Well you're talking about highway rolls. Of course the Z will come out ontop because of the mid-high RPM HP and weight playing less a role than a launch. Mustangs seem to be designed for the 0-60 but not 60-120. I don't even know many other cars that will keep up from 120-150. When I used to be a part of an f-body club, we used to just go upto 145 (ridiculously stupid now that I think about it), and other cars would try to jump in but just seem to disappear in the rear-view within seconds.

Pewter- 1999 Camaro SS-M6 #1775
My friend just bought a 99 mustang GT and it has 96,000 miles on it.
it is clamed to be stock but I believe it has a new performance clutch. anyway we raced a bit from like a 20 roll and i had trouble with traction, but once i got in to the top of 2nd and 3rd i was gone.
there is a big difference in power and weight from 98 -99 with the GT's.1999 Camaro SS/ Pewter/ #1775 - LS1 6-speed - Predator 3 Custom Tune - Pro 5.0 - LS7 Clutch - 3.90's - Koni's - Strano Springs and Sway Bars - SFC's - Full UMI Chassis and Suspension - LS6 Intake PnP TB - ARH LT's and Kitty Ran Away - Magnaflow.

silver- 2000 Audi S4
A mustang with 3:73's is going to be quick off the line but it is when they have to hit 3rd gear that is going to be when you start pulling. I used to have a 95 gt with the 5.0 and when I got rid of it I was only dynoing 220hp and 280 lb/ft but I could take a relatively stock ls1 or lt1 off the line. 3rd gear is when I would get pulled on . Now I have the ls1 and my buddy has a stock 93 5.0 with just 3:73's and he stays pretty close until we get to about 60 mph then I pull on him like crazy. Next time race from a roll or race a distance that will require more than 60-70mph and the outcome should be different. Good luck.

Torch Red- 1999 Corvette Hardtop
I hate 1st gear races. They dont mean $hit.
Re race to 100mph or so (150 if your feeling frisky) and you will put some links on him.
It sounds like a traction issue, Less horsepower cars will get traction easier.
So he probally hooked better, also you scratched second pretty hard, that probally cost ya the race.
Off the subject, a little, but did you say you know the guy, why havent you re raced yet??
I totally agree with the 3 honk thing, the "honker" always jumps the 3rd honk in every single video I watch on the web.

Legend Lime Green- 2005 GT Mustang
What mustang forums was it? Try Mustangforums.com, people are a lot better there and there are a few LS1/Import drivers there as well.
You should have handled the GT pretty easily, he definitely has his car setup for short runs. Lower Control Arms, and Upper Control Arms will easily shave a few tenths off a 1/4. The Aluminum drive shaft was probably a 1 piece, in the S197 GT(2005+) they are on average around 40 lbs lighter.
