I'm new to computers let alone the internet so please forgive any errors.My 89 Lx is a completely stock long block with just gears ,exhuast & a few freebie tricks & I've run 13.17 @ 102 at New England Dragway in fantastic air with a 1.75 60 ft.

All this stock Stang stuff is interesting.

I'm running a 89 LX hatch with a totally stock long block & original clutch. It has gears,exhuast & underdrives in addition to all the freebie tricks. My best run to date is 13.17 @ 101 mph with a 102 mph run later that day. this was in terrific air at New England Dragway in late Sept 2000. 1.75 60 ft.

An ITR hitting a 14.6 stock means that they bumped the timing real high, ran 94+ octane, dumped all the seats, radio, carpeting, both bumpers, put skinnies on the rear and farted REALY hard near the end to push that extra hundredth of a second to hit a 14.699.

Not that I'm doubting, well okay a little, but a 13.17@101? I'd think a 13.17 would be more likely related to a trap speed of 105 or so. Did you launch on slicks? If you are stock with gears, freebies, and underdrives I'd expect your car to pull off mid 13's at best. Still I've seen Mr 5.0 post about a SD LX that ripped off a 13.8 with just freebies and the optional 3.08's with wicked driving so based on that your numbers seem more real.

Anyway, you're gonna have a ton of jealous Stangers out there if your numbers are real.

That has got to be the funniest post I've read to this day fastang....

Super9089 · 02-07-2001, 04:56 PM

I run the car on MT ET Streets at 13psi. Launch is about 3000 rpm with shifts at 5000 by an autometer shift light. I run the car every weekend in NED super eliminator points class. For most of the season I ran 13.25 to 13.35 depending on conditions.
Also credit where credit is due NED does a great track prep.

Well, seeing that you guys are never going to accept a word I say on this topic, I might as well stop trying. 95% maxed out is exactly what the Type R is. All of you are 100% correct. I am wrong.

fastang - too funny!

inferno - why not compare the '01 Type-R to the '01 Mustang GT ????

Inferno, you are a very very knowlegable person and I do believe that an ITR could hit a 14.9 with perfect conditions, a great launch, lotsa VHT, and bumped timing. Its still stock. But I just dont think it will hit a 14.6. Thats pushin it dude. Three tenths is a LOT. I for one believe that an ITR will outhandle a GT but I dont realy care about handling but it wont outhandle a Cobra or even come close to a Cobra R. Super9089 those are great times, good job and great driving.

This **** AGAIN!?

Once again...I hang out on a couple of different import boards, as well as seen several Type-R's at the strip. While I beleive a high 14 MIGHT be possible with perfect weather, perfect launch ect...the average that I see is low 15's. I've seen that over and over and over. My 89 GT BONE STOCK with 120,000 on the motor ran a 14.5 with bad wheelspin.

Curious why the ITR is being compared to the Fox bodied Mustangs?

I would like to see a shoot out between an ITR, fox body and SN95 Mustang.
All stock to verify these opinions.

Interesting stuff.

Bumping timming on an ITR? lol, ok, now we have a match, a n/a 4 banger against a 5.0, (5sdp), cmon, i wouldnt lose, stock on stock, long as i can hook. now a stage 1 turbo, then he's in the park.

Okay, how many of you guys have driven the Type R? I personally have one parked in my drive way, (even though its my friends

) and I can personally say its not that fast. The conditions and all the variables have to be perfect, including the planets aligning, to keep the car in the 14's, very high 14's at that. But the car is more like a consistant very low 15, enough to hang (I said hang, neaning it's up to the driver to do a little work) with an sn95 with a normal driver (none of us at the MustangWorks) especially the 96-98's. And also, most of the true mustang owners have their car modded so the only real ones he'll (my friend) will be able to keep up with and (gasp) even beat (though not by much) would be the wanna be automatic converts. But the car does have to launch between 4K and 5K, which will take a toll eventually.

Looks like i cuaght this thread a little late.

I raced a lightly modded ITR with a great driver last fall in my stock '97 GT Vert at Luskville Speedway.

I run consistent 14.8 - 14.9 (Need to upgrade the heads to 01's)

In the 1320, i put about 2-car lenghts on the ITR..

If you ask me, they're way over-rated.
Practical though if you're on a budget with a wife and kids and you're looking for something sporty, maybe?
