That is not my car, and gears really don't have an effect on dyno's, even chassis dynos. If anything, 4.10 gears over stock would show lower hp numbers (its complicated but it is rumored to be that way). In addition, thats a mustang dyno, not a dynojet, so it reads about 10% or more less hp. But, reguardless of actual hp and torque readings, the power curves are the same. That is a 2000 GT 5 speed car stock down to the stock air filter and mufflers.
The guy at the Dodge dealership swore up and down this was a 13 sec car, the SRT, and that it would kill my TA. Told him there was only one way to find out..... Did have some nice options though, but 25k plus on a "throw away car" c'mon.
i wasn't sure how fast they were but I was going to be really disapointed if he was faster. BTW, since me and you are the only ones awake probably, this guy in a 95 Mustang with a bigger cam and some exhaust work done, thats all he says is done anyway, wanted to run tonight. We ran a while back and from a roll on I beat him 3 times, by one or more car lengths. We ran once from a light and he killed me b/c i lit them up horribly, like always. Well he came tonight and wanted to run for 200 dollars, but he'd only run from a stop and he had 50 series all the way around. He had camelion paint or some s**t and a cowel hood, it was niiiiiice.

lol right after i posted that last one i went to sleep. u didnt go for the cash? u probably would have smoked him...that or he did some work and would have raped you...
he'd already beat me before from stop, it was when I first got the car and I got nervous when he jumped from the light so I stomped it and lit them up all the way til I shifted into second and went 3/4 throttle. I have heard that he has way more done than what he is telling me, he has no exhaust pipes from what I remember so I'm thinking he's dumping right after cats or before cats or no cats or something. I told him I would run from a 30 mph roll on but he declined. I then decided that I need some Nittos.
