Can I beat my buddy?

Blown_Fox · Jul 2, 2004

I have a '90 GT 5.0L AOD with a shift kit, stall convertor, FRPP 3:73's, MAC Long Tube headers, MAC O/R H pipe and American Thunder Flowmaster Catback exhaust. He has a '00 GT 5 spd. BBK Long Tube Headers, BBK O/R X pipe, Flowmaster Catback exhaust, BBK underdrive pulleys, BBK Cold Air Intake. How do you think I'll stack up? His car ran a 9.4 in the 1/8th mile

drgn5.0 · Jul 2, 2004

possibly, a 9.4 is like a 14.6.

GREG91GT · Jul 2, 2004

how much does your car stall to

Blown_Fox · Jul 2, 2004

It's only got a 1500 stall in it cuz I had originally planned on 4:10 gears and I didn't know how much wheel spin I'd have to deal with with a stall. So I chose a 1500 and 3:73's

GREG91GT · Jul 2, 2004

does he have any gears

MadMatt5oh · Jul 2, 2004

not looking good IMO

GREG91GT · Jul 2, 2004

my bone stock 99 cobra on bald tires ran a 8.80 in the1/8th

Blown_Fox · Jul 2, 2004

not looking good? Are 5.0's really that slow that even modded they won't run with the 4.6's ?

MadMatt5oh · Jul 2, 2004

Well, I think stock for stock with you having gears and a built AOD him not it would be close. Youd leave him easilly out of the hole but his motor is going to really start breathing in 3rd gear. Its a matter of having an excellent launch and keeping your lead on him. 5.0s slow? No, it will certainly run with it. Its just that Ive seen them go stock against my buddies 91 gt(5speed with ,pulleys, LT exhaust,cam intake and gears) and barely lose when neck and neck at 3rd. Run him and let us know

actually yes, while i love my AOD to death every once in awhile i kick myself for handicapping myself but starting in the high 15's instead of high 14's. I mean with 4.10 gears, full exhaust, pulleys, CAI, TB, MAF, elec. fan and ac elim. no stall or shift kit i've run 14.5

i used to have an AOD... but i did a T5 swap and i couldnt be happier now... i hated that sluggish AOD with a passion

Jo_885o · Jul 2, 2004

I beat a 99 up vert 5 speed with just full exhaust on my five-o. He killed me out the hole but i hawked 'em down in 2nd and when i jammed 3rd it was a wrap. But hey it comes down to driver, b/c i'm not john force but i get the job done. if u launch good make him come get you. with a stick he's going to spin, advantage already in your favor.

Nottoofast50 · Jul 2, 2004

Should've gone with a bigger stall. Could come down to how good a driver ur friend is.

ECU5.0 · Jul 2, 2004

its gonna depend on the driver....i beat my friend in his 2000 gt all day long, hes got x-pipe and flows...and than i went to the track and lost to a 2000 gt with just flows.

5spd GT · Jul 2, 2004

If your buddy knows how to drive your going to see his taillights pretty quick...I had a 2000 Gt (mods in sig) and now I have a 93 LX (with much more mods) and it is still slower than the 2000 GT...a stock 5.0 vs. a stock 99+GT the 99+ will win in every category...off the line, topend, and handling...

Just remember now a days cubes doesn't matter like it used to...

A stick doesn't mean he is going to spin...that means he doesn't know what to do...

ARed1995GT · Jul 2, 2004

i beat a stock automatic 04 gt with an x pipe with everything in my signature except the performer rpm intake and the throttle body, last night i raced my friend in his 96gt with a 99 motor swap, 3.73 gears, 5 speed, headers, midpipe, mufflers, underdrive pulleys, cold air, and he beat me by 1 car till 115 where we stopped, we raced from a dig and from multiple rolls and we always stayed dead even till 100 and then he'd pull a bit, i also raced my buddy in his 04 GT, automatic, 3.73 gears, chip, x pipe, throttle body, mass air, ported intake plenum, k & n, and we were dead even every race, if the 5 speed gt u are racing does not have gears you might be able to take him for awhile but top end he could pass, do you manually shift ur car 1st, 2nd, drive?

I love the 5 liter but the 5oh will lose this race if the driver skills are relatively equal, IMO

Blown_Fox · Jul 2, 2004

Even with equal parts as his car has, 3:73's compared to his 3:08's and the shift kit the 5.0 will still lose?

Blown_Fox · Jul 2, 2004

I'm mean I'm not expecting to totally blow his doors off I know that won't happen, his car has more power stock, alot less miles and has seen alot less rodding. I'd just like to at least be able to run with his car.

_jb_ · Jul 2, 2004

Yeah I've heard that the 99+ Stangs will beat a 5.0 stock for stock. Not much sure after the modding though

Can I beat my buddy?
