RE: 99-04 Vs. 05+
ORIGINAL: Mustang 03 GT
I've been asking the same question. I also have a 03 GT (manual). So far I have installedan intake spacer, flowmaster American Thunder cat back exhuast, o/r h-pipe (sounds awesome with the flows) and a K&N CAI system. Within the next two weeks I will be installing Richmond 3:73 gears a SCT tunerwith a Brenspeed tune. I've got a friend that has a 06 Mustang GT that want's to race. I have been told by some guys that I will take him expecially with the tune. Have you ever raced any 3v GT's? If so was it close?

I am in the military staioned in MO. On every corner you find a Mustang. Have you been to the track in your car yet? I plan on going this summer. Before I go though I wanna race my friends 06 GT.If I can beat him or at least hang with him I'll be happy. Those 05 and above GT's are monsters, even stock!.

I know you guys probably get this question alot....however I'm interested to see what kind of numbers a lightly modded 2v will put down. Im looking at a 2003 GT with intake/93 tune/pullies/O/R prochamber/Mac 2.5" catback/4.10's. What kind or RWHP do you think this setup would make? How do you think it would fair againts a stock 3v? Thanks BTW post list of your mods (if not in sig) and say what kind of numbers your running (RWHP/1/4 ets).

If so, your not going to gain anything. A full boltons 2v should win in a race vs stock 3v, but a CAI/tune should take car of that on a 3v. the 3v will be far faster boltons vs boltons.

I don't understand, your looking to trade in your 05+ gt for a 2v???
If so, your not going to gain anything. The 2v should win in a race stock vs stock, but a CAI/tune should take car of that on a 3v. the 3v will be far faster boltons vs boltons.

A 3v with MINOR bolt ons can easily dip into the 12s where it would take a 2v some sort of FI...
The new edges are using the same old chassis and has had the same interior design since 94....
What im saying is the 05+ GTs are better than the 99-04s in every single way no questions asked. (Looks are all opinion)

RE: 99-04 Vs. 05+
one of my buddys had an '05 GT with 4.30's,auto,SCT tuned,and BBK TB and pulled 8.40's on street tires in the 1/8.
i've dealt with my share of S197's,but at the same time i've had it handed to me by a few S197's.
i was running 8.70's w/3.73's and a few boltons andtune. but now i got NAWZZZ. [8D]
