lol nicee. my bestie has a mustang (the green one floating around the forum) so it was kinda fun to whip the 'stang since he was watching & all :p

 

I work with a girl like this... annoys the hell outta me. She has a GT and is always sayin how she don't have a "stupid lil v6". I have never raced my car but let me tell you what... my Dad was in his SuperBee and I was in Ol Red on a back road where we knew no cops ever go and we both got into it... I kept up with him pretty well, and the SuperBee has a 6.1 Hemi. When we got back to the house my Dad's jaw dropped in disbelief that I had kept up with him.

 

Took mine in April bone stock. Best time was a 14.95 in the 1/4. Need to get stickys for the front for the spinning.....grrrrrrrr I have mini videos from my SD card from my camera but for some reason I can't load them to my laptop like the pics.....want to go back to see difference with the few mods I made.

 

Let me tell you, both the V6 and V8 Mustangs from 1996-2004 are horribly underpowered and dog slow. The V6 at most came with 193HP and 225TQ in 2004, still only doing 0-60 in 9 seconds and the 1/4 mile in somewhere over 16 seconds, the GT V8 version came with 265HP and 302TQ in 2004, still only doing 0-60 in 6.1 seconds and the 1/4 mile in 14.5 seconds on average.

Those numbers are horrible compared to the Monte Carlo V6, N/A or S/C! Especially considering that the GM N/A or S/C could keep up with that GT pretty well, and if it's S/C probably pass it. And especially horrible compared to the Camaro, I won't even list off those numbers! The GT for those 8 years was pretty much a joke, not much to brag on unless they were heavily modified.

 

You try foot braking it to a higher rpm out of the hole then?

 

nahh not this time i didnt try. i'm still not entirely comfortable with it so i'm gonna go out to some backroads & practice a couple times before i make a fool of myself in front of people lol i put the car into 1st & nailed the gas just enough to where it wouldn't spin the tires & then shifted it after it hit 5200 rpms down the track so i'd get the full 240hp before i shifted up

 

if you talking about putting slicks on with stock input shaft, i wouldn't do that.

 

Drag radials, not slicks

 

I'm taking Ol' Red to Maryland International Raceway June 18th for the first time. Can't wait...SO excited.

 

the track is so much fun, everyones gotta try it. i went for the first time not to long ago, had some awful runs but a couple of good runs in there. first time at the track, first time in the monte carlo, first time to line up, i won =D that was the most important part of the day for me!
