Jspeeddemon Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 My wife's cousin has a 4.6L 2003 mustang GT completely stock that I raced over this past weekend. We raced twice on Saturday night, on a clear interstate from 45-85 and it was real close. The first time he jumped out a little early and we stayed even once his rear bumper was at my front bumper. After slowing down to go again I got a good jump on him from 45 and he never made up the car length advantage, I shut it down at 90. So Sunday night I suggested we go from a slow roll around 15-20, he got me by a slow progressive lead that was a car length at about 40, from there the race was similar to the interstate race, real close.

WisconsinSS Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 well you got him by several thousand pounds. Sounded like fun though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deezel Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 All good fun, of course. Why no races from a stop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jspeeddemon Posted June 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 It was a lot of un, I have been racing various rides for years. I didn't take it dead out of the dig because I knew I would be able to bust him with 60 ft time vs the stang. I wanted to see my weight disadvantage and hp advantage versus his weight advantage and hp disadvantage. He knows I have him covered, if I had been driving my 03 ZO6 his ass was toast. That same night before I raced the stang a Dakota 5.9 R/T, was beside me and rolled his window down, told me he loved my truck. I gave him the Tomahawk chop for let's run and he didn't take off with me, however when I slowed down for my turn lane he punched it and came by. How do you think that would have turned out?

chevy38fan Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 was it a regular cab or club cab (extended).. I know the club cabs usually run around 15.5-6 down here stock.. and the reg cab's 15.3-1.5 (funny how close they are in times, for the different weight...) it truely depends on your truck. I don't know what your truck does in the 1/4 and from reading this forum, the SS is much like the hemi.. every single one runs different in the 1/4. but since you hung with a GT you're in the 15 flat range (for sea level elevation) (since it was a rolling start). most auto mustang gt's run around 15 flat to 15.2 stock around here and the stick versions run around 14.7-14.9.. a lot of it is driver (ESPECIALLY with a manual.. like I said.. playing with V6 stick shift mustangs.. hehe.. that's a LOT of fun.. cause they can't EVER drive.. you see that hood raise then it drops for like... 3 seconds while the retard shifts.. then in your rear view you see the lights spring back up.. all while you're still smoking the tires through the intersection.. HEHE!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deezel Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 .. then in your rear view you see the lights spring back up.. all while you're still smoking the tires through the intersection.. HEHE!) Not in most SS's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSMANIAC Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Try from stop, It will be about 1.5 to 2 car lenghts in your favor. Got to take advantage of the AWD That's why is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevy38fan Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 yeah i forgot you guys had that AWD.. hehe.. I'm stuck with one tire fire.. (dodge coulda atleast gave me a two tire fire.. and since I didn't "order" my truck, I didn't get a chance to put a check mark next to ANTI SPIN Diff. oh well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
