I"m guessing that you've never driven a 96-98? Yes, we are slower (stock) than newer GT's and especially cobras but in no case are we the slowest GT's ever produced, and I have yet to see a family car that can lay wast to my GT, the only sedan that I have bothered to race is a BMW M3 that was faster than me and I have yet to get wasted by a ricer and of course LS1's and corvettes will beat me so what else is new, LS1's and Corvettes probably hand you your ass too. BTW I'm not the fake-snake 97gt that was initially reffered to, I have a 1997 GT that has all the factory badging and even the stock wheels. Yeah, if someone is paying for their car and they want to call their 6cyl. mustang a cobra because they put $$ into it to make it look like it then who cares and who cares if they try to race a much faster car that kills them and who cares if that person says "hey I just spanked a cobra" if they are knowledgeable they will realize that something isn't quite right.
OMFG LMAO. sorry bro, but i've obviously burned your britches. LOL. but i really didn't mean to offend. "IF IT LOOKS LIKE A BANANA ... AND IT TASTES LIKE A BANANA..."
sorry to say, but your car in stock form is pretty slow by todays standards. Even when they were being produced, ford was only putting R&D into the cobra package. A GT is nothing more than an entry level "american musclecar". What makes it nice is that it is a relatively small, simple car w/ a V8 engine and a 5 speed tranny. But its a level 1, off the shelf motor. The same motor used in many many ford cars & trucks. No offence intended. And yes, i've driven many of them too...
As for the family cars able to handle or run w/ a 96-98 GT? lets see, what comes to mind...
Grand Prix gtp
chrysler 300M
various acruas
new impala SS (now supercharged)
bimmers (and you dont need an m-class to do it)
olds auora (the 250hp v8 one)
various lexi
supercharged riveria........... to name a few that would give you a good run. I'm sure there are a few more...
I say this not to hurt you, but to educate you. Its a fact!. Now, with all those seemingly mean things said, i hope you modify the **** out of your stang so you can handle those mazda mp'3's, WRX's, etc, etc...
PS: no stock bowtie will hand me my ass (except the z06), but if modified, all bets are off (as it should be... lol)
And as for your "competition" being knowledgable about your ride... dont count on it...
