I got a 03 GT Coupe auto and my bro has a 03 GT Conv. 5 spd. and my friend has a 03 GT Conv. auto, does anyone know about what these cars run in the 1/4. My guess is:</P>


My 03 coupe auto:14.5</P>


Bro 03 Conv. 5spd:14.2</P>


Friend 03 Conv. auto:14.7</P>


Does that sound about right?</P>


</P>

yup ran a 14.4 stock with hrdtp 5spd. There has been talk of 03 gt's hitting 13.8 stock but I have never seen a 03 Gt run faster than 14.2.

Does anyone know of how much of an handicap an auto is? I know most cars lose a lot compared to the stick but I heard the Mustang is about even.

Fat Nick, I saw in a roadtest article in some mag that a stick in a GT is close to a second faster, but I have never witnessed that. You can definitely get a shift kit for your auto that will drop several .10's off your times, but it may void warranty ifyou ever had problems. I am calling it a night. I noticed you are a newbie too, so I look forward to chatting with you soon. C-ya.</P>

Your 03 Coupe Auto should be able to run with a Convertible 5 speed...</P>


Post the numbers off your timeslip.</P>

AODEs sap alot of power, don't shift high enough, and shift pretty soft. You lose 22%-24% compared to a 5spd's 17-18%

because you are under warranty i suggest you change your gears first.. go with 3.73's. untill you finish your mods, don't get a cpu and you will have to burn it again with mods. if you go witha shift kit, transgo makes a good one.. cheap too like 199.99 and makes a huge difference.. shift kit and gears, your aode will shock ya</P>


your car is probably a 14.9 to 15.2 car stocik.. with gears and a shift kit, with a good lauch and some bolt ons, you could be all over the 13.9-14.2</P>


gears 200</P>


shiftkit 200</P>


intake, tb, maf 560</P>


exhaust 400</P>


1400 bucks and you will be rolling</P>

I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE CLAIM THAT THEIR MUSTANG GT'S RAN A 13.8 STOCK ALSO AND ALL THE YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN TO THE TRACK I HAVE NEVER SEEN A STOCK GT RUN 13'S. I THINK THEY ARE GENERALLY IN THE 14.2-14.4 RANGE.
