Let the muscle car wars begin!

Specific's of the race:
Black 2004 GTO / White 2005 GT
R/T-.085 / .337
60ft-2.16 / 1.99
330-5.878 / 5.807
1/8-8.870 / 8.985
mph-82.67 / 76.73
1000-11.434 / 11.735
1/4-13.593 / 14.046
mph-105.18 / 97.76

The 'stang was only 3 days old...what a way to break it in 😀
 
I should have added, both these guys are good drivers. The 'stang owner has a Cobra that does 11's, and the GTO had the following mods: titanium coated headers/Randon-Tech midpipes/K&N Aircharger/Taylor 8mm Spiro-Pro wires/NGK TR-55 plugs/Diablo Tuner.

Gotta love a guy that takes his pony with only 400 miles on it to the track :beer:
 
Man, hope those stangs get better w/ age and the GTOs too. The car I am buying this weekend is faster than the stang 1/4 mile wise. I am getting a 1999 Grand Prix GTP w/ a few simple mods already done 13.79 @ 100.98

EDIT: Misread the GTOs time.

Edit: BTW, what mods?

Why coat headers with titanium? 😕
 
Edit: BTW, what mods?
Click to expand...

3.4" pulley
intense PCM
180 tstat
removed ubend
autolite 103 plugs (gotta get new ones those are a little cold)

And once I get it first thing on the list is a new setup from the cat back and 12" brakes up front.

Sweet. I have a 99 GTP. So far the only thing I've done is the GMPP suspension upgrade. I'd like to do more, but I've already got an impractical weekend car, and the GTP is supposed to be my daily driver.
 
what trannies do both cars have? I'm guessing from the 60' times, they're both manuals, but wanna make sure.
 
Thats funny, motor trend tested an automatic v8 mustang and it ran a 13.5 1/4 mile.
The mustang sure looks sweet though.
 
sure a big disparity in reaction times.

Also it's interesting Mustang was faster to 330, I wonder if past that point there was either a slow shift, or if the gearing of the Mustang was just not as well suited ?
 
And the GTO has 40hp over the Mustang. I'm sure with more practice it'd be a lot closer than that. C&D and MT both got a lot better times with the automatic than that.
