1st Time Run at Track with the 05 GT


Couple weeks back, my good buddy dragged me into going to the Track with him (literally). and see what I can do with my 05 GT and his 87 GT.

Being the typical coward that I'm normally am, I was skeptic and refused but eventually when along with it.

Arrive and made a few runs at the Track ( 1/8 mile) and my 1st run was my best of the few that I ran (which isn't saying much but still).


This is the 1st run I did is what I ran against a 2001 Mustang GT Vert. 5 spd. Intake/exhaust.

01 GT VRT

R/T - .192
60' - 2.820
330 - 7.77
1/8 - 11.269
MPH - 66.71


05 GT (Me)

R/T - .052
60' - 2.11
330' - 5.78
1/8 - 8.773
MPH - 83.18


This is my 1st time ever at the Track, do you guys think that with the mods that I have listed, that my car is running about what its normal or slower for what has been done, even with the horrible R/T & 60"?

This is also on crappy street tires as well, which I already know DRs is the solution in this case, but I want to know what you guys think for a 1st timer and what I can improve on. thanks you guys.

Yeah, the 1/8 mile track here, which is closest to me (15 mins) is definitely not the best prep track we have so cars aren't hooking like they should.

And I was wheel hopping at the start and spinning all the way into 2nd, as for the guy in the 01 GT, I really have no Idea what was up with him, as his car sure sounded louder than mine but I guess he couldn't shift, I didn't see him run anymore after I race him.

I'm just wondering if my Times are normal for whats done for my car, I would really like to land a 8.4 - 8.5 ET hopefully.
