RE: A Challenge: Spring Track Day
That is my bad about getting OT. Sorry.
I think it would be pretty sweet to see a GTO vs. Mustang day at the track but that is way to far to drive to watch. If someone wanted to lend me their car to compete in,I would make them proud. lol

I used to own a N/A2004 mustang GT and I've ran into alot of 5.7L cars, 1 charger,2 magnums, 3 GTO's... all of them bit the dust by a car at the very least... the only LS1 GTO I lost to was from a 40 roll and he got me by a car, and he had full LT exhaust and a FAST 90/90 swap
a modded new edge GT and a stock LS1 GTOare adrivers race

Another thread derailed
I owned a 2000 Mustang GT vert. While it was N/A it had a mid pipe, Magnaflow catback, Predator tune, short throw shifter, UDP's and 3.90 gears. It was far from fast. An LS1 GTO would have torn me a new one.

Mine was a convertible, which made it heavier and therefore slower than a coupe. I never raced an LS1 GTO while it was a modded N/A car, but I can't see it running more than a 13.8 or so. If that's good enough to put away an LS1 GTO then I stand corrected.

RE: A Challenge: Spring Track Day
I did a little search on dragtimes (everyone's favorite site). The search was used with the model years equaling 2004 and less BTW.
Slowest newer GTO ran a 13.9, and another one with the 4 speed auto ran a 13.8. [&:]

You probably didn't run GTOs like this

Does everyone forget that ripped camel had the CTS-V beat for the first two gears, then in third the CTS-V started to close the gap rather quickly which was at about 70 mph as illustrated in that thread?
He 'beat' the Caddy, but it was a short sprint up to 70. In a quarter mile, as even ripped camel states later on in the thread, the CTS-V would have passed him if they kept going. [&:]
