Aren't GTP's notorious for having weak transmissions?

On the serious note, it does take more than $800.00 to make a V6 super fast and all of it a torque monster. Parts are not that cheap it does not matter if they are from Ford, GM or Dodge, parts cost money.
This guy with the GTP comes in here and start pissing on everyones weathies because he thinks that his $800 dollar parts gets him in the 12's.
Sh!t, if that is the case I want one of those so i can spend 800 dollars and beat Mustangs and Hondas all day long.

I just have to get my .02 in here.

Here is Doodad's, a former owner of an 03 cobra, stock dyno sheet.

[IMG]http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc55/07GrabberMustangGT/ErdalsDynorun001.jpg[/IMG]

Now, with the mods Doodad had, 2.76' pulley, tune, intake, and exhaust, on tires of course, he ran an 11.34 @ 121.78.  How many GTP's run those times without more then 5K in them?  Also, the fastest stock Cobra ran a 12.4@115.  The fastest S197 ran a 13.2@104.  Stop being a fan boy, and thinking a GTP is the greatest.  Take your a$$ and drive a cobra, or a new mustang.  BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!!

Also, Doodad put down 455 RWHP and 478 RWTQ.

Yup, Doodad sold it a while back.  He now rolls in his LT1. 

It was a sad day indeed.


EDIT- thanks for the fix

Yup, and traded it in with no regret for the termie.  Which, both of his cars were sweet.  But, thing about Doodad, he was an amazing driver.  I envy the sob....

to beat a termie with a honda, you basically have to have something which is the equivalent of an 8 sec mustang. An 11 sec Honda GENERALLY isn't something very comfortable.

Your funny, 300rwhp and over 400rwtorque in a GTP. Looks like we have a new torque monster on the block  

Stock Cobra's I've seen make 390rwhp, ever hear of cars being underrated from the factory.  LOL do some research on that.


Haha Reading > You.

I guess you failed to read the link i posted about the guy with the same cam as i have, putting down 285 whp and 382 wtq, yeah that's right almost 100 more wtq than HP. Now do you believe that a 300 whp GTP will put down 400 wtq??? i can post the link again if you like...

And SpectorGT, I have seen GTPs with NO valvetrain mods, just headers, 3.3 pulley, PCM, intake exhaust...all the little ****, run low to mid 13's. I've also seen plenty of rocker'd GTP's go very low 13's. If you have a cam'd GTP you are almost guarenteed to run 12's. I do not have a time slip yet but i did run a stage 2 SRT-4 that ran a 12.7 @ 108 and i only lost by 1 car or so from a 40 roll. My weakest spot to race from too. From a dig i would of been pretty even with him. That was before i got my tune too. Now i have an even smaller pulley plus alot better tune. I'm pretty sure i could hit 12's if i went to the track right now.

The one honda I ran against at the track was fast!  Trapping 113 in the 1/4, but after the first 60 feet all he saw was my tail lights. Those 2.6 second 60 foots were killing him.

well.. as everyone says, just because you beat someone that had gotten a certain time doesn't mean you are gonna get even that time.. so no.. you have a ??.?? car... with a ???hp/tq car till we see your dynos and your timeslip.. oh and look at the guys that are really running 450+ rwtq.. they seem to be getting mid-low 11s..  so if these cars are easily getting 400 why are they still high 12s?

Why the f*** are they still trapping 112-114.  Total horse poo poo right there.  Hell, with a good driver, S/C'ed New Edges with 380 WTQ trap over 116 and run low 12's, and weigh around 3600 lbs with driver and everything else.

Cant watch the videos because I'm at work.  And if a S/C Mustang GT cant run a 12.7 than he needs to learn how to drive.  I cant watch the vid at work, so does anyone know what year the Mustang is?


Mine with just the SC, no cooler and street tires went 12.5 and with DR's went 12.2, this is about average I think for a bone stock 3V and just a blower. With Meth included high 11's shouldn't be a problem.


To be honest with you, that sucks.  Not saying its your driving or anything, but when S197's can hit 12's with just an intake/tune and DR's, than there is something wrong somewhere.

Because they only have 300ish whp with that 400 wtq!! As where your Mustangs have over 400 whp with 450 wtq. Do you see where i'm getting at???
