you away if you have an LS1 or an LT1. The new Mustang is slow.

If it's an older 5.7 with FI go get a good cam, then get some injectors.

[3000gtdj]

alright alright cut it out I know those firebirds of yours have loads of torque. But you cant possibly tell me that u guys burnt every stang you have raced. Some of these things are fast, but Ford was not smart enough to give the mustang powerful engines like Pontiac and Chevy but you must admit there are some sweet stangs out there somewhere. But I dont think anyone can mess with my stang when its fully completed
