stang vs t/a

[402 Guru]

i think u would win even if u couldnt drive.. i dont even think its a drivers race, i think its a slaughter..

true that back in december when my car was bone stock 02 t/a vs an 07 Gt with full exhaust only had a chance in first but im packing a 6 speed and the Gt was packing a 5 .so if u've got a manual u're going too smoke him an auto it will be even for a couple of gears then boom that 3rd hooks and ure gone MAke sure u get this fool too at least pay for ur gas ($20 )if he loses

wtf kinda of statment is this??? a STOCK ls1 will always beat a stock gt GRANTED equal drivers and such like you are saying.. are you people on something?

They key word in my statement is WHIP. Whenever I hear WHIP I usually think of a bad beating giving out by someone. Not just a couple of car lengths. Just read things before making statements. You used beat, I used WHIP. And I do agree with you that the stock ls1 have an advantage over the GT.

i did.. in that case.... "equal drivers" should have never been used.. cause if your gonna WHIP someone, even with a SHITTY driver in one and the driver of all drivers, it still shouldnt be much of a race..

any stang is slow. if ist close to stock its going to be slow even the gt500 is slow if a lid and catback fbody can beat it it slow

you are a retard. I guess C6 vettes are slow too.

[jrc1122]

I haven't read such BS on both sides since--- well, I guess since the last Mustang GT thread. LOL
GT500 slow??? WTF??
GT vs LS1 drivers race? WTF??

according to my time slips I am not that great of a driver (13.66 @ 104)- But I have yet to lose to any stock GT

So you can be just an "okay" driver and still beat a GT fairly easy.

[Insert]

automatic or stick? what boltons exactly? A 2.73 automatic LS1 F-bod vert against a 05+5spd GT coupe is a real close race bone stock, bolt ons should give the T/A an edge.

i think the stock trans am has an edge when its stock against a stock GT. With the bolt ons the T/A shouldn't have a problem with a GT at all, providing that the driver of the T/A is a decent driver.

Go for it, this race is yours.

I'm no expert, but from MY "experience" I have never seen a stock (or stock with at least exhaust) 2005+ Stang run better than a 13.6...Most of these guys are running in the low 14's though, but again that is just what I've seen from maybe 10-15 times at Cecil county Dragway.

When I ran my car 2 weeks ago there was a 2008 GT running high 11's though! Shit, I ran better than a friggen C6 vette!!! The guy couldn't get that thing below 13.4's, doesn't mean I can beat them all!

Why the strong language? Someone getting underneath that thick skin of yours?

so how does a s197 stang compare to a 96 cobra?

[jimmybling31]

obviously not many if you think it's not a drivers race when the HP numbers are that close as well as weight and gear ratios...

that's exactly what I was thinking. it's a good race in my book.

we all know that the LS1s were very underrated-- It puts out about 350 hp to the motor.

And the new stang is 300 to the motor (at best)

that is 50 hp-- take off about equal for drivetrain loss and I still see a 40 - 50 Hp difference.

I don't deny the new Mustang GT is the quickest stock STANG GT.. But to say it is close (equal drivers)-- don't make much sense.

Show me one driver (pro or not) that ran a 12.8 in a stock 4.6 NA modular motor from a Mustang GT.

Because that time (12.8) has been recorded by a Mustang Magazine for a LS1 equipped Fbody.

Both are pretty similar in performance, with the overall advantage going to the S197. Most M5 '05-'08 GT's put down around 260-270rwhp, where as 96-97 Cobra's average between 245-250. '98 Cobra's usually net a bit more, around 250-260rwhp due to a more aggressive PCM calab.

okay. i went for a ride in my buddies 96 cobra. it left me unimpressed.... but i told him it was decent. (didnt wanna hurt the poor fellas feelings) he wants to race once he gets his cats off.

he needs gearing more than anything.

my friends bone stock 96 Cobra put down 257 rwhp. The new GT's dyno about 10 rwhp more. Really, with the weight difference, they are equal i would say.
