Finally ran my car

[Winters98GT]

well, Ive had this old 1997 gt for about a year now. Originally, I was going to make it my third headswap/cam car and shoot for mid 12's. Plans changed.....

I visited my parents in san antonio, and was bored today. I decided to take the car out to SAR tonight. The first time I have run a car in many years. The car had an bbk h pipe on it, but I swapped it back for the stock one. So, the car is bone stock, right down to the paper filter. The car has the crappy 2.73 gear in it and 155k on the odometer. The car also has a broken motor mount, and exhuast leak.

Ive used to running on a well prepped track. SAR was impossible to hook up on. Slick cars were spinning uncontrolably. I have never seen that many cars have such a hard time in one night.

Thought Id share some more slow mustang times with yall!

When I read the title to the thread I was somewhat upset since I didn't receive a pm. I was going to head out to the track tonight but now see it was at SAR.

When are you coming back to Houston to fix the car? Stop vette hunting and work on your little NPI

Really not bad considering the bone stock nature of the NPI stang. Good thing you had those gears if the track was that badly prepped - less spinning for you. Good luck with the future mods!

 

[98COBRA281]

wow thats good, when i went to the track i had, 373s, cai, o/r h pipe cat back, ud pullies and the best i could get was a 14.9 with a 2.6 60 foot, i must suck at driving

 

[d98gt]

Yeah you must if you are cutting 2.6 60's So much for people thinking it's an actual cobra since you have the emblems and all

Let's get a Houston meet up ASAP while the weather isn't 100+ yet.

 

[98COBRA281]

damn street tires i smoked 1st and 2nd maybe thats why i had a 2.6 60, but i got a 96 mph trap

You've got some mph for a couple good times. When my GT was bone stock, I ran a 14.67 @94, and that was with a 2.2-something 60' time as the track sucked. Put the BBK pipe back on. I gained .2 and 2mph just from that.

With only the H-pipe, I ran a 14.27, which is as good as some people get with a PI car.
