Exactly how fast are those 02 GT's? Because the older single cam cars had a hard time peelin the skin off butterscotch puddin.  Whats a normal time for the latest GT's?  I have seen 87 LX notchback go 13.8 stone stock with no ac. i was impressed to say the least.

On my 03 Gt when it was stock I was running 14.4s all day.  The track here in Iceland isnt kept up well and is really oily so I couldnt hook em up at all.  On a nice track or with ET Meats It would hit 13.9s all day.  Im sure of it.  A guy from my other forums posted his stang running 13.87 bone stock and had the clip to prove it.  It all depends on the traction, temp, humidity and the alignment of the planets.

Hey JC....did those 1.6 rockers make a decent amount of improvement on the performance?

the 99+ is definately not a timid bunch of cars.


EDIT: with only 3.73's my brother's 02 can now chirp in 4th.  used to in third before that.

I'm getting them put on either 2day or later this week....I'll let u know when I get them on....From what I understand it just cuts down friction which may free up a little hp but probably not much....I think lol

You are ignorant and blind.

Hope you never use a blower or turbo with that attitude.

Same result, more money invested.

*L* i guess im ignorant because I wont use nitrous....


I think your ignorant for judging someone on what they will and will not use on there car. I have no reason for nitrous....I dont race alot I have my stang to cruise in thats what I wanted....so for me nitrous would be a waste of money...


In my opinion your ignorant
