Default 02 Mustang GT w/ 3.73s quarter mile

Ive got an 02 GT with some minor bolt ons. My best time at the track is 14.1. What can i expect with 3.73s?

Without traction, not much better..

with traction, mid 13's or better

I went 13.6 with 4.10's, catback and midpipe on a 1.8 60'

Well, with the same 60ft. as your last run, and with all else the same, you might gain 2-3 tenths.

a 2v with a few good mods, gears, and a driver is capable of 104, 105, 106mph trap speeds...

This with street tires, and a 2.0 60ft is good for low 13s...

with good tires, and a good launch, high 12s...

My personal car went 13.2 at 106 with a 2.0 60ft.....

106 is not impossible with a bolt on gt... add in a 2.0 60ft and a few power****s and low 13s come pretty easy......

add tires and a 1.6 or so and high 12s can be done...

Given the right conditions i can see it happening. It would be pretty rare though. With just bolt ons and gears my best is a 13.3 @ 104 with a 2.0 60ft, and best trap was 105. This was all done in 80 degree weather too.

Definately, if you got the tires and suspension to go along with the gears you'll run as long as your not too shy with it. Right now as is I've ran a 13.519 in the heat of summer. With the new suspension going on soon and november in jersey I'm hoping for a 13.1. For a bolt on car it's all about getting it to hook up.

Do you have no top end with the 1.6 60' to get those 12s? My camaro cuts mid 1.6 60's and is around 11.60-.70s. I was cutting 2.0 60's with 14.0 times with just a catback.

By the way you would probably hit 13.70s at best.

A bolt on GT doesn't flow enough or rev high enough to run that fast. If you have heads and cams, then maybe those high 11s are possible if you can drive the ***** off of it. BTW, what's done on your camaro?
