angrmgt said:hi to all, being the owner of a z06 and an 03 gt, i can tell you from personal experience, stock to stock, a z06 will smoke a gt. like it was said before, a vette is a lot more money, but no way in god's green earth will a mustang gt, mach 1 and to some degree, a cobra beat a z06, again, all being bone stock. dont get me wrong, i love my mustang, but a vette beater it isnt. my z06 is essentially stock, only a vararam intake and stingers, which is just a sound adder and i run 12.4 granny shifting at 117..z06's have the potential if driven hard(powershifting) for 11.8's. just my 2 cents...
myponyrocks said:I dont think its a dumb question,
he quite obviously stated a MODIFIED N/A GT vs a stock Vette... end of story, sure he could search threads or time slips, but I'm guessing hes meaning light to light, while light to light is similar to the 1/4 in some ways, the setup would be different, Kens car probly would be very volatile on the light to light action...
So I'm putting words in his mouth now, but what would a N/A GT need to beat most stock vettes concistantly and still be a fairly comfortable DD
04DarkShadowGT said:The only way a N/A GT will run with a competant driver of a C5 or C6 vette is if they are set up strickly for drag and have drag tires.
A street tired GT mustang with 300whp will not outrun a street tired stock C5 because the vette weights less and has more power. Just wont happen unless the vette driver is terrible.
c5's pulling 12.5s bone stock....better check yourself on that oneponyguy said:I ran 13.4's with my bone stock 1996 Auto vette. Friends at the time with Lt4 cars could pull 12.9's and C5's from about 1999 on could easily pull 12.5's not counting the Z06 which seemed to vary greatly but there were plenty of low 12 guys here in chitown.

nickthegenius said:Right, but just keep in mind the 478,956.13 times this has been brought up that their drivers suck because of the times they got with Mustangs. They get numbers like 14.5 for 99-ups and there are guys on here slipping into the 13.9x's with nothing more than killer driving and dumping some air out of the Crapyears.
Nice timesjust some guy said:ive beaten about 5 vettes, some with mods-some without.
CdnNavybob said:I think what this thread has shown is that you need to be more specific about what kind of Vette you're talking about and where you want to beat it. 1/4 mile? stoplight to stoplight? Open Track? C5? Z06? C6?
And to whoever said that a Mustang can compete with a Vette in a handling race, you should qualify that you'd have to completely rebuild the Mustang's suspension from the ground up. The Vette has the inherant advantages of a lower CG, lower overall weight and better weight distribution, not to mention better suspension geometry. Just watch any Grand Am race. Very few Mustangs compete and those that do don't fare too well, and we're not even talking about competing against Vette's here. 03/04 Cobras are getting smoked by cars like the 350Z, Acura RSX-S and the RX-8 because they simply out handle the Stang. take a look at these results:

There are no Vette's here but anybody who watches any type of road racing knows that they typically go head to head with the Porsche 996's. The Cobras here are being smoked by cars in a lower class!! Mustangs can go pretty good in a straight line but other than that, sorry, forget it. They simply aren't made for it.
