beating a stang?

**RedLedbetter** · 03-31-2009

ive got a 01 gt sedan with a HAI being my only mod so far. whats it gonna take for me to beat a stock mid to late mustang?

**ColonelAngus** · 03-31-2009

Could you be more specific as to what kind of Mustang. V6 or V8?

**Bogers99GTP** · 03-31-2009

X2, Altho I think he means a GT.

**ColonelAngus** · 03-31-2009

Well if he means an '05 Stang he may be spending a lot more than if he wants to beat an '04...

Yeah the 05+ GT's are a bit different the the older bodystyles. The mid 90's are the easiest to smack around lol. For the 05+ F/I or spray will be the only way to take one.

im pretty sure its a 98. its not a GT. just a V6

X2...fastest one I ever saw ran a 16 flat at the track and he had lots-o-bolt ons...

FORD 3.8 V6 is a piece of crap, its nothing like GM's3800

Exactly!

V6 Stangs in the 1/4 mile:
SN95 96-98: mid 16's
New Edge 99-04: mid-high 15's
S197 05+: low-mid 15's

As for GT's in the 1/4 mile:
SN95 96-98 GT: mid 15
New Edge 99-04 GT: high 13 - low 14
S197 05+ GT: mid 13 - high 13

Watch out for New Edge GT's in the 1/8th mile though. Those 2v's are very very torquey! My 03 GT put out 310rwtq. They are no joke!

You've got no worries against a Ford 3.8, I used to smack them around in my 3.4 Camaro and that wouldn't beat much!
