Is this even possible?
 
First of all, hey, I'm new. :wave:

My friend has a 2001 V6 Stang auto with a posi 4.10 rear, mac dual exhaust, and bassani x pipe. he tells me he's beat some GTs out on the street, and even hung with an 05 GT...which i find to be difficult to believe. He also talks about destroying Integras all the time, but that's more believable.

What i'm really asking i guess is it possible to beat GTs with simple mods like that to a V6 auto? I'm hopefully getting a stang soon, and after hanging around his car, it seems like a V6 ain't so bad as long as you do what he's done.

yuo wouldnt belive how bad of drivers so many people are. i see tons and tons of people running mid to high 14's with an ass load of mods liek gears pulleys tune exhuast etc....

heck i seen one guy witha mach1 with a few bolt ons running 14.3 i said what do you have done he tells me and says his time i go man whats wrong hes liek what dude its fast what does your gt run. i go 13.71@101 he was like wtf what do you have h-pipe,mufflers drag radials. and he was like **** i gotta learn to drive.

Chances are the GT's he was racing diddnt realize they were racing. <laugh>

He can come against me and my GT anyday. All i have is CAI, Xpipe, and Straights, i'd be willing to throw a grand down on the race. >:)

Now if he had an 05 Mustang V6, i might believe he has beat some older GT's. For a V6 those 05's are freakin fast. ford really did it's research on them.

Hang with an 05GT? No chance in hell, unless the 05 GT driver was retarded and missing a few limbs. ;)

Sounds more like he has a V6 and wishes it was a V8 so he has to tell everyone how fast it is. He might be able to convince some people, but he will never fool himself. <rofl>

What do you mean by beating? And what year GT is he talking about? Some 96-98's can't break 15's. Then there is the issue of was it really a race, was it fair? My car is pretty slow acclerating from 5th gear at 50 mph.

For the most part, I never believe guys who like to talk alot about beating other cars on the street. Guys with fast cars, don't need to talk about it.

I had a kid trying to race me in a saturn once. After killing him, he passed me (I let him) and I am sure he proceeded to tell all his friends he beat a GT.

thats another point the 96-98 gts are slow when stock. its all they could do not to keep themsleves out of there own way.

Seriously, what the hell is the difference between a 15.6 second V-6 and a 14.8 second GT from a rolling start. The 6er gets in the right gear and in the right part of the power band, and he will take that GT at least for a bit.

I have seen plenty of stangs beat F bodies in the 1/4, but the F body had much higher trap speeds. Give him another 1/16th mile, and the chicken-hawk wins. So in a street race, the F body might walk all over the stang if they were to race from 50 mph or something like that.
