Good kill. I raced a Boxster, which is basically a poor mans Porsche, and somked his **** bad! His buddy was laughing while the guy was flipping me off. I just pointed and laughed and went about my business.
Yea i've raced a boxster before, but it wasn't really a race. I rode his tail down the highway and when it opened up he tried to lose me but couldnt, lol. They are not as fast as people may think.

I think it is absolutely amazing that your Stang runs high 12's with the few mods you have listed. My Stang is supercharaged with a whole mess of mods and I only run in the 12:20's if all goes perfect. The mear fact that you actually beat the Carrera by 3 cars is beyond imagination. My hats off to you!




I agree. Take a high 13 sec. car and add his mods which are really only good for MAYBE 10-15 hp at the wheels, that is not enough of an incease to hit 12.9's. I find it hard to swallow unless there is a little bottle hidden in the car.

ABSOLUTELY, UNEQUIVOCALLY!

That is only good for about 10 or 15. I think you are a little off.
Maybe 20rwhp....no more, and that's stretching it. You didn't do anything but throw on a catback and a cold air intake. You don't even have headers.

I'd bet the bank that if your car weighs over 3200lbs it doesn't run 12's with the mods you have listed.

That is all that stuff is going to give you, but I must be wrong and not know what I am talking about . I am telling you the truth, I have seen it many times on dynos.

i swear that he got more hp then 10-15 w/ his mods. im gonna have to disagree w/ you on that one. i guess we will have to bring her to the dyno and find out. what do you guys figure he would have dyno'd in stock form?

I found this dyno sheet on this site, it's a stock 2000 GT 5 spd, this was his baseline dyno run before any mods.
http://www.blayloc.com/stang/dyno-march12.jpg
it's hard to read but peak hp was 225. I have to assume that the 01 GT will put down a # close to that.
So then figure that a cat back will give you 10-12 hp (his car is N/A remember it's not the same as putting a cat back on a FI car)
maybe he will get 2-3 from the intake and tb spacer, and another 2-3 from the CAI. That adds up to 18 hp using the high estamates, again this is not going to put a full weight 01 GT in the 12's especially on street tires. Now if the car was gutted and on a DR I might belive it.
He said before that the timer at the track was messed up and did not give him a trap speed, maybe the ET timer was messed up too?
I am not trying to be a dick here but the story is just to hard to belive. And to say things like E.T. Street are not a legal tire to have on the street ( I have gone to court to prove this) just adds to my doubt of him. I have been doing this stuff for along time and I know what it takes to make cars run, thats why I called BS.

Mid 14`s at very best. Posing is one thing. Gross exageration is another. Be real!

Well, if that honestly be the case, then that is TRUELY amazing. I would estimate that it would take approximately 310 rwhp, a host of suspension mods and nice tires to run high 12's in a 3300 plus lb car with driver. Are you not listing something? Did you have your heads ported and add big cams?
