drove 4.6 01 GT not impressed

Well, I was out test driving not too long ago. I drove a 95GT 5spd. Compared to my 87GT, it was a joke. Nothing past 4500rpm. Just plain nothing.

I bought a 2001 GT on Monday of last week. On the way home, I ran it vs my 87GT. From a 15mph roll the 87GT pulled it like nothing. I was in the 2001, and I did win the race, but it was looking real grim until my friend missed 2nd gear. The 5.0 with the Z spec 2.95:1 1st and 2.73:1 rear gears (not exactly a 1st gear car, LOL) pulled me by a car and was walking pretty good. I now have a 2002 GT due to undisclosed accident damage I found on the 01 the day after I bought it.

The fox 5.0's are no slouches when placed in the hands of a driver who knows what they are doing, and a lot of the new GT owners seem to have a pretty good sized ego. I know what the white 87GT in my driveway can do, and it was enough to put more than 1 LS1 into it's place, and it was well more than enough to put that 2001 GT into it's place.
