i was wondering if anybody has seen a 99-01 gt with about the same mods i have including the 3.73s run a 13.5 or so on street tires and what about if i throw some drag radials on. the car is a 5 speed.
 
Posted by VortechSaleen (Member # 316) on :
 
Me personally...not with street tires. DR's might get you close.
 
Posted by imbroken (Member # 165) on :
 
DR'S and some professional driving

with gears, slick-equivalent tires, if you can't run a 13.5 you need to replace the driver! heh j/k
 
Posted by TRY2PAZ (Member # 97) on :
 
Actually it was a 13.44 on ET streets.
Hey man if you ran 13.5 or your stock tires, then you are a better driver than I. What track was this at. What was your 60ft and mph. You have ine fast 99 GT.

Jason,
Mad props if your car run's 13.4 on street tires. I know it can be done on drag radias. Remember that I have a stereo and I'm a vert, so I expect 13.3 form you.

If try2paz is the local fastest 4.6 at 13.4 SOHC. What are you guys gonna do when my SOHC Bust out low 11's. When does Sac races open up again. Nothing in the motor will be stock except the block. Ps. Bye
 
Posted by NiTrOSS'00 (Member # 244) on :
 
With the mods you have right now, you should hit flat 14's or hi 13's. If you replace the street tires with drags you might hit 13.5 or so....that is if you know what you are doing behind the wheel

when do we get to see your low 11's? Also, did you miss the part about 'NA' 4.6, as in 'no power adder'. You couldn't shake a stick at all the blown 4.6s that line up at Sears sometimes. comedy!

I'll run you w/ that set up. When are you going to have that done? Shouldn't you pay off your car first before you drop 10K into it. What is the fastest time you have now? I guess your car would run a 15.2 or so. W/ slicks probably 14.6. Let me know your results when you get back from the track. Have you ever ran at the track?

13.5 on street tires and a 99+ GT is easy.

Anyone who can drive should go 13.80's all stock, if not a tad quicker.

Before you all say "no no no", well, I watchd derek run 13.84 dead stock to the paper filter. MTGroove on MW ran 13.66 w/ flows and a K&N, and a few others have gone high 13's as well.

If you can't hit 13.5 w/ those mods, it's your driving, not the car. 2.0x short times would get you there, but you gotta drive it good.

Don't expect to run 2.15 short times and get anywhere near it...

Can you drive? Here's $20 that says you can't hit a 13.80 in a completely stock (down to the tires) '99+ GT.
 

Posted by AaronC (Member # 86) on :
 
I'm gonna agree with Blown93. I hit 13.87 back in April with only 98.xx mph. Most stock 99+ run 98 mph stock so I don't see why they can't do it. He's not saying you're gonna average this ET but he's saying it can definitely be done, and I agree. It took me a 1.98 60' to get it done and like he said 2.10+ ain't gonna cut it.
 
Posted by TeeIN00GT (Member # 525) on :
 
nope i have never been to the track so i dont have any previous ET times, this will be my first time racing legally.

I agree with you boy. Not to down'stang owners, but I don't remember ever seeing a dead stock GT (99+) hit anywhere below 14'2...on october 20th there were a couple (not sure if they had any mods or anthing) and they hit low 14's to flat 14's......I don't recall seing any of them hit the 13's......maybee I'm wrong but i dont remember ever seeing that......modified cobras hit mid 13's like mike hit 13.3 or something like that, and you expect a gt to hit 13.5.........I dont know.....well good luck anyway, let us know how it goes
 

Posted by AaronC (Member # 86) on :
 
first of all most people at the track have no idea on how to drive. It takes a while to learn your car and really know how to move it off the line with limited traction. Most guys at the track are cutting 2.15-2.3 60' times and that's not gonna get you anywhere. You need to be at 2.00 no matter what the track condition. ET is a matter of traction and MPH is horsepower. Look at what Brandon/Denise have done with their 01 TA. 12.66 at 110 with DR's only! Nobody else runs those times but they did and have been cutting several 12.9's lately. Only reason is cause their 60' times are 1.95-2.05 consistently. While everyone else is running 13.3-13.4 he's bangin down times that usually require a few mods.
 
Posted by NiTrOSS'00 (Member # 244) on :
 
I know, 50% of your ET depends on how good you handle your car, and what kind of a driver you are. My car should be hitting way better times than I am, but I'm not a profesional racer............we were saying what PEOPELE with THEIR cars make......if i was to put a pro behind my wheel, i should be hitting 12.5 at least.........you know what i mean..a lot of it does depend on the driver
 
Posted by AaronC (Member # 86) on :
 
But my point is it doesn't take a pro driver to cut a 2.00 and I don't powershift either. TheBrain (Brian) is probably one of the best drivers on this board if not the best. He's cut 1.7's on nittos and powershifts flawlessly.

I second that for all the trash talking i would throw down 20 bucks to shut him up

like seriously...I have to thank TRY2PAZ and especially Ron, JSGIVUP and RiddlerGT for trying to help me cut my times. Not everyone on the board is a professional racer. My first time driving stick was with my mustang which i got 5 months ago. I have only being driving stick for 5 months not like years like a lot of other people. I had only raced on the street like twice and it was my first time at the track ever. I don't think we need to trash talk here, why can't we just help like the awesome guys that are trying to help me. Instead of saying that their driving sucks, why don't you help them out instead of being such a lazy bitch and trash talking. Thanks to all the cool people on this board.

I got $20 says I can. Seen it MANY times, I weigh 140lbs..

Guaranteed it would happen.

In a word, "yes", I can drive.

Aaron has seen it, 2.0x ALL DAY LONG on 245 street tires and 375rwhp, and then a 1.95.

Stock gt's = Much less rwhp, easier to launch. Derek went 13.84 down to the paper filter, and at SEARS POINT! I know guys who've done it, ask around on this board, just about EVERYONE in a 99+ gt is turning 2.15+ on t heir 60's...those don't make 13 sec. runs.

Cut 2.05 or so, or better, and you're there with some quick shifting.

Sacramento Raceway: 2.18 60-foot 13.9/99.X
Sears Point: 2.07 60-foot 13.8/99.X

This isnt a sub-13 run (14.1; below 14.2 ), but then again this was the second time EVER down the track with this car. 60-foot was a crappy high 2.2/low 2.3.
http://home.pacbell.net/black306/mycars/files/2000/sears01.mpg

Stone stock 2000 GT 5-speed (yes, down to the tires). (OK, I had Motorsport C springs. Probably hurt more than helped.)

Derek I just want to say how much I love you 5.0 it is flawless perfect 10
 
Posted by shade-tree ghetto racer (Member # 298) on :
 
That's all well and good. My $20 bet stands. How many attempts do you want? I think 2 would be fair.

Thanks for the compliment.

Keyword: cant

Cant implies it is not possible no matter how many attempts. Been there, done that, have the time slips to prove it, and witnesses. Of course I would do it again, but Im not 100% stock anymore. Throw me the keys to a bone stock '99+ GT 5-speed and I'll put it into the 13's. (Assuming nothing is wrong with it and there is good weather. )

you realize you cut out the key word 'You' when you paraphrased me? And in the context of a reply from one person to another? Put the word 'You' back into my statement and you restore the complete sentence.

Key words:
pay attention
I was not talking to you, about you, or anything other than exactly what I posted.

I don't think Blown93snake is half as fast as he thinks he is. I'll put $20 on that for this bet in a heartbeat!

It's not my fault you obviously can't drive, hence the 19sec. 1/4 time in your sig.

I've driven other peoples cars, and gotten them to much quicker ET's than the owner.

Derek did it, Cloud9 did it, Mt Groove on MW did it, RatCat on MW did it, and many others have. I'll do it as well.

Maybe it's YOU that needs to hit the track more often. Take a look around, EVERY 99+ gt out there is running 2.2+ short times, OF COURSE they're gonna run in the 14's, do you expect them not too? 99-100 mph is easily enough for a new gt to hit 13's, just takes a good short time, if you don't think 2.0 is possible in a new gt, you seriously need to do some research.

This was never about "what is or is not humanly possible". This is about you being able to hit a 13.80 in a completely stock '99+ GT.

So when do I get my $20?
double or nothing? How many passes do you think you need? If you don't hit a 13.80 will it be because your clutch is wasted?

Alright who has a bone stock Gt so we can loan it to blown93, I gotta see this

Isn't it a damn shame you can't go to Hertz and rent a 5-speed GT?

hey black306 wassup thinks for the cobra bumper info whoa you ran a 13.9xx in your 2000. i remember when we were at 3com you told me my stuff was pretty fast do you think i could hit a 13.5xx with the help of the 3.73 gears i am the black dude in the black 00 stang just like yours.

We can find a donor '99 gt.

Obviously i'm gonna do it at a TNT night, and want as many passes as possible. It takes a good feel for a car to get it down to 13.80's, just like i've already said, and 2.1x short times won't do it.

I could probably nail it in less than 10.
