05 GT VS modded 04 GT

[Duke309]

my friends brother just got a 05 auto gt and I was wondering what they run. I wonder if it could take my friends 04 auto gt that has a upr o/r xpipe, j-mod and an xcal2.

05 takes you!

05 will win. Ive raced a 5 speed with a decent driver b4 with my 02 auto gt before i got my procharger and mine had bolt ons, 3.73 gears, hypertech programmer, and he beat me by about 2 1/2 car lenghts in a 1/4 mile. Im pretty sure he'l take u

 

[Mike97gt]

05+ will most likely take you.. thats why I am buying a 07 gt( manual) in the spring.

 

[01BlkGT]

put the 4.10'a on and it should make it close.

05 takes it easy. Even if the 2 cars had the same power, i swear the 05GT would win just because its Auto tranny is 10x better than the excuse for an automatic transmission in the 99-04's

Eeeewww


is your lease up or something?

















j/k
they're not all THAT ugly

A 99-04 auto gt will need gears to take the new stangs..And prob a few other small bolt ons..

 

[jivepepper]

I hate them

 

[BooWFO]

Only one way to know RACE.
Honestly I've only got to play with a few and haven't been impressed. So far only one I've lost to was one with a blower and I was N/a.

 

[Silvr04GT]

I beat an 05 GT manual one time in my 04 GT manual, but according the guy I raced he was still learning about the car and didn't push it as hard as it could go.

Maybe I'm starting a war here, but with the new model having higher power ratings, and assuming it wasn't about the driver, how is it that a pre-05 could beat a post-05.

Fixed...

Well the first thing with that is no 2 drivers are the same.
Pretty sure most 05's are about 200 lbs or more heavier and have what 30 more crank hp.

 

[DocG]

Yeah, I know its all about drivers....but when a question is posted comparing two cars, try as we might we should take the driver out of the equation at least.

And while 30hp at crank may not seem like much, all of us, even me, tried our hardest to get just a few hp more from boltons.

Like I said...just curious what makes the earlier ones likely to win a race when comparing cars.

 

[hotmustang331]

The 05 autos put down around 255RWHP...04 autos put down <220 usualy.

The 04 would need around the same RWHP (no stall) to beat the 05. Thats a full bolton car really.

yeah bolton's don't really realize much in the way of power gains on the 2v cars.
Now carefully selecting parts, and getting lucky can pay off with a combo that works well.


Plus not hating on the 05's but at least around here they seem to be owned by a bunch of non drivers.

less typing more turbo.

 

[hotmustang331]

Dont worry, we plan on having the turbos mounted this week . Tranny is all done...new spec stg 3 clutch and aluminum flywheel are in. Pedal feels pretty good too...

 

[DocG]

Maybe I'll buy an 05, bolt it up, and whooop on some 2v's!
