Did I talk myself into a race I can't win or do I have a chance? My 05 has cai and tune and 8.8 rear with 2.73 gears cause I haven't been able to change them yet and stage 2 clutch. Gt has headers and exhaust, cai, and stage 3 clutch.

 

You will lose. Sorry. The 05 V6 is heavier than the 04 GT and makes less horsepower and torque. Won't even be close.

 

if it was bone stock and you didnt have gears designed to get 800 mpg it would be a race....

 

Lol about the gears they are getting changed to 3.55s here next month. Maybe I will wait to race him when I get my heads and cams finished.

 

Maybe with some different gears & and 91-93 tune. Even then, the odds arent in your favor lol I've been in this situation and it didn't go my way lol :/

 

ive been even with my buddys 03 that only had flowmasters on it. that was with my 93 race tune

 

Even if I do race him I like the rush of the race more than winning at least when it is only for fun. Now if it was for a competition I would only race cars I have beat before. I will try out my 91 race tune and see what happens maybe strip my car down to lose some weight

 

Without gears and drag radials, I don't think it's going to matter.

 

I once raced a 99-04 GT. I had dual exhaust and I may have had the 91 race tune on it by then, the GT looked stock. It took me on the take off, but from there, I kept right on his tail. I agree with a previous post, if the GT was stock and if you didn't have those wimpy gears, you may have had a chance. And if you're gonna change your gears, why not 3.73s or 4.10 instead of 3.55? If your gonna upgrade, you may as well make it worth it and go big.

 

I'm going 3.55 for my xcharger install as I still am going to use it as a partial dd and want a first gear lol
