Mustang GT
So who knew, that although the 04 Mustang GT may beat us off the line, we can take them in the long run because their speed limiter bogs them out at 110, where as ours doesnt stop us until 125. or Not at all if you have a re-programmed ECU, ahahhaa

RE: Mustang GT
yep, thats why i said long run. i know this because a friend of mine has an 04 GT, and we were about 250 away from where we had to be, so we were messin with eachother a little bit, although he would take me from say.... 80-110, after that i would be able to catch up, pass and gain some lead on him because thats all he could do. we didnt actually race the whole 250 miles.

RE: Mustang GT
LMAO. That would be one heck of a race right there.:D

RE: Mustang GT
ORIGINAL: SoCalSS LMAO. That would be one heck of a race right there.:D I did hand it to a V6 'stang though. I know it's not thing for a Monte, but my car was a 4 banger. He got me off the line but once I hit 3rd gear it was a wrap! |
RE: Mustang GT
hmmm..if your friends GT cuts at 110...something is wrong...
over the past 15 or so years, ALL 6 cylinder stangs were goverened to 110, including the new body style. sorry to say, but.. Car and Driver magazine's road test of the Ford Mustang GT. Standing 1/4-mile: 13.8 sec @ 102 mph Top speed (governor limited): 149 mph. ... it was my uinderstanding that in the mid 90s the GTs were also governed, but i have since learn otherwise... |
RE: Mustang GT
Hmm... Maybe my friend just doesnt know how to drive then, which wouldnt surprise me at all. He did say himself though that he is governed to 110. Unless he is not only a bad driver but stupid as well. Thanks for the info though.

RE: Mustang GT
so much for that theory:D

RE: Mustang GT
Yeah I guess so huh? oh well, hmm... what else can we beat? lol

RE: Mustang GT
ORIGINAL: SoCalSS Damn! that's vicious man. I'm from reno, they have races all the freakin time there, thats where i have done most of my racing, the only thing i did here in cali was a friend of mine own a Mitsu Lancer RalliArt, and of course he's gonna think its all hard-a*s and ****e. so we were just messing around one day when we both came up to an empty light, so i figured f*ck it, i might as well school him a little bit, light turned green we both layed on it and i completely destroyed him. other than that i havent done anything in cali. |
RE: Mustang GT
i personally dont think that the new Stang GT is that fast. My GTP killed one the other night from a rolling start. not to BS either, he definlty would have taken it off the line
|
RE: Mustang GT
the manual new stang, with a decent driver should easily get into the mid 13s...13.40-13.60 stock....i dont know about the automatics...
|
RE: Mustang GT
I cn tell you they will take you from the light!!
We have a blue one here that i haved lined up with and i tok the better light but before i could get out of the holei was plying catch up with him Now with that said i did keep up with him and he didnt get to far from me the whole way threw it . But it was only about a mile or so. for distance i think we have a chance. Also you have to remeber they are rear wheel drive and fords come from teh factory with a good gear in them I dont even think the Montes have the best gears in them from the factory . Not to mention i would love to run him agian with my car as a rear wheel drive But they have us on weight to. I belive . so When ya run one the best thing i can say is be rollin when ya do it. Tehy tend to spin do to the light tail they have we have the advantage o the wheel pullng have more weight on them then thiers do |
RE: Mustang GT
im wondering, what are the stock figures for the new GT stang? and how many mods would have to be done to a MC SS or GPGTP to beat it off the line?
|
RE: Mustang GT
it looks like a stock 01 GTP should turn in around a 14.9. the slowest GT MT QM time ive found is a 13.94...i cant find a QM time ANYWHERE for the auto tranny...i have found a AT V6 QM speed of 15.35...so the auto tranny GT is between those times..id guess 14.3 maybe? so youd need some blower work...is your car intercooled
|
RE: Mustang GT
Well the reason Im asking is that Im a sucker for SLP...ive been considering buying a whole bunch of new toys for the GTP and im just curious about the performance differences from stock. Im sure someone has some SLP stuff on their Monte SS |
RE: Mustang GT
Wouldn't it be nice to run into a lump sum of money and be able to blow it on your car? You guys have me dreaming now...................
|
RE: Mustang GT
OH, LOL, dont think for a second that I can do that, like the kids driving the Stang theyre rich daddy bought them. Im just gonna blow like 2 paychecks or so to pump her up a little bit

RE: Mustang GT
honestly nj, i dont think you have that much do to to keep up with the older GT MTs, or the newer GT ATs
|
RE: Mustang GT
hey my car can pass any of them on the road to include yours patrick.
it only take a deversion and 15min. and one lug wrnch and 4 bricks e wont beat me if im out of gas and pushing it fo the first 50 foot LMAO!!!!!!! |
RE: Mustang GT
hahaha...good point!
|
RE: Mustang GT
Patrick, Im thinking-
SLP SC Pulley SLP Ram Air box Ram Air Hood SLP Headers and full exhaust Just to start |
RE: Mustang GT
i would check around on the legality of the headers and exhaust.....i think NJ is tight with emissions, no?
|
RE: Mustang GT
yea VERY tight emissions....Im gonna have to look into that
|
RE: Mustang GT
ORIGINAL: nj85z28 yea VERY tight emissions....Im gonna have to look into that Emissions in California is so much different than here in Oregon. In California, they did the OBD II scan, stuffed a thingy in the tailpipe, did a visual inspection under the hood, checked that all the VIN#'s matched, it's a good 20 minute ordeal. Here in Oregon, they hook up the OBDII scan and a minute later you're rolling out the door. And it's $30 cheaper than down in Cali |
RE: Mustang GT
Patrick, I have the SLP Loudmouth exhaust on mine, and I freakin love it. Both performance and sound wise, there is deffinitely a noticeable gain in both aspects. However, I was looking into that QuickTime Performance Electric Cutout Valve they have on pfyc.com its only 150 bucks and it sounds like it would be totally bad-azz. Has anyone here had any experience with cutouts? I am mostly wondering about the complete lack of back-pressure being that it were completely open.

RE: Mustang GT
your emissions test is FREE?? in PA, its like 40 bucks, when i used to work as an inspector...plus the safety inspection which is another 20...both required yearly...if you fail the emissions, you have to keep paying to have it done until you pass...there are some areas, such as the county which houses philly, that charge up to 200 per emission test. get this crap...i dont know if they do this anymore,but one county in eastern PA would have your car on rollers, similar to a dyno...PLUS the obd II PLUS the tailpipe test. so they measured the actual output across various ranges of speeds...
socallss...i have seen cutouts, but only on cars with Very big engines, and LOTS of torque. i would honestly feel that removing that much backpressure will lose you low end torque. |
RE: Mustang GT
Inspection constists of (all for free)-
External check for rust, headlights, tail lights, marker lights and tire tread Open hood to check for vin#s, etc cars 96 and under get ran on the dyno with the tail pipe wand 96 and up get the OBD scanner on the dyno then, they do about 20 MPH and slam the brakes on a machine that measures the braking distance then they check the pressure of your gas cap also, they will not run your car on the dyno if the tires are not almost identical, no snow tires on the back, etc, and sometimes they check the springs and shocks with a machine that holds your tires and shakes the hell out of it Check engine light, automatic fail Sharp rust, automatic fail Now, there is an option of getting a private inspection, at a private state facility i.e. a shop with a dyno machine, but usually it cost about 100-150$ |
RE: Mustang GT
here in texas if you live outside of collin/dallas county or any other large city county they dont have to pass emisions my friend has straight pipes and has had it for 3 years 2 speeding tickets and no tickets for emisions sticker but on the other had the cut outs for montes are ok my bro has one it sounds great untill it backfires which happens alot i asume because of the back pressure for montes needs to be at certain level. but if you are ok with backfireing every now and then they sound great especial if you get the auto kind where all you have to do is press a button to open it. it sounds great going from a quiet system to hearing it roar
|
RE: Mustang GT
It may sound great, but like Patrick noted, these V6's require a certain amount of back pressure or you loose quite a bit off the top end. Now what that loss is I am not sure.. May be a non issue.

RE: Mustang GT
when ive drove it with the cut out open i cant seem to tell a diff than when it is closed so if it is it is very minimal. but then again he does have a long list of mods-
18" Voxx Argus wheels Falken Tires 255 / 45 ZR18 Hypertech 160' degree thermostat Magnaflow Exhaust Custom stainless steel tips MPD Ram Air Hood Plenum to fit Thrasher Thrasher Shift Kit Thrasher Cold Air Intake Zex NOS Kit Zex Purge Kit Next Level Rear Sway Bar ZZP HVTB Stage I Manual Exhaust Cutout Magnaflow High Preformance Catalytic Converter Zex Spark Plugs and Taylor 8mm Wires |
RE: Mustang GT
Yep, the thought of lack of back pressure was certainly on my mind. however, the cool thing about this cutout is that with the switch, mounted inside the car none the less, you can open it as much as you want, all the way, half way, 1/4 of the way 11/32 of the way if you want. so i would play around with a little bit to find the best position to allow for maximum use of back-pressure, while still increasing power. I think I will give it a shot and I will let y'all know how it goes.
|
RE: Mustang GT
Now that would be cool, I did not know they made an adjustable waste gate... Where do you get them at?
TVW |
RE: Mustang GT
I'm pretty sure I found it on pfyc.com it's made by QuickTime Performance, check it out.
