thanks!
You surely have wheel hop! About 90% of the stock Stangs have wheel hop. After I lowered my Stang I have no wheel hop at all and never touched the lower control arms. Also... if you want to make your car faster I would start with the basic's and learn how to drive the car as it gets faster a little at a time... these cars can get away from you and it sounds like you are just learning how to drive it so take your time and add a little horsepower at a time... and be safe bro!

Hi, i was watching some drag videos on youtube and was wondering do you think i could run in the 12.5-12.9 seconds on the 1/4 mile with all bolt ons?

It is possible if you consider cams a bolt on. With a great suspension setup and DR's you should have a chance, with the necessary bolt on's of course.

hi,

do you think my stock 05 GT would beat my friend with his 2009 Cobalt SS Turbocharged all stock?

I think with a CAI and Tune you might have him. Not sure about those cars but with the turbo I bet he really pulls well in the higher RPM range.
