Hey Guys just wanted a quick opionion on this,i hate doing these threads but this dork really annoyed me so im venting. So the other day i meet this real tool actually i dont even know if that can describe him.. ha., he owns a 94 BONE stock TA with an LT1, so we get to talking, and i mention the fact that i have a slighty modded 03 mustang GT. Then its like it is on like donkey kong, basically saying he will own me, and thinks his car is the fastest thing since the new z06. He had to be one of the cockiest people i think i have ever met, i was like wow, i cannot believe you were ever created. So i have a feeling im going to need to take care of some business, but was wondering if i really stood a chance or not, mine is an auto, and his is a 6 spd. But im sure he would win but i have a feeling i would definitly be able to give him a run for his money?? Thanks guys..:SNSign: Steve
LSwhat..? Between you and the LT1 im gonna say drivers race. 6 speeds are quick if driven right, but your auto is consistant and you have the mod advantage over him.
im with u on this one when u say its a drivers race, i got a buddy out here with only a k&n air filter on his 6spd formula, and he was able too pull a 13.44 @105 at the track, and like you said the 6 spds are quick, alot better then the autos. if i where you i would go ahead and race and see how it goes, he prolly cannot drive for ***** anyway ps :Track:
you mean this one? LT1 was far from crafted by the hand of God. They are good motors if maintained, but many of them are getting old, and if ragged out and not taken care of they are dogs. Stock for stock they should be a drivers race with a PI 2V.
The GM auto really isn't much slower than the standard from what i've always heard. I wish I had it instead of the 4r70w
Was that 13.4 from an LT1 or LS1? LT1's are 93-97 in that body style, LS1 98-02. Thats quick if its an LT1... most of them are 14 or high 13's.
drivers race, its almost like your racing a 99+ GT, so its gonna be the driver who claims the victory not the car.
they are a drivers race for a 5-speed 99+ car.. the LT-1 car stick or auto is faster than a 99+ auto GT. not by much but it's faster. Most 6-speed stock LT-1 cars trap 101-103.. So if you can't trap that high then your slower. Since I don't see all your mods listed I have no way of giving what I think will happen.
actually my mods are pretty basic, i just have the demolet CAI, with dragron 75 mm and TB, i also just have a SLP loudmouth exhaust. Nothing to fancy.. but working on it
Grab an SLP or VRS O/R X pipe and you should definatly beat him...the Xs make a BIG difference. Ha I felt unbeatable when I put mine on
The A4 will run pretty much the same times as the M6 but the M6 will trap a higher mph. There have been stock LT1 M6's that have ran 13.5 bone stock. I think he will have you beat by 1-2 cars if he can drive.
Yeah he probally is a little quicker than you. here is a list of must have mods for a auto. 1. 4.10's 2. 3600+ stall converter. do not waste your time with 2800's or anything smaller than a 3400 since the stock stall is 2200-2700 3. J-mod and programmer. I would also get a off road X pipe The converter is the best mod short of going FI that you can do to your car. Some on here will mislead you into thinking you will always be at 3600 with a big converter like that, anybody that tells you that has never driven a car with a big converter. durring normal light throttle driving including leaving lights at less than 1/4 throttle your rpm's will be more like 2400 tops. and on the highway the converter locks up and you will be at the same rpm's as you were with a stock converter. you do those mods and you will OWN him..
^ agreed....and a go from a stop is a MUST. The converter realy wont help at highway speeds ..he will probably pull you that way. X pipe and a 3600 stall FTW!
yeah the converter will not help too much on the highway, the off road X is probally the best cheap on out there. I got mine used for 75 bucks and I felt it helped some. I have not been to the track with it yet but it added a few horse.
If he cant drive then u can prob take him lt1's arent to bad out of the box..I need a convter and new mid pipe and intake and plunem and i think i will be good to race one..
Ya, if you don't want to take the chance of having to listen to this guy incase his car is well taken care of and he can actually drive a 6spd, you should either not race him or do what svttech suggests.
thanks for all the input guys!! well i was planning on doing the slp long tubes with midpipe and cats next, then hitting the 4:10's with stall.. if i get a tuner would i really need to get a jerry mod done??
my 96 Auto T/A is pretty quick. I would say if your basicaly stock PI GT with auto, i have to say T/A auto would own you, not by much, but it will own you. If T/A is with 2.73 gear, and you drive your car to perfection, i think GT would win. 6spd is hard to tell. They are faster. But I've seen prenty of morons with T/A and Z28(specialy with SS with 3.4x gear)with who smokes 1st and 2nd gear like its their job, losin varuable time with 6spd....
