Buying a GT .. need help!

Crown Clown · November 7th, 2009, 01:44 PM

Hey everyone i'm new to the forums. Im gonna buy a GT Premium mustang 2010 V8 315 Horsepower Automatic Transmission. But i have some questions before I buy it!

My friends (370z Sport Touring STOCK) and a BMW M6 V10 500 something HP STOCK are bugging me about my car being slower then theirs.

I love this car and its the only car i actually want unless i have 200k+ to spend

I have a few questions.

Someone told me STOCK I can't beat them at all. BUT If i get the Stage 2 Kenne Bell 2.6H kit along with torque converter in the 2500 rpm range I should annihilate them in a drag race in the street. Is this true?

also.. whats a good torque converter for 2.5k RPM range.. he didnt tell me what kind of converter to get..

thank you for all your help.

First off welcome.

Second off, I dont mean to come off as a complete dick, but if you are not going to buy a car just because it wont beat someone else's car, then you my friend need to re-evaluate the reason you are buying a car in the first place.

I cant speak to numbers or drag times with the car mentioned on a KB, but either way you slice it, you should be buying a car you want, and if it is a mustang, all the better. Buy it for it, not for what your friends say it can or cant do.

Agreed. Their will always be a better car out there than what you buy. I also second the notion of waiting until next year and getting the 5.0 V8

yeah wait till the 2011's come out the v6 has (correct me if if wrong) 310hp and i believe the gt is 415 but again not 100% sure.

yea dude you need to wait till may. I think that's when the 5.0 412 hp mustang gt's are coming out. You'll thank us later...

What can I say?

But look. Somebody is ALWAYS going to have a faster car and honestly, who the fuck cares. Like my first statement. It's like measuring dicks man. It'll only boost your ego, but what does an ego get you? Nothing.
