^^^ how fast have you gone in that stang junkie. seems to me that you are the type of guy to bolt on the bottle to a v8 w/ exhaust and galavat all over town. not to respectable. i was on the bottle once but once it ran out i sucked. maybe you do too? please post me some mods or slips or something. how about dyno sheets on the bottle and off of it.

I havent seen a GT run faster than high 14's/9's 1/4-1/8. So how do we get these 13.7 times? Where are you guys reading this, becuz it isnt what experince is showing. We have a few WRX's here, two modded on base and they are runnin mid-high 9's in the 1/8. None to serious to me, but of course I have carburetors and 3 speed auto's.
With a few mods they can get into the 13's. The same mods on an LS1 nets low 12 high 11, and the same on a civic seems to get about a 15's. I think some guys race magazines and Factory HP numbers too much.

Guys and gals, we all know that the ONLY reason the WRX is fast in the 1/4 is simply because of the AWD setup, and can launch from high in the powerband, but think about it, once that 1/4 mile is done, well, their AWD renders them pretty much useless! So just let these WRX and EVO people think they have the fastest stuff out there, we know better. Not dissin you in paticular silver02wrx, just the whole lot of people that think their WRX's are the fastest thing out there....much gratitude and respect to ya for serving our country, but definitely not for smoking "fattys", speeks very lowly of you.
i pulled a regular WRX in my old Civic SI with I/H/E after 80, it was rather pathetic actually. And i pulled an evo by a good 2 cars the other night on my way home to about 140...... anybody know the top speed of a 91 LX 5.0? ive had it way past the 140mph mark but my speedo doesnt go that far....
yea its not stock by any means, i have underdrive pullys, e303 cam, bassani x pipe, bbk headers, flowmaster 2 chambers, hurst shifter eibach drag kit, 3.73, few othe rminor things, if anybody has verizon wireless and a picture phone i can send them a picture of my speedo past the 140 mark cuz my scanner doesnt work......
**** somebody tell me how to edit a post so i dont look like a little bastard post whorer. I have taken LS1 z28's (2) in top end before (by about a foot) , so maybe that can narrow down what my top speed may be
Actually, with those mods, you're probably still in the high 13's so it would take a while. Still don't know about the 140mph.....that's pretty crazy to race someone to that speed. Did yall have like 3 miles of empty road?
yea i figured i was somewhere in the mid-high 13's depending on the driver, but it was on the highway where i raced the z's, im seriously not ****itng you ive done it a good 7 or eight times, over 140mph, no ****.
There is an edit button on the top right side of each post you make, just click it. LS1's are highway kings man, you sure they were even racing? From a roll you would be severely OWNED by an LS1. You'd need nearly all possible bolt on's or a power adder to keep up.
man im NOT tyring to start an argument wiht you, im simply telling you what happened. The first one was a black LS1 z28 and we both dropped it at nearly the same time and stayed neck and neck (we literally looked over at each other 3 times and gave each other the "wtf?" look) the second time it was a red Ls1 (yes, i do know the difference between the LT1 and the LS1 byt he headlights) and i hit it before him, but he hit it right after and i stayed ahead by a good 2 feet, but a good ass race. Now whether they were automatic or what, i couldnt tell you, but i can tell you i have been well over 140 mph while racing, and while just testing my limits...... so as far as me being "owned" by an LS1, well thats just not the case. And yes, they were racing me, im not a jackass, i can tell when someone was racing. I mean i have proof of the 140mph thing on my phone, but someones gonna have to get back to me on that one.........
Just b/c your speedo says it, doesn't mean you're doing it. Did you recalibrate your speedo after installing gears? Calibrate for tire size? Determining the difference b/w an LS1 and LT1 by the lights? With your mods I could see you running pretty even with an LT1 from a stop, but not even an LT1 from a roll.
yea the speedo was recalibrated. I have 245's on the stang now, but no, i havent had them recalibrated, i dont even know if their taller than the stock..... and, honestly, an LT1 isnt much of a challenge, they stay right with me, but behind a car length or so. And as far as LT1 and LS1 headlights, the LT1 have a more sunken in head, while the LS1 have the flush light. I do realize that there could be an engine swap and your headlight doesnt determine your engine, but when they started using LS1's they changed the headlights. Thats all i meant. and LT1 from a roll? thats really not even a challenge... dude your bench racing like a mother ****er, im tellin you hands on experience.....

I'm telling you from experience seeing as how I have a TA with an LT1. You've been racing some ****ty ass drivers. I ran a 13.79 on street tires with just an exhaust C/O and a B&M shifter. That was after having the car for about a month. The only Mustang that I've been beaten by was a '95 with cam work, 3.73's, M&H tires, FULL exhaust, UD pullies, CAI, and P&P MAF. That's all the mods I can remember. The ONLY reason I lost is b/c I couldn't launch the car for ****. We ran three times from a roll and I owned him. That's why I'm telling you, you're full of it if you think you can OWN an LT1 and run even with an LS1. This point has been proven time after time on this site, just search.

my boy (actually hes a goofy kid i met a few times) runs a 13.62 (yea, he has the slips fro the fayettville drag strip) on stock tires. in his 96 LT1 TA. White, 5spd borla exhaust, headers, 275 tires, CAI, etc etc. We raced a good 8 times and i won 5 out of the 8. Each time i won i took him by about half a car, each time he won he took me about half a car. Its a drivers race, which is the only thing that has been proven. I dont see why you have so much trouble believeng this, because its a KNOWN FACT that straight fromt he facotry in 1987 a 5.0 LX notchback with slicks can run a 13.7-13.9 with no other mods and the optional 3.27 gears and 5spd transmission ( I have the 5.0 magazine to prove this, if u need confirmation ill go dig it up). Explain to me how my hatch (add 100lbs or so, then take it away cuz i stripped most of the interior) with a cam, pullys, full exhaust (straight x pipe BTW) shifter, and gears cant run in the low 13's with a driver that knows what the **** hes doing? I KNOW what the **** im doin bud, ever heard of the viper club of america? I ran a 11.6 in a GTS-R ACR viper last year at Mopar at the rock at the rockingham dragway in rockingham, NC. No, its not my car, ist a very good friend of mines car. His best run in the car he drives ALL the time and RACES all the time you ask? an 11.7. Tell me i cant drive. So add in the fact my mods (even though according to you isnt much, and granted compared to alot of cars, its sint), the fact i can drive, and then tell me i cant stomp an LT1 camaro or TA, and wont run with an LS1. If any of you need confirmation of my viper story, the man whos car i drove first name is stuart, he lives in raleigh, NC, and also is the owner of a 2003 SRT-10. Im not giving you his last name, but if any of you live around Raleigh, NC, give me a shout and ill take you to meet him,a nd hell tell you face to face. or, come to Mopar at the rock on april 17th, where ill be runnin the stang agaoinst the vipers (gonna be sad)

I never said YOU can't drive. I said THEY can't drive. Most BONE STOCK LS1's run from 12.9-13.5, depending on who's driving. From a roll in a LS1, driver skill shouldn't play as large a factor as from a dig. Oh ya, btw, those 1/4 times for the LS1 are on factory street tires. This argument has been beat to death in this forum. Personally, I've yet to see a stock 5.0 stang break into the 13's. I've only seen three EVER break into the 14's. The numbers don't lie man. All I said is that you raced some ****ty drivers or they were toying with you. That's all there was to it. And no, w/o slicks on I don't think you can get into low 13's with those mods. I have no idea what my car will run with slicks seeing as how I figure my weak ass 10 bolt will blow up with me dropping clutch. BTW: 4th gen f-bod cars didn't come with 5-speeds....
6 speed, my bad, i have never driven a six exception fo the ACR. Ok whatever, this argument is beat to hell, i dont wanna start a fight, ill just leave it at that, later.
