98gt Vs. 99gt

[85MustGT]

My neighbor has a 99 GT vert with a 5 speed and 3:27 gears. His car has always been faster than my 98 GT 5 speed 2:73 gears.
Last week I had 4:10s installed, do I got a chance? I know his car has more HP, but I have more gear now?

make it a short one the pi heads will take over in the long run. 1/8th mi you should get him, 1/4mi you might get whupped

of course if there are more mods on either of you cars than you told us, that would make a difference too

Run and let us know. Shorter the distance the better the chance.

Otherwise, this could open up into another them vs us thread.

Don't want to start any war! Both cars are stock. I will let you guys know how it works out.

but u closed the gap

You're not putting any more power to the wheels then before (and may in fact be putting a little less now.) Your car will feel more responsive and will feel like it's hitting harder but there's also less terminal velocity at each RPM point. Basically, the gears will get you out of the hole quicker than before and you may do better in the very early going of a race but your 1/4-mile time is still power-limited.

Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

I could beat it. NA with stock gears. If that means anything.

 

[stangman]

out of curiosity, how much did he you by before the gears????? if it wasn't by much, & he can't drive well & you can, you might be waving at him on the way by. but thats if you can learn to launch on the new gears, without lighting the tires up. they can be tricky when your not used to them

I think the 98 could win.
That 99 is a vert (more weight, slower time).
Plus now the 98 has 4,10's.
Wonder if both are 5 speeds?

Agreed. Especially since the gears are new and you more than likely don't have enough practice and a handle on them. 25hp is a lot to overcome even with the extra weight of the vert. But good luck and let us know how it goes. I'm rootin' for ya.

You said his car was faster in the past(before gears), by how much would he beat you?

 

[Snarf]

Yeah it will definetly be a neat race! Good luck!

Video tape it! We need something to raz the '99 GT guys with...

Maybe leave your rear seat out and your spare and don't eat for a couple days to give you an edge...

It should be close, sence he has a vert... I think he will start to pull away towards 70mph
