Stang2k5 said:LMFAO ... FAST GTO ??? why do you even bother to argue in this forum. You are just flatout outnumberd by people who love Mustangs and see no comparison to the GTO. Most Mustang owners see your GTO as an overpriced rice body car with a decent motor. You will never win your argument in here. Go play in the GTO forums ... LOL
Well there's your answer. Running on a DR vs. a much more powerful Cobra on a non-DR radial gives you an obvious advantage. I'm of the mind that you don't make excuses when losing, but a Cobra on a DR is going to be an entirely different animal.BlueSuperGoat said:Nearly beaten probably was not the best choice of words, all I mean was that it was close, a car lenth or less. The last 04 Cobra I ran barely took me at the finish line because I took him off the starting line hard. Keyword in your post is "a well driven Cobra", I never said the people I have run are pros, I am just speaking on what has happened so far. I have yet to be "smoked" by a Cobra, not saying it can't happen, but it hasn't happened so far. And yes, all my runs with Cobras I have had my DR's which gets me the jump on the 60ft and is the only reason I have kept it so close.
I completly agree with you about the 05 Stangs. I know they are going to get faster and I am looking forward to it.

I'll be running 275/40-17 MT ET Street Radials tonight at Atco.

Let me tell you...these fuggers are sticky. I have them mounted on an extra set of stock wheels (right down to the stock grey valve stem caps...I love being sneaky) and on the car today. I drove it 45 miles to work, and when they are warm, the rubber feels more sticky than that on the ET Streets on my Buick.BlueSuperGoat said:Nah, I'm not much for excuses, I just run the best I can, I win some, I lose some, either way it is always fun. and I don't plan on having a chance against a cobra on dr's, that takes away my only advantage.
Let me know how the mickey thompsons hook up. When I finish smoking up my nitto drags I plan on replacing them with the mt's.

My halfshafts are going to be begging for mercy.

No racing tonight.Doc GTO said:Are you running the stock size DRs or have you gone to something wider? Your halfshafts will be begging for mercy no matter what . . .
Edit: I just re-read first post on the DRs. Let us know how you do!
Snorman said:No racing tonight.
Atco was closed due to "heavy misting" and predicted rain. I called their hotline before hitting 206 and saved the trip.
Oh well...I've got too busy of a weekend to get over there to race.
Looks like the MT's will come off, the stock F1's will go back on and I'll make it back after the holidays.

Doc GTO said:Look at the thread title . . . 04GTO Vs. 05GT. Did you watch the video? This thread involves the GTO and the 05GT. We have quite a few Mustang owners on our forum but we don't treat them like red-headed step children.
Happy Thanksgiving
Speed_Demon1965 said:Yes I watched the video, but that doesn't explain why GTO owners are here arguing about which car is superior.
willy_sc5.0 said:Lightly modded GTO- 13.5
Stock GT- 13.6
I don't see much to brag about.
There's been '05 GT's to stop the clocks in 13.60's other than the magazine. As for factory stock GTO's running 13.2's, I'm having trouble finding even one. Hook me up.BlueSuperGoat said:More magazine racing from the mustang crowd...
I have yet to see a stock 05 GT get anywhere near the 13.6 mark that motortrend put out there. Mostly I am seeing 14flats and a few 13.9's.
As for the lightly modded GTO comment...check out my sig (and that's with full shifts, no powershifting). Not to mention all the GTO guys running 13.2's and 13.3's bone stock. Not bragging, just the facts.
Anyways, I love the new mustang, I can't wait to see the new cobra, if it is everything I think it is going to be I plan to buy one in 2 years or so. Mostly I look forward to the 05 GT's getting faster, I know you guys have more there and I am looking forward to the increased competition.
See you on the street.
