tell me why would you have thought you or he would have won?

2001 SILVER GT
75mm TB
Ported C&L Plenum
JLT CAI
Magnapack Catback
UPR O/R X Pipe
4.10
Predator
MGW Shifter
Chrome Saleen wheels
H&R springs
KYB adj shocks/struts
Cobra Front end

those mods vs a 400 hp newer car? he has maybe 240-250 hp
Stock vs. stock, LS2 GTO' run 13.1-13.3 on avg, a 99-04 Mustang GT with 5spd and avg driver runs a 14.0-14.2, now with your mods and your weight advantage, I think the GTO would win, but by only a few tenths, you could probably run a 13.5 or so. So the lengths you lost by are about right. Nice runs you had.

Your joking right? he won't hit a mid 13 without a drag radial. The TB, CAI, cat back and ported plenum all together maybe give a max of 10 hp, most of those mods are completly useless on untill he has ported heads and cams. The only things that might help are the tune and 4.10's

They are fast,not quite as quick as a '03 Z28 but close.[:-]
The LS1 GTOs will get beat, but a LS2 equipped GTO will show any of the LS1 fbody cars nothing but licence plate with a capable driver.

It weighs a bit more, but 400 horsepower > 320 horspower (not to mention LS2 > LS1
[sm=icon_stickpoke.gif]Someone failed to see the sarcasm in comparring a '07 GTO with a '03 Z28.Oh well.

Snakeman I got the sarcasm [sm=smiley36.gif]
And if you want to compare it to an LS1 it would be more like 350>310 (most dyno results stock). It's got about a 40 HP advantage but the extra weight doesn't help matters. Stock for stock it should win by acouple tenthsat the track. I do agree though LS2>LS1 [sm=signs007.gif]

I was surprised how bad i beat a 00 z28 m6 from a roll and on a highway ( i'm an a4) i'm also stock and he just a k&n on the highway we went from 60 to like 130 he put an instant car on me but by the time i hit 85 it was lights out I beat him by like 4 cars. Ls2's are pretty impressive up top. I was reluctant to buy onefrom what everybody was saying on the mustang boards calling them " slow" well trust me these things are far from slow and a good deal at around 30k

I talking almost worthless as in dollars, not horsepower. If you don't believe it go to KBB.
There's a limited # of those cars,so don't be surprised if they hold their value quite well. Yes, the exterior is not the flashiest,but the interior is VERY good.

If I could take the heart and soul (engine and interior) of my GTO and put it in a new Mustang I'd have the perfect car. Oh well, thanks for not bashing us goats to hard ponymen. Cheers.
