Your friend may have pulled on a late 5.0 or early 4.6.

He wouldn't stand a chance in hell against a 2001+ GT.

I don't believe that he could pull on any v8 stang, and I seriously doubt a 01' or 02' celica gt could pull on a v6 stang either..!

but check out their POWER 140 hp @ 6,400 rpm - 125 lb.-ft. @ 4,200 rpm  

looked at roush, it's a little out of budget, that's for sure :)

edit: just for a little fun, i played with power to weight ratios on our cars (v6 and the celica gt).. rounding up on my car (including the weight of me.. 3066lbs + 140) and rounding down on his(not including him or his systems weight), my power to weight is still better =)

him = 2400lbs / 140hp = 17.14  -- me = 3200lbs / 193hp = 16.58

yeah, Roush is pricey.  Its a tough one with those other two wheels, just not sure what would look best.  Those mach1 wheels look awesome, but not sure how they would look on your car cause I have only seen them on the mach ya know.

(EDIT)  Gotta go get some sleep, later...

which wheels of the two do you think looks better?

edit: some website lets you kinda preview what they would look like on your car

guy on here selling some very affordable mach1 rims. 

i wouldnt be so sure you'll stomp that ricer, he'll give you a run for your money...sixers aint god.

Nobody said sixers are god....  If he is on his game, he should take it.  And NO, he won't stomp that ricer, BUT, he will prolly win.  Stomp is a big word in racing.

Edit..  Oh, and corrupted, the Mach 1 wheels definitely look much better !! 

him = 2400lbs / 140hp = 17.14  -- me = 3200lbs / 193hp = 16.58

Doesn't that make his power-weight better?

[/QUOTE]

No, his would be 17.14lbs/hp (pounds per horsepower) and mine would be 16.58... his 17.14 doesn't include his weight or the weight of his system, meaning it would still be a higher number increasing the amount of pounds each hp has to push..

i'm sure you guys were waiting to see the results, heh..

day1: I test out launch rpms while racing him (bad idea for me :P).. both races i lose by 1.5 cars or so.. i spun so bad i redlined at 20mph in 1st and shifted to 2nd and.. that's bad :) .. him 2, me 0

day2: Launched from idle to be safe and avoid any wheelspin for sure, that's a win for me by 1-1.5

day3: he wins first race when i go from idle by 1.5... second race i launch at a lowly 2000rpm and he was ahead by 1 car through 1st and 2nd and in 3rd i caught up and was .5 in front, 4th i just walked ahead from then..

so in the end.. him 3, me 2.. not too bad for my first few races in the stang... kinda new with launch techniques in it, i'm going to practice higher rpm launches while trying to avoid the wheelspin that owned me in the first 2.. but thinking about it, the 3 races i didn't spin crazy in i was close or won, can't beat that ^_^

he took his system out (sold it) which i learned later freeing him of some weight that would have killed him

he's cool though.. he may talk alot of bs, but he is like.. hey great race and stuff, not a bad loser or winner.. doesn't rub in face for win or bitch on a lose :)

For it to be your first few races, I give you a big !   Considering the car you were going against, not bad at all...

he has some kinda racing wheels (tires rather :edit) on top of it which is a plus for him compared to my stockers ;)
