You have to specify if you want #'s for manual or auto trannies. 05 GT mid 13s for both manual & auto. 05 GT low 14s for manual, high 14's for auto. By the way, thanks for starting a topic that asks about comparing a 04 GT to an 05 GT and not to a Mach1, Cobra, WRX, Skyline or Enzo Ferrari.
The 05 Auto GT is WAY faster than an 05 auto GT because the 05 trannie has 5 speeds instead of the 4 speeds that the 04 has. 1st gear on the '05 is much lower, 3.31:1 vs. 2.84:1 for the 05. M/T reported 0-60 of 5.1 seconds and 13.6 for the 1/4. C&D ran 0-60 @ 6.3 sec. and 15.1 for the 1/4 in a 2002 GT coupe. C&D ran 0-60 @ 6.0 sec. & 14.7 in the 1/4 for a 2001 GT vert. Don't ask me to explain how C&D ran faster in the Vert other than the 2002 coupe they had was a dog as C&D corrects their times for altitude, temperature, humidity etc and usually they run their times at the same track.
It's a high performance coupe that Nissian sells in Japan. I brought it up sarcastically because in one of the other threads some Bozo started ranting about how much better the Skyline is than an '05 GT - like a car sold only in Japan and would cost $50K if imported to the US matters to any of us here.
Off topic here, I have a friend with a black Skyline (R33 I believe) thing is dead sexy. Cost him roughly 17k to buy it, and will cost another 19k to get it converted over. What a waste.
MT ran 14.0s with 5.4s 0-60 in a 1999 GT (5 speed though) EDIT: oh, and the explanation is that CD employs a bunch of retard drivers. not that MT is necessarily better, but they sure didn't run a freaking 15.1s
yea you guys's times for 99-04 gt are a bit too slow. the 99-04 gt 14.1-14.5 stick/auto. old 98 gt run 15 for christ sake you saying that the 99 up is no faster?
The guys at MM&FF got a stock 01 GT fresh from the factory to turn a 13.71!! RE: page 117 of May 2002 issue.
Sounds like some of the 05 guys have no clue on what a 99-04 GT could run. It's true an auto is a mid to high 14s car and the 05 is faster but the 5 speeds with a decent driver is a low 14 sec car easy and a very good driver it's a high 13 sec car.
Im not for sure the speeds but last night I played around with a nice 2003 GT, we both took off from the stop light, , I was in the same lane as him because of it being a two lane road, but, when we took off, we both guned it, I had to let off on my gas, because when I shifted into 3rd gear I just about jumped on top of his bumper, I was fun, but no camparison, the lane went to a four lane road, and when we stopped at the light , he rolled down his window and said man those cars are pretty fast, I said well fast enough I had to about slm on breaks to keep from jumping on top your bumper, lol he just laugh and drove off, But I have to give it to him, his exhaust was awsome basoni pipes, it drounded out my cars sound, I had , flow master ,
1. That car was a manual trannie. The original question was about automatics. 2. They had a hot shoe driver who is better than 99.9% of everyone else 3. The first run was 14.986 bone stock. The very best run they pulled stock was 14.218 - air pressures adjusted, car left to cool down. 4.The 13.721 was run after the car was modded. front sway bar disconnected spare tire & jack removed front tires @ 46 PSI Rear tire pressure lowered Air silencer & filter housing removed Intake manifold packed with ice before the run. Yea, I'm sure that's exactly the way you drive your Stang on the street. As I orignially said, 99-04 GT is low 14s stock manual and high 14s stock auto.
the same can be said about the 05 GT they ran don't you think??? and yes, i'm also waiting to see them at the tracks, i guess they're properly broken-in by now.... I would start believing some times when i see this car running down the tracks
It will be interesting when they hit the track in numbers and it will be an improvement over the 99-04 but the excuses are just lame to me. The fact is a couple of people have been able to run a mid 13 in the 05 and the majority are in the high 13's to low 14's so it's a drivers race most of the time. As with any car you take it to the track a dozen times and you'll improve by leap and bounds once you learn where to shift and how to launch it. This is typical mag racing where you own one car so you quote the best time ever recorded for it and then find the worst time you can find for the other.
Not only that, but people are comparing times for different tracks. I still have yet to see a Mach 1 hit the 12's at my local track. Saw one running consistent 13.1's with 4.10's, MT's, and a 5000 RPM clutch-dump. (Not digging on Mach 1's at all, just pointing out that track conditions make a noticable difference). So I'm guessing I'll be seeing 05's running low 14's, maybe some high 13's. Dave
