also something to consider.. most forced inducted cars would own a n/a car from a roll.... they are much quicker at roll racing... if u ran him from a dig, there probably would have been a different outcome with you staying ahead of him... hes also front wheel drive i think so that hurts him from a dig...

^^ not trying to bash ur post but the one i raced was a rocket out of the hole.

he didnt skid at all. infact he prolly hit 2nd while i was still spinning in 1st.

once i got traction though, it was all over. i slowely pulled in 2nd and in 3rd it was over. pulled 4-5 cars on him easy...

no big deal, those things get in the 13's easily. Remember, small mods on most forced induction cars take at least a second off or more.

A GTP is cheap to make fast because of the S/C.

i dont know if i would really call them fast as s***, unless its one of the intense turbo cars...

i have a friend with similar mods running 12.9's in a 98. he makes about 280 whp, i drove it, oversteer like a bitch, but it's quick. traps about 108, and on race gas he makes well over 300 hp.

this guy you raced is probably making 300 whp depending on his tune, and more torque than you. yea he might be heavy, but your car is pretty heavy too. so the outcome was about right, nothing wrong with your car, other than the fact you havent modified it yet. intake exhaust/ x pipe and a tune and his *** is grass.


i've had my 06 F150 for 8 days, i have 4 mods, a 5th in the mail, and 2-3 more plus a tuner that i'll be doing in the next month, just taking my time and doing some research.

how the hell do you guys NOT modify your cars? i can't STAND stock exhaust. ny 05 F150 had a catback at 98 miles, 18 hours after purchase. my 06 took 6 days because i ordered a magnaflow instead this time.

what the hell are you waiting for!!?? modify that damn GT!! by not adding intake and exhaust and a tune, you are cheating your car and yourself. mdifying your car will improve your quality of life. and chicks dig stangs that go vroom vroom.

My friend John has a pulley, colder plugs, cold air kit, and exhaust... He runs 13.20's on MT's... Those cars can be in the 12's with a few simple bolt ons and some tuning...

very much agreed. there was one at the track running low 13's high 12's all day a few weeks ago.... they are easy to make fast. dont think they take tons of mods to get to mid 13s either that is myth!

Yup.... seen a whole group of GTP owners run at California Speedway (Fontana,Ca) on ocassion. One on slicks runs low 12's. i talked to him a bit about it. He only admitted a larger down pipe, exhaust, cold air, etc......

Well considering its a car that's easy to put into the 13s and still be completely streetable and practical, I'd consider it fast as ****.
