[cilvrwing]

[1BAD89]

The Z28 is quite a bit faster.

[Smokedawg]

If you buy a 2001 Ford GT, it will have about 260hp..I think that the Camero's are pushing around 300. Then the Cobra SVT is pushing 320hp! and only costs about 26,000...

I drove a 00 SS the other day for the hell of it and wasn't impressed. Get the cobra or buy a GT and spend the extra $ on mods. I bought a used 00 GT (4k miles) with every option for 18k, put on 1k worth of bolt ons and it runs strong. I ran 14.2 before any mods, I'm expecting high 13's next time at the track. You could just go ahead and pay 30k for an SS though, they arent bad, I just personally didnt find it fun to drive. Just my 2 cents.

I've raced two LS1s while driving my Mustang and beat one. The only reason the other beat me was because I spun off the line. And I've raced once while driving my GN and beat it.

So I'm 2-1 against LS1s. Yeah, I can hang with them still.

my frens 2001 gt supercharged auto....is running 13.8 in 1/4 mile...what u guys think of this???

[Smokedawg]

You know what I think of that..I think something is wrong. Arent those cars suppost to be low 14's high 13's stock..but then again thats w/a 5-speed..But it should still be faster than that.

He's got issues! There is a guy here locally with automatic, gears, drag radials and a Procharger on his car running 12.2's @ 112.

Thats also in the Hot Texas heat probably.

There was a guy with a silver 2000 GT that had NO power adders, just gears, exhaust, a few suspension pieces, Timing adjuster, Throttle Body, and pullies running on an average of 13.2 at 101 MPH. His highest speed was 104, lowest was 99. Fastest time was 12.98, slowest was 13.5. That was in Rockingham at the MOd Motor Shoot out. What is strange though, is there was a few 99+GT's that were running mid to high 13's with BLowers. I think they were Autos though.

There was this awesome Cobra that had a 100% stock block but just a blower running 18 lbs of boost, well thats what the announcer said. He was clocking High 9's with a 140 something MPH. I'm not sure if he had the stock gears in it, didnt get a chance to find him and talk to him. T

Hmm that's funny because I was the only NA car to run a 12 at the Mod Motor Shootout. The silver car ran a bunch of low 13's but no 12's. Only reason I know this is because I won the 2v NA class this year.

Guess I didn't update my sig as I did on other boards.

I would of sworn that the guy in the silver GT dipped into the high 12's on a run. He bowed out early because he couldnt run consistantly enough. I thought the wagon out there was interesting.

I'm trying to remember. It was so damn hot Sunday out there that I was probably seeing things. Every time I go to Rockingham drag strip I get sunburnt big time.

I was kinda disapointed that the power adder 2V were running like they were. Seemed like the NA 2V were running just as fast, if not faster.

I agree it was hot out there. I was in pain for my 11 hour ride back home! Between qualifying and eliminations my best pass was a 13.03. I had a 12.96 pass but that was during time trials on Sunday. The Silver GT was running DR's most of the day on Sunday till his buddy let him run his ET street's. That got his times down in the 13.2 range but never went any quicker.

The 2v PA class was a little of a disappointment to me as well at least the ET's were. Last year it was won with a car in the 10.8 range. For next year I may be running the power adder class in which case I plan on winning again!
