Bone stock 2000 GT with an automatic on stock tires, runs 14.61 at 98.1 mph. That's my brother's car, with a full tank of gas in it. My cousin has an '01GT 5-speed. Stock tires, 14.1@101 and on the Nitto's he's running 13.7's at 102mph.

A 94-95 would be hard-pressed to get into the 14's in bone stock trim. Some mods help, and good driving does too.

Setup an earlier Fox mustang with a good h/c/i and you'll be mid 12's or faster if setup properly. I'm pretty sure most Z28's, SS's, etc don't run that, and you can do the Fox for less than the cost of the newer Bowties. For me, the difference between a Z28, SS or a Mustang is the cost. Unfortunately, the Camaro is gone, and the Mustang is left to contend with the Corvette, and the ricers. It all depends on what you want.

i bought my 88 gt for 1500. i then put like 2k in it tomake it run then another like 2k for mods. new wheels,tires, gears,a little bit of suspenion and a zex nitrous kit. my car runs 13.56 in the 1/4. and by no means am i a good driver. with a good driver in my car i think it can go into high 12's or low low 13's.

i didn't know the new gt's are that quick. i know they're rated at 260 horsepower, but what is the torque rating?

^^^^^^:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Why not put some gears and a convertor in the Mustang and go fast.. :confused:

SEE SIG!!!!!

^^^^^Those are the UNDERSTATEMENTS OF THE DECADE!!!!
;) :cool:

^^^^:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Car in sig.. WHEN stock with the exception of cold air kit, pullies and mufflers on stock 16inch ponies with AODE and stock 3.27 gear.. 90 degree heat.. 365lb driver 14.59@97.6

Thats awesome! Were you able to back that time up? My 94 AODE convert ran that fast with h/c/i. It wasnt until I put the JMS chip in when I really noticed a difference. That thing took me from 14.50's@95 to 14.0's@98.

Your car is definately the exception to the rule. Are you sure there wasnt anything else done to it? :D

That's an awesome time! Congrats!

Please keep in mind that I said bone stock trim. That means no pullies, cold air kit or mufflers. Being a regular at the two local tracks myself and friends of mine have only seen rare instances where a 94-95 (completely stock AODE cars) have broken the 14's. I didn't say it wasn't possible, just hard pressed to do it. On average they are a low 15 second car.

i've just figured out how to add a signiture. i have 3.73's already, not sure if i'd like to get a high-stall converter. i'll see after i get better heads.

[B]You would DEFINITELY benefit from a higher stall dude. You may want to consider it sooner than later. Although where your heads & cam start making power is a factor to be considered when figuring out a good, higher stall speed. A 2000-2500 rpm stall would really wake your car up.

Well.. I think that the stock "optional" 3.27 gears helped a good bit.. I backed it up with a string of .60's and .70's... the same day..
Of course my 95 always seemed a little stronger than others i was around..

Yeah i am aware of the "bone stock" comment.. BUT, that is the closest it was to stock when i took it the first time to the track.. I still feel it could have easily ran 14.80-.90 in STOCK trim.. KEEP IN MIND i am a 365lb driver which easily negated the pullies and cold air kit:D

[B]A QUALITY convertor like a stallion will pick the car up a MINIMUM of 5 tenths of a second (with traction of course)

Re: Re: Re: Re: why do i do it?
 

A "STOCK" aode convertor has a stall speed of 19-2400 rpm.. A 2500 rpm convertor would not pick the car up and would be a total waste of money.. MINIMUM stall speed on a aode equipped car (they are HEAVY...) would be a 3200 .. I have a 3800 in mine and drive it anywhere and everywhere.
