Almost lost to a 4.6 mustang GT.
Last night comming home from work a guy in a black 4.6 GT started messing with me. I got off the highway and he followed me, first light he was behind me so I gave it a good run to the nextlight hoping he would do the same and end up side by side.
I tell him if he wants to go, he says yes. Light goes green and I punch it but i forgot to take off the TC and the car sorta bogs, by the time the rpms pick back up he had a 2 1/2 car lead.  so I shift into 2nd and Im now right on his tail, I granny shift to 3rd cause of the problem with my shifter and end up side by side, by the top of third I had walked him a half car. By 4th I was only a car ahead. My trap speed is about 100 so I guess I won cause I was at 97 when we shut down. So I guess I did bend some pushrods last time I went to the track cause I should of murdered him and I barely made it out.

Re: Almost lost to a 4.6 mustang GT.
Musashi...keep it up, and I'm taking the goat away from you. No 4.6 should ever return home with "i almost killed a GTO" story. No in all seriousness I blame the French queer who sat on your hood for this.

Re: Almost lost to a 4.6 mustang GT.
What year GT? If it was a new one, and he was a good driver, combined with your bogging and having to play catch up, the outcome is very possible, especially stopping at around 100. He could have been modded too

Re: Almost lost to a 4.6 mustang GT.
it was either a 96 or 97
I threw a bad shift the other night at the track, probably bent a few PRs so thats why the car is running like crapola!

Re: Almost lost to a 4.6 mustang GT.
Good kill. Did you ever rev your motor? It's hard to bend a pushrod. Get it to the dealership, and they should repair it for free. Make sure not to tell them that you've been racing it.

Re: Almost lost to a 4.6 mustang GT.
He ran 14.9 sec. at 9X mph. That's well within 99+ GT Mustangs times, or a well modded 96+ model.

My trap was 100.29 mph with a bad launch with the good one was the misshift and that ended up being 93.56 mph Actually I ran a 14.801 last time with misshift and all! I think I got the hang of the launch but the mis-shift killed me. It was funny cause the run was against an SRT-4 and he bogged the launch too. He ended up passing me but still ran a slower time.  also I took some video and ran it side by side with a chronometer. Im loosing a good second to second and a half on launch. So thats why the high 14s! and wouldnt you know it when I land the solid take off I end up bombing the shift! Im a looser. hey maybe I can get "fastest car with slowets time" award?
