I've seen a 01 Gt stalled auto with slicks running 13.8s in bracket racing. That was all that was done do it. That sucker would only put down like 215 to the tire.Driven both the 2005+ and the 99-04's down the 1/4. The 2005+ is a good two to three tenths quicker in the Qtr Mile BONE STOCK. Once you start talking mods I cannot talk from experience on anything but my current car.
Back in April, at Atco NJ, she ran a 13.4 @ 105mph with nothing more then an intake and canned SCT tune. How do the 99-04's run with those two mods?

yeah with an auto? I dont believe that for a second. Autos are dogs without a converter or a shift kit.Then there was something wrong with his car. I ran a 13.6 in my automatic car when it had nothing but a catted x-pipe, pullies, and a tune on stock rubber.
My 2005 Mustang GT loves racing Mustangs at the track, it has not lost to another one yet....
I dunno where you race, but it sounds boring as hell if a stockish 05 GT is the fastest mustang out there. I regularly get my ass handed to me by an 11s 5.0 on spray or the 05+ GT with a kenne bell that runs very low 12s. We also regularly have at least 1 or 2 03/04 cobras (always different people) and a handful of other blown GTs of various years that come out just to see what they can do (always different ones too). And that's just what runs in the regular lanes... not the hot lanes.
So either you only run races you think you can win or that's a boring as hell track.
My 2005 Mustang GT loves racing Mustangs at the track, it has not lost to another one yet. It has bit into 3 different 2003 - 2004 Mach 1's and beat them all easily.In fact it has gone faster and quicker than any of the 5 Mach 1's I have seen at that track and one of them had a lot of mods. I pointed that out before. I know that 2 Mach 1's were sold because they were slower than my GT.
I said this before and I will say it again. Stock for Stock, a 2005 GT is a driver's race for a 2003 - 2004 Mach 1. I think a quicker E.T. is possible with the S197 in stock trim with a good driver. Weight wise, the Mach 1 and S197 GT are close, very close. So a race between an older GT and the S197 GT would turn out very similar to what a Mach VS older GT would turn out. That is my $0.02 on it.
Well I dunno,I have ran 1 06 that was a friend(RIP) of mine and he could drive,I won,then another 05-07(dunno the diff)and I beat him.Far as I can tell Im all stock...the only thing I dunno about is the gears.So what is the specs on the 05's cause I have no clue.And on my mach Im not sure but isnt the specs something like 305hp 3??tq,I thought I read that the 04 mach is 310hp 3??tq I dunno.I read an 05 is around 300hp but then again I dunno,with that being said I dont really see how an 05gtvs03-04 mach stock for stock run....the 05 winning all that easily,especially when I have already beaten 2 and I know one of the drivers could drive and I got him by around 1 length.If those specs above are close and with the 03-04 being a lil lighter like I have been reading and 3.55 gears,I dunno what the new ones have,I would think the mach would be at a lil advantage,anyone please correct me if Im wrong on anything.
His best with 3.55's was 13.7 @ 103 MPH with a lot mods( which I listed in previous S197 GT VS 03-04 Mach 1 posts ) including Drag Radials, I matched that with just a SLP LM axleback and Drag Radials on my second outing with the car. Later on that year, I went on to run a 13.68 @ 102 MPH with the same 2 mods and a MGW short throw shifter. Adding just a SCT X-Cal 2, I have been able to beat his best time with 4.10's that he had in his Mach 1. Hence I have trapped higher and ran quicker than his Mach 1 which has been the fastest 03 - 04 Mach 1 at that track.
yeah with an auto? I dont believe that for a second. Autos are dogs without a converter or a shift kit.
Am I reading wrong?You say he has 3.55's then you say you match his 4.10's.You beat his time with a tune also,I was stating stock vs stock.I know the driver plays a huge factor.
Then there was something wrong with his car. I ran a 13.6 in my automatic car when it had nothing but a catted x-pipe, pullies, and a tune on stock rubber.
Exactly, I've been racing for a while and I know mod engines better than most. An auto with those little mods wont those times. They run mid 14s stock.I would say that there's something wrong with your car actually (in a good way), because that's quicker than any other 2V GT i've seen run with similar mods. Most auto's I've come accross are still running low-14's the those same few mods.
