How hard do you drive your GT?

[01Steeda]

48...49...50...51...and thats just the time slips I can find. 150k+ and still getting faster with each pass...oh...and I don't care if you are in an F-body LS1. I'll still try like hell to stay within 4 lengths.

Lets just hope I get the job done tonight and prove to those GM boyz that liter for liter ford has the power

I'll be gloating

Story...guy blew his LS1 so he swapped cammed 4.8 Chevy into his Bird until his other enigine is fixed. So we have a 4.6 vs 4.8 showdown tonight.

liter for liter, Honda has us all beat.

Sad but true.

Sad but true.

I pound on mine. repairs are cheap for me since I only buy the parts and to be honest nothing breaks on these damm cars when your at or near the stock HP.

I have powershifted my car countless times since i have owned it ( minium 5-6 times a day when it's nice out) and I bet the original owner pounded on it ( I hope so, I hate carbon clogged motors) and when I sell it ( might sell soon) the guy that maybe buying it pounds the hell out of cars.

it's a mustang not a 1 of 3 1970 hemi road runner vert

liter for liter, Honda has us all beat.

Sad but true.

I will keep that in mind the next time I go to the "per liter track"

 

[billfisher]

litre for litre pro stock ford hashonda beat N/A.


top fuel has honda beat forced induction. 8.2l = 7500hp. vs 2.2l = 1000 hp.

compare apples to apples.

435rwhp mach1 vs 240fwhp civic. not really a comparison eh. honda has nobody beat.

BMW 1980's F1. 1.5l = 1200hp. honda is kind of a joke don't you think.

if you want to compare stock weigh to stock weight.
other wise a full cromemoly frame mustang weighs a few hundred pounds more than a honda. i can go on and on.

EVERYTIME through the woods with no traffic WOT till about 85-90 then come off...not too quick cause an auto..but still FUN

that's awesome!!

My fav. 2 posts of this thread by a long shot.. that ****'s hilarious!!


I go WOT about once a day

Sucks it had to be a $400 tire though. Damn 295/35-18's.

Found two pictures of me goofing off one day:

This one didn't resize like the other, so I linked it.

I think I got most of it out of my system tonight... I got a real good feeling for the car.

Did one small burnout... revved it up, popped clutch and hardly hit the brake, let off a second later, just coasted it down. Held the burnout alot higher than I wanted to though, around 5500 RPM and thats why I let off ASAP.

Tached it up a few times to around 4 grand (is that too high to do once a day?) and shifted at around 5500 to get a nice bark shifting into 2nd gear.

Kicked the ass out once or twice, and im spent.

I want this thing to last... so im saving the beating for the track if it ever opens back up.

I would do powershifts at 6500 probably 40+ times a day. Not to mention rolling burnouts, sliding around corners, etc.. So no, 4 grand is not too high to do once a day.

 

[kd007davis]

I drive mine hard every now and again. Love to pull hard out of corners, what a feeling

I cut my first donut last night...

Ive done them offroad a million times in my 4x4, but this was my first onroad one. I was amazed at how easy it was to do... it did exactly what I wanted it to. Went in smooth, spun around smooth, and came out smooth.

I have also discovered the art of fishtailing...

 

[jasonh_86]

I love donuts!! I used to do those all the time, until I wore a set of BFG KDW's down to the threads

Haven't done any since, so I forgot how it feels haha.. But I won't be doing any burnouts or anything on these tires, too expense for that

 

[Cantslowdown]

I have done maybe 6 burnouts and no dounts!

 

[DocG]

I'm starting to drive mine harder and harder everyday. I don't always go WOT....but it almost always gets more than half throttle....with 4-5k shifts. And once I can get some suspension work done...I'll never slow down!

 

[5.0's 4 ever]

When I do get mine out at least once a week it will be seeing some 7K+ shifts. I didn't build the car and put all this money into it to drive it like a granny.

 

[stng]

I hate to admit it, but I really have never thought about how hard I drive my car... This is my 3rd 4.6 mustang and all of them I have driven "Hard" eg taken to redline (Or very close) at least once every time I drive it. Most of my normal shifting is around 4k.

I have always done very meticulous maintenance, and how many times has one of my mustangs broke down?

ZERO

 

[Warrior 102]

on a scale 1 to 10 if the 10 is the hardest I am at 8+ all the time......
