Modded 90 LX vs 98 GT?

[95GTS]

Well, in response to 96GTS, I can guarantee you that I won't miss a shift. Also, don't be too hasty to compare your care with mine stock, because remember, yours does have less bhp. I don't think that I will necessarily win against sonics2042's LX, but I do feel confident that I won't lose by any more than a few tenths. Soon, however, all of this debating will all be over, because we will do our race this weekend (assuming the weather is good). Once we do, we'll let you know who wins.

That's good that you won't miss a shift. One big thing I would recommend in helping with saving that crap T45 and improving shifting even more would be for you to get an aftermarket shifter such as the Steeda Tri-ax. Your stock shifter is crap. I had to have my T45 rebuilt with only around 40,000 miles on it. Anyways, I was just going off what your friend said about your driving and I quote:

[QUOTE]And I think the 98 GT runs about a 15.2 with a good driver. And I sincerely doubt he knows the optimal shift points. Actually I know he doesn't.[QUOTE]

Sounds like he wasn't too sure about your shifting abilities which is why I commented about it. Yes mine had 10 hp less stock. That's hardly a difference. It was also 200-300 pounds lighter than yours is so that makes up for it and then some so I will compare. Power to weight ratio makes a big difference. I don't think you'll lose by much either. I never said that you would. But, it's also more than likely that you will lose by a few car lengths. How many? I don't know. You'll just have to race and let us know how it goes. Also get some gears in that thing. Go with at least 3.73s. You will be much much happier . Good luck. If he drives bad you'll kick his butt and vice versa. Driver plays a part, too. But car vs car I give it to the 90 LX.
