Until we can see what you run, there is no way of knowing. But consider a LS1 with only a couple bolt-ons. Lid, filter, and cut-out traps in the neighborhood of 107-110. You may get a 107 trap, but i really doubt you are going to pull anything higher. Which would just about put you even with an LS1 with only a couple basic bolt-ons. Its hard to find a completely stock LS1 which is what you would need to race in order for you to be so confident that they are scared of your GT.

It can all come down to setup as well. I am still beating my roommates 98 SS from a roll or a dig, and i still dont even have my 2nd gear fixed yet. Shifting from 1st to 3rd. But he is lowered and has to hard of suspension to get good traction. Anyway keep on thinking that there afraid of your car, but i can guarantee you that they arent. The guy in the SS in your other story that raced the STI probably thought the STI had mroe to offer him in the way of competition. I would think the same thing if i saw a new mustang GT.
i had a 110+ trap, then i modded more, and got a 108trap [:@] fu(king A

edit: im about 5-0 with mach 1's, about 12-4 with ls1 cars (two were highly modded vettes that raped me, but nitrous isn fair), and 4-0 with ls2 cars (all gto). track experience polls that regardless of circumstances and drivers, there is a trend developing there that suggests the new stangs can hang pretty well with lsx cars and their competition

edit edit: i never ran stock though, and i doubt i could do better than about a .500 batting average with those cars in that situation. however, most of them were modded to some degree as well, but i probly had more done on average. stock for stock, any ls1 car (save for the slow ass ls1 gto [8D]) will walk a stock stang. however, the game gets interesting considering how well these cars accept mods and how well they put down their power.
