lololololololol. so a car that has a 55hp AND a weight advantage some how looses?
in my experience, whenever some one "doesn't want to give their specs/pop their hood" it means they're hiding something. kinda like the time my buddy bought a 97 z28. the guy he bought it from was runing around town claiming mid-12's and apparently had the slips to prove it. BUT!
He claimed he only did some "very special tuning" of a couple of "stock things"and nothing else. no h/c/i no f/i nada. then my friend bought the car (utterly unbeknown to me)and found the lid, stall, NAWSZZZZZ tank etc. was lol.

at this point it seems to me like this guy dosnt have his facts straight, or the 2v was indeed spraying.

I posted everything there is to know. The 2v is built heads/cams higher compression on 93oct with 4.10s/t56. It is mostly a nitrous car but is no turd on motor and made 325. It is ~3300lbs WITH driver. Neon is a stage 3 car with high octane mode and q16. Not sure on power but my honest guess is 340-380. Both can drive the car to its potential. The 2v is suppose to do a 40 with a bolt-on ls2 c6 tonight. I will post the results if it happens

That GT is a low 13/12.9 car on street tires off the spray, and a mid 12 car on DRs or whatever running NA. I'd bet money its not going to trap more than 109-110. Ask me how I know. Spraying... yea, different story.
Stage 3 SRTs with toys and all that **** run low 12s, high 11s on slicks and trap anywhere from 115-120 mph. Its obvious that the GT outran him, and props to him, but it flat out doesn't add up, that's all. Welcome to the S/S section, lol.
The 3300lb with driver does throw off my estimates up there^^^ but not enough to yank that SRT like he did without giggle gas.

Just going to throw it out there, I have seen GT's with built bottom end, Heads, and cams rev to 7K and make power all the way there. It possible that the GT is making more than he claims and the SRT 4 is making less than yall may think.
Judging by the video the mustang was in first gear. Meaning that they were going about 40 in first. Listen how fast he shifted. Its also possible the skittle couldn't catch traction. Another possibility was that the skittle was not in power band. Notice how the skittle is beginning to catch up right at the end.. Its all possible.
However, being an ex nitrous user... Im willing to bet, and I am 99% sure that I can tell, that he is spraying.
I can be wrong though because its been over a year..

Had it of been from a dig, fine, this would all make sense. But it was from a roll, so traps are what we have to look at and you already stated what you THINK that GT traps, but we all know in reality a Stg 3 traps considerably higher, so here we are with all the skepticism.
