stock 07 gt in the 12's, NO WAY. termy "advertised" HP is 390hp390tq (flywheel) and they run 12.5's. stock gt's run 13.7ish


Where are you guys getting 12's from? I am confused... Look at the articals I posted from MuscleMustangs and Fast fords They have a car with just basic bolt ons and some cheap weight reducers 12.5 with 3:55 gears. They have thses cars in 9's already... I am talking about a car set up with bolt ons no S/C can get in 12's I guess I have to prove it at FFW. If we still had that Garage thing you can see with my MPH it should be in 12's my 60FT is what was killing me not grabing traction

Stock ran in the 12's?????? Wow they hid something from them. It should not be able to do that no matter what. Stock that is.

I had a neighbor in Washington who had a SRT-4 that ran in the high 12's.....I will say the one time we met at a light....his car was quite a bit quicker and faster than mine, so if he was high 12's on a 1/4 mile then mine would have been high 13's if not low 14's. Just food for thought....you will never be fast enough to beat everyone all the time.

Gib as I said before it is also driver. I have been beat by a SRT4 I have beat a few as well though. I seen a girl in Bakersfield her licence plate rame said "dont be scared its a neon Im a girl" ran 11's That is true you will never be faster than everyone but its fun adding mods and seeing power gains and the looks of the car from Stock till present. Just for record you should be able to beat a stock SRT4. Driver Driver Driver. Machman ran mid 13's in his mach all day long. Dustin's best run was a 14. Before he deployed he ran a 13.1 or 2 I forget. Its knowing you car as well.

The SRT-4 was "MILDLY UPGRADED" I still do not buy that your best is 13.5 and with headers you think you will hit 12's????

Maybe I misunderstood you but that is the way I took it.....

You did miss something maybe I didnt explain well enough. Here is the break down
Bakersfield 1/4 mile track 95+ temp (my car only slip i have from famoso) Mods CAI, Diablo tune, and Stock 235 Tires aired down, JBA axcel backs
R/T .365
60ft 2.336
1/8 9.030
1/4 13.77 ( car has gone best of 13.6 )
mph 105.17

New Mods since 13.6 run

Stang Suspension: Lowering springs, pan hard bar, lower control arms, upper control arm
Hurst short throw shifter
Gt500 replica wheels 285 BFG's
BBK Throttle Body. bbk headers
4:10 gears

Now with these mods and all the practice I have had at a poopy track (Qualcom) and the MPH from 13.7 run the car should be in 12's Do you understand now?
Here is the timeslip from other side or the guy I ran against. It was a traction problem for me and now I have a little more umfah to get me down track quicker and out of hole faster. Here is other run

r/t .248
60ft 2.009
1/8 8.5 (my car does this at qualcom)
mph 84.26
1/4 13.2
mph 104.44

Make since now?

2.10 with traction problems, like sideways traction problems. man i hope the slicks fix that. i hate that track.


Bro I look at it like this... all the practice we get down there on that crappy track will pay off when we go to a nice track that you can actually hook on

^^^ You made it sound as though headers were gonna get you into the 12's.....and that a S197 only needed a tune, gears, and exhaust to get into the 12's......


With everything you have done I would be pissed if I was not there already. The headers are gonna sound better but they wont help power much at all.

I run 8.6 to 8.8 all night long. I run better when I run against a faster car for some reason. Mine is a Stick. My buddy runs down there has same car as Gibs C/S Mustang.
Auto car. He has cold air no tune, stock ford racing exhaust, bbk T.B and headers 75 shot at wide open throttle ( which is 2nd and 3rd ) 235 rear tires he runs 8.1 This is why I debate should I go Nos, or cams

well now why would they say you do??????

Anyways I dont see a stock 05+ GT running 12's I dont see a slightly modded 05+gt Running 12's either. and 285s dont help all that much. I have them on my car and I light them up pretty easilly Now my Nittos seem to hook decently but i can still roast em'

same here, but they have been hooking a lot better recently. i think my tire pressure must have dropped or something. mav, if you are running 9.1's phill will beat you. i was threre a few weeks ago when he was running, maybe with slicks you can drop time off the 60' and get him. thats what i want to do.
