Can i beat him

03red-gtvert · October 16th, 2007, 04:20 AM

Ok my friend has a 05 gt 5 speed with cai, hurst shifter, full catback, lowering springs, and predator chip. I have an 03 gt vert 5 speed with K&N intake no mufflers for now and im getting 4.10 gears PRO 5.0 shifter and full catback exhaust. what are my chances of taking him ive driven his car and it is diffenitly faster than mine right now. How well I stack up after my mods are put in. He usually beats me but not by much.

You'll get him from a jump with the 4.10s, but the fact that his car is tuned may help him out a good amount. I think he will take you on the top end, but you will win from 1st through 3rd.

jivepepper · October 16th, 2007, 05:41 AM

He will when.

05GT stock numbers:

curb weight - 3480 lbs.
hp - 300
tq - 320

03GT stock numbers:

curb weight - 3280 lbs.
hp - 260
tq - 302

The 05 mentioned with those mods is probably putting out around 330 - 340 flywheel horse.

You're probably putting out around 270 -280 with the mods you listed, including what you're adding. The gears will certainly help.

If he's not beating you by much, chances are he's not driving the car as well as it can be driven, because it's a faster car, although I'm not saying he should kill you. But he should be beating you fairly well.

You should also think about getting a nice custom tune for your car. That would close the gap a lot.

04GTAMPA · October 16th, 2007, 11:00 AM

No tune, no chance. Need gears, a tune and better breathing or he'll take you past 3rd.

Verts weigh more than hardtops.

TheUNZippee! · October 16th, 2007, 11:11 AM

Yes they do. About 150 - 200 lbs. more.

the real shocker · October 16th, 2007, 11:22 AM

my tuner told me those cars with good flowing exhaust and a tune would be whole new cars....

not looking good in your favor

and also, my friend has an 07 GT.... his came with 3.55's... so he might be ahead of you there too

TheUNZippee! · October 16th, 2007, 11:27 AM

Dude, real shocker, your car is sharp man.

i agree... just dont have the means to plug/paint the holes

KhaosGT · October 16th, 2007, 11:38 AM

i have ran against a 05 gt with my current mods and he pulled on me in third

TheUNZippee! · October 16th, 2007, 11:43 AM

I gotta stop hanging out in this section. It makes me wanna buy a New Edge as well & have both styles, but I can barely afford the Stang I have now. lol

04GTAMPA · October 16th, 2007, 11:45 AM

prob cause of that hypertech you have going on.... and no gears? ^^

xx9gt6xx · October 16th, 2007, 01:57 PM

Yeah he'll beat you pretty good...

And trust me, DON'T GO 4:10's W/ A 2V!!

Unless you're putting down some serious power, 4:10's are garbage in these cars. I had both 4:10's and 3:73's in my GT and there was no 3rd gear w/ the 4:10's; it would just wind out and not move. With the 3:73's it would wind out and move in 3rd. I raced another car exactly like mine besides the fact he had 4:10's and I had 3:73's (equal drivers & tires too BTW) and pulled a car and a half on him from 1st until half way into 3rd. Take it from someone who has experienced both sides of the spectrum, go 3:73's w/ your GT and you'll be very pleased...
