Can my 96 beat a 05??

[Omars96GT]

hey whats up.. i have a 96GT with flowmasters and BBK H-pipe, short shifter and 75mm TB. Im planing to put a 3.73, will this be enough to beat a 05 GT with a 3.73? and what times do you guys think i'll run at the track with a 3.73 and PI cams and intake

Not even close - sorry
If were not talking about beating the driver here - there's no way. There's people who think my car can't beat a simple bolt on S-197, to give you an idea.

haha, no, you will lose.
if that guy knows how to drive. it'll actually be a sweep, my 98gt, before the pi swap, i had a bbk plenum, throttle body, intake, 3.73, mac-x. and when i got my 03 gt, me and my brother raced....at the track....and i pulled on him going into third gear. and my car at the time was stock. also, i dunno what your gear ratio is, mine was 2.73 before i got 3.73's. you will actually not stand a chance.

sorry for sounding so negitive. but....yeah. good luck though

you have to be running sub 14's to do so... The mods you have would put you in the mid-low 14s right now...

 

[Omars96GT]

So if i put 3.73 i still have no chance????

 

[scupking]

Sorry to say it but you have no chance at all even with gears.

No you'll need more than that to beat a s197. They are truley badass stangs stock. Don't get discouraged though. Mod that beast and practice you driving skills and add a little juice and than you'll have a chance

sounds like im going to end up putting a mach1 motor in it with a 125 shot, i think that will do it. lol

lol, start saving up.
and with the money your going to be putting into it, i would actually sell the car you have now.....and buy a 4v

Or a 3v. You can find used 05+ stangs for 14-18k.

Yea you could find them cheap but screw a car payment. My car is pretty damn quick and i have no payment. That means i can spend more on it to make it faster. I like that idea better. I'll much enjoy beating a 3v gt wif my wittle ole 2v. The s197's are titts though

Sometimes having a new car is nice.

My '03 is getting too damn old for me. It's time for a newer car.

amen. Love the sn95's I have had over the years, but at some point, I realized I have to move on.

I did it right---rebuild the engine and stay in the old car
