a bolt-on 05 v6 will most def be able to break into 14s, and some have done it stock but not many (most around 15.3). user "scrming" has a yellow v6 on a 100 shot and he runs 13.1 @ 106. that is impressive considering v6 mustangs historically.

i had a 97, i know they are slow as shlt

 

hes gonna get you, gears will help him and he has more torque, torque wins races, not HP

 

an l98 3rd gen will walk you, esp off the line.

 

Um, are you out of your mind?

L98 TPI with 3.73 has more torque than you care to know about. It will tear him a massive butthole off the line and then proceed to dump salt and hot sauce in the new cornhole he just ripped this guy.

Maybe I'm just having a bad day, but you are so full of crap it drives me insane, I tried to be nice about it but you can run door to door with 03/04 Cobra's in your 13 second 300RWHP barely modded 05 GT and you think an 05 V6 with exhaust and a tune can beat a L98, 245HP & 330TQ & 3.73 gears in a 3200lbs car?

Please.

 

0wn3d!!! lol

 

My dad has one of those, an '89 GTA. It produces a ton of torque right off of idle (340 @ 2000) and gears would help it exploit that torque. Roll racing is kinda metro IMO, but it would be your only chance.

 

come on dan , the three valves make the cobras look like hyundais'. just cause you have four valves, a blower and 80 hp and just as much torque doesnt make you faster. the 05/06 v8 and v6 stangs own all man.

 

why even race that TA could probably hit high 13's if it was a 5 speed

those L98's arent something to contend with unless you got a heavily modded 5.0/4.6 or a 351

i drove one (im partial GM guy what can i say) and it would absolutely smoke my mustang which runs 14's

whoever said third gen f-bodies are ugly is an idiot. those are some of the most exotic and aerodynamicaly efficient american cars ever made

 

I personally think they are beautiful cars when they are restored.

The 305TPI wasn't much slower than a 5.0, they 5.7 never got matched up against the 302 5.0 from Ford....for whatever reason.

245hp & 330TQ with 3.73 gears will make for one hell of a neck snapping car from a light. They aren't heavy at all and they out-perform on the road course and a great base to start with at the drag strip.

My Iroc-z 'Vert felt more stable in turns & at high speeds than my GT & Cobra...

 

werd danny boy! i think a vast majority of people are thinking of 305 tbi engines in contrast to the 305 tpi engines found in later models.
