Default factory freak maybe?

i had a run in with another gt, he was a manual. he had an exhaust and an sct tuner, not sure if he had an intake or not, but we went from a roll and i stayed right with him on all the runs, in fact i pulled on him just a tad on one of the last runs. all i got is a k&n air filter. so i wanted to see if there is a possibility that i might have one of the gt's that came out from the factory a little more powerful. i know i should have it dynoed, but i plan on doin that over the christmas holidays. any responses will be greatly appreciated.

thanks

First off get this Factory Freak word out of you vocabulary forever. Just because you read someone say it, doesn't mean it's sounds cool. It sounds retarded.

Second, your set up is probably about the same with that guy and it's going to be a drivers race in the end. There are a ton of variables in your situation with cars so close together. Tires size, engine temps, gas, etc....

Don't forget gears... Yes, plenty of variables that could have tossed the coin BESIDES the drivers. Plus his exhaust wouldn't have helped him unless he had headers.

But when you DO get dynoed, be sure to post the #'s.

I understand the dream of discovering you've got secret mutant powers, but...

Not all Mustang GTs are created equal. My 09 is a lot faster than my 07.
