I have someone local (possibly) that has a modded, bolt-on TBSS. They want to run. How well do you think I'd do against this car. I know stock they are rated around 0-60 in 5.6 give or take and run mid 13's. I've seen a few of them Supercharged they ran high 11's trapping around 113.

Basically, I got into a little tiff with some guys on a ls1 truck forum, and they think crapstangs are exactly that, crap. Slow, ugly and with only 2K in mods, they will beat stock S197 GT's. So, I figured I'd kind of put an end to it, and race a faster version of their LSX engine. What do you guys think?

Heavy SUV against your mods........go for it and make us proud......of course you never know what "modded" means [8D]

Bring a good set of tires?

Those things launch like nobody's business. One at my track 1.7'd with launch control on a set of Goodyear F1's

Hmm, I think basic bolt-ons and what not. But, even then, I still think they are high 12 SUV's at best. Even S/C'ed, it would be a very good match up, with the Edge still going to me. We'll see, thanks for the input guys.

Hows your hooking abilities? If your getting 2.0 or better 60ft. I can't possibly see you losing....Unless his mods are suspention,H/C, NOS.......Just bolt-ons only, you'll clean his clock..

My bolt-on tbss runs 12.6-12.7 at 105-106 with a 1.7 60'. Thebig brick doesnt mph very well but gets out of the hole great. When I was stock I ran some stock 197's and it was a drivers race I ran 13.79 STOCK.

What does your car run? The Mustang SHOULD EASILY out mph the tbss thats a no-brainer.

Not a Mustang basher!!!! I have had 3 of em and still have one. So please dont take it that way. Just trying to see where you stand with the Mustang.

If he has a stall and spray you might end up with your hands full man. Guys are in the 11's with a stall, bolt ons and spray oh and tires of course.

Stall and tires is a must in these bricks or your not getting out of the 12's n/a. Well one went 12.9 without stall and tires but thats only one!

I have not run the car, but I am able to launch my car well. Similar stangs, just saying, not saying I can do it but, have trapped well over 110. A few on S197forum with similar #'s, ran mid 11's and trapped 120+ with 4.10's, standard Vortech kit, and a spydershaft.

Are you located in IL?

Also, C6Vette- my tires are YZ W Rated, and even launching at 4500 RPM, they will hook after a second of spinning.

ohhh sh!t, this is going to be a bad@ss race, you better represent Grabber

I'm going to try man. I hope we can get it on vid. Although, my vid camera sucks.......

Southside Chicago here!

There was one of those TBSS's at our local track... yeah tuned, cam'd, intake, full exhaust... yeah he went 7.9... I was like (WTF)--- it was scary.

Was that in the 1/8? I hope so....

it had to be, hey grabber why u havent pullied that stang man

$$$

Not sure what I want to do with the stang yet. If I pulley it, I'll doa 13-14 PSI swap, with a conservative tune, and put down around 500 whp and about 430 wtq. We will see.

Certain places want over 500 bucks to do the swap and tune. Not too pricey, but, can't budget it yet.

You do realise that even if you win they're prolly just gonna pull some bs like "Yeah but you have a Mustang and this thing is a brick."

Probably not!!!
I am pretty sure right now that whoever set this race up was supposed to be grabber vs a friend of mine. **** for all I know it could be me, since my truck is the bolt-on one. We will get some races off make some vids and post win, lose or draw.

you should win

ORIGINAL: jmdgto

you should win


I have to agree, we have been talking in pm's back and forth and told him my bolt-on truck will most likely get SPANKED!!!!

SOme of you guys would be such easy pickings at a street race night at the track it's not even funny....

Mustang should have this one. Why dont you guys run at the track so you'll have some solid numbers to see how your driving is!

I want to man. 50 miles for the closest track, 4.40 a gallon of gas, not right now. I'd rather drive 20 miles, race a couple of times, and call it a day.

Besides, my car is not ready for the track......;)

sounds like excusess to me ;), moroso is an hour drive from my house and i got to tell you "it is worthy going".

Nah, I just don't like to drive far in the stang, call me lazy.

Off-Topic- Cacimar, or anyone in the FL area, intersted in free Disney World tickets? I have to. Been meaning to ask, expires December 08.

Back on topic- I want to go to the track when I feel my car is track worthy. Right now with the 20's, that will hurt me, epescially since I do not have DR's. Also, I want to do UCA's and LCA"s with a 3200 stall and 18's. We will see. I do want to go, I know it is a blast to fly down the 1320.

give me a good price and i shall take them away from ya....Note that florida residents gets them for 60 bucsk each....

How does Free sound?:D Maybe?

ill take them away from ya :D, why do u have them? were u in florida or thinking in coming to florida ?

We are actually going to the track tonite.....Grabber just couldnt make it

I would rather do this at the track, but if not we got some back roads we could get down on!

That sounds good to me.


Through my work(Grainger), each year they pay for the entire sales force of 5,000 People to stay at Coronado Springs Resort, for the annual kick off, and this year they rented out the entire Magic Kingdom for free. Free food, beer, games, rides all night etc. They gave me a couple extra tickets. I have no use for them, since I will not make it back to FL.

Jake- It looks like rain later in the PM's tonight. I would rather not drive in it if I can avoid it. But, Sunday morning looks good, so maybe we can do something.

Tonite in Morocco Indiana it looks like it will be clear, but I understand what your saying about rain. I am taking my f-body today and actually not racing we are working out the bugs in the other tbss that I believe was most likely the race that guy was trying to setup with you.

Sunday so far looks to be good we will talk then and set something up.

What does your friend run? Just curious. That thing should be bad a$$. Talk to you soon man.

It is looking to be a nice day!! Maybe you can bring some more stangs with you.

I will call you in a bit and see if we can set something up

[>:] I was too late.


Cacimar, I agree that the drive to Moroso (hour and a half for me) is always worth it. It is the drive back that kind of sucks.

^^^agreed :D, driving back sucks especially if that night u did not do to well [:@]. AndYes you are late i got them for freee thanks to our Stang Pal Grabber :)

Unless you two guys want to make the arrangement of meeting up and going together, how about that!!!;)

^^^^ i rather bring achickso i can screw her :D

Good idea...Sorry Sinister. Next year, I'll make sure I get a ton of them, and hand them out for you FL guys!!!!!

PS- you could dress up like a chick for Cacimar...:D:D:D

wow.. i didn't even know about those trail blazer SS's.. pretty nice numbers for the price.. for 6k more I could of had an SUV that is aslightly slower and worse gas mileage hehe... Oh well.. guess ill just have to spend that extra 6k on s/c, spydershaft, LCAs and rubber and blow them away :D

$26,000 for mine with about $2800 in mods (that incluses a built trans and converter) So I am 28,000 so far
12.6's consitant at 106 Not bad for 4700#'s

That is damn good for something that heavy.[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

Yeah it isnt bad butit helps I can 60' a 1.7.Either way I am sure yourMustang will rape my truck unless you spin and gotta play catch up.

Now thetruck thatthey set you up with orginally I think will be a close race.

If he traps over 113 then it will be drivers race. Off the line, I will probably hook, so we'll see.

and

do you have any videos of the Cammed LS2? :)

Just got a call from gtwhat and vids are coming!

I think hejust wants get this race going!! Since we arent racing for any money is there anyway to get you (grabber) to go to track?? 41 has street car chaos friday.

It would just suck to get pinched and nothing is on the table.

Well, I don't race for money, so if that is what your Buddy is interested in, then I'm out. He will have the edge at the track, which I don't mind going to. Street Tires VS. DR's, that's cool.

But, come on now, some guys would think his ID "GTWhat" is a little childish. And to think......[>:]

As for the name, its all in good fun. I just like to stir things up. There are tons of Gts that will blow my doors off!

That's good to hear. I just thought I'd comment. I'm sure you are eager to race. You seem confident, I respect that.

Jake- Friday night is no good. I'm going to be getting my car ready for the Meet and Greet Saturday. After 9Pm Sat. night would be fine with me. Let me know what you think.

Cops..................lol I just fell off my chair

Far from it

Street to street tire......oh this is going to be good!!!

Sorry.. My point was just that I was really impressed with the low cost of the vehicle and the performance figures for an SUV.. looks like a bargain... and yes.. once I S/C i'm sure I wont be able to find any TBSS around here able to keep up but.. very nice for something I could take out to the woods and go camping in :D

Was the maroon SS on slicks?? and racing no clock?
It wasnt gtwhat but another Chicago SS thats HAULIN ASS!!

Looks like it's running pretty well.


JD- Here is the link to the meet and greet. They are estimating 200+ mustangs and what not.

This race is going down Sat. Night. If you want to meet up, that would be awesome. You have my cell, and I have yours. So, let me know man. I'm also trying to get Erik to come as well, but he is swamped with work. He may make an entrance for a couple of hours. There is another event, with the ChicagoSVT guys coming up soon, which should be good.

hmmm how welcome would I be? All those Stangs and me, probably the lne F body.

You'd be my guest. They would not care. The Meet this Saturday that is. The Chicagosvt, there are quite a few F-bods going. So, you should be welcome. But, this sat. for sure, since most of those guys know me. It's cool.

Ya, that maroon one ripped me a new a few nights ago! Thing flies



Anyone know whos svt that is that i raced in that video? It said ChicagoSVT.com on the side windows. It was at US41

Not quite sure, but I can probably find out.

Interested in going to the meet this Saturday?

Looks like we are heading up there after gtwhat gets off of work.

Nice!!!! Some of the other guys and I are meeting up at the streets, and are going to cruise down there around 11 AM or so. Hoep to see ya guys there.

Hmmm I might not make it. My wife went into false labor yesterday. We got sent home late last night but she is not supposed to be doing anything for a few days. That means that I have to chase my daughter around, but maybe I can get the car seat in the SS and breing her along.

Double post Jon.;)

That's cool. no big deal. Good luck with the falso labor. I hope everything works out for ya. Give me a call if you are coming, I won't be staying all day, but, probably a good while.

Should be going down this weekend!!!

Can anyone borrow grabber some drag radials???
