2001 Mustang Gt vs. 1996 Trans Am - 7/22/2006 12:58:19 PM    01and96stanggt   Posts: 244 Joined: 5/18/2006 Status: offline my 2001 gt, with just flowmaster catback and o/r h pipe, vs. a stock trans am lt1, and the t/a was an automatic, the first time we ran I launched really good and to my surprise it wasn't really close I'd say 5 car lengths and still pulling, than he wanted to race again so we did and I launched at 3.5k and I spun all the way through first and when I shifted to second I pulled about 4 car lengths on him, I don't have alot of mods, do the new egde gt's beat lt1's that bad or was it b/c he didn't know how to drive, i mean it was an automatic i don't see how you can screw that up Post #: 1

Stock they dyno around 245 whp with the 4L60E tranny and weigh about what you do, it should have been a driver's race. (in reply to 40thgtfl) Post #: 3

Not to mention your light mods. _____________________________ 2002 Camaro Z28 Automatic, stock converter, 2.73 gears Airbox lid, longtube headers, catless Y-pipe, cutout, Nitto drag radials 12.72 @ 108.62 1.93 60 ft (in reply to stanger88) Post #: 4
