I would hope that you guys are running down F-bodies that are stock. You should be making a bit more power than they are with the mods you have. And THISBLOOD you should be making a lot more power if i remember correctly on what your setup is. I am by no means saying that the 05/06 GT's are slow and cant beat an LS1. I am just saying that i have been noticing a lot of cockiness lately about the issue and that the GT guys seem to think that the LS1 guys would be hesitant to race them. I asure you they are not.
The real problem is that the LS1 is setup very well and can put down some awesome times and numbers. Where the trouble is, is that there are a lot of guys out there running them with very little expirience or that just cant drive very well. Now I know that goes for all cars as well. But the F-bodies need a good driver to really shine, sadly i was not up to the task the first few times i went to the track. The F-bodies can be 12 second cars bone stock, no mustang GT can say that, F-bodies can hit over 106mph bone stock, again no mustang GT can say that. You guys have just so far ran up against stockers, which i think is very rare.
My one expirience with racing a 06 Black GT was an easy kill. I think it was stock though and an auto, on the freeway. But it was such an easy win i didnt even go WOT.
The important thing here is that i need to get my car back up so i can race Sleeper05 and put the beat down on him, lol. And I am going to say it again, mod to mod, stock to stock, all things equal the F-bodies will outperform the 05/06 GTs everytime. To think any differently is just foolish. And to think (now im gonna hear it) they came out 8 years ago. And still have better performance, hahaha.

This guy I ran upon was definately not stock. You got to understand, I have a friend at work with an SS that has 406RWHP. I race him every chance I get. That thing is insane. HE even says when I get my cams, I'll be right there with him. In fact, after he drove my car, he got an 06 Stang. That will tell you what the new stangs are about. My other co-worker's 04 Cobra has 414 RWHP and we went from a 20mph roll yesterday in second and he had me by 3 cars by the time we was at 100. No LS1 is going to do that with minor mod's, I'm sorry.

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.
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.
Which is what made crawling up his arse very amusing. He wasn't so sure about that lil ole GT behind him, I bet[sm=icon_sneaky.gif].
This guy was scared[X(], and so was the other one. Now I know as much as anyone how cocky the f-body drivers are, that's why I'm going to spank them when I get the chance to race one with similar mods. Sure, I'll get spanked some too, but I bet you it won't be a cake walk. I agree with you on one thing I fear STI's and EVO's more so than I do f-bodys. All wheel drive launches are a killer. F body's are in my league with the same traction issues, etc...

I'm talking stock for stock you guys are saying that the Mustang GT could beat an 05/06 GTO and Charger STR8? Equal drivers?
I certainly would hope not. All else being equal (stock for stock, mod for mod, auto vs auto), my car could usually take out a 3V GT and an 05/06 GTO would take me out.

Equal drivers or magazine racing, I'm assuming no. On the street/track in the real world where it counts, sure it can be done often and already has. The day where f-bodys can chuckle at GT's is over. I'm sure the 05/06 predecessors where frustrated with the difference in power and what not, but that gap is seriously smaller. Anyone who knows racing knows that a car with up to 50 or so more horsepower can be beaten because racing side by side is different from car and driver, etc...

i hear ya dude. . . i've smoked plenty of LS1's that were stock. . . and to be honest, from a dig, it was terrible, like 5 cars or more. . .
hell i've even outrun 03 Cobras, and 06 Saleen SC's at the track just from driving. . . and i know their car is faster. . .
i think our car is just engineered to be a drag car, from the solid rear, perfect weight shift, and the sinking rear suspension, just hard to beat unless you have a LOT more power. . .
just my .02
Yeah, I was surprised when I saw the truth at the track. I was expecting them to leave us fairly easy. My friend's 05 had the pleasure of beating an SS by about a car length at the track. I didn't get that chance[>:], but I went 4-1 against him. Yep, this car is set up to be a drag monster if you want it to be. The LS1's have had plenty of years to experiment and get the impressive times and such. The new stangs are just getting started. I'm going to try and pay this thing off quickly so I can get the new Boss 302(5.0)[sm=drooldude.gif] that's coming out to compete with the Camaro. It's expected to have around 390 horspower at least.

I still will and do chuckle at any mustang i see. One did give me a good surprise though. But he was running a S/C and putting down a good amount more than i was. Let me know how it goes undefeated when you run into a F-body with equal mods, including gears. That will be a funny one. STI's and EVO's are the least of my worries. I dont worry about either of them at all. I know there are those that could beat me, and it doesnt take them a whole hell of a lot to reach that point, but i still dont worry about it.
