Mustang GT???

[1slowdsm]

So there is this guy at my school who drives an '02 Mustang GT. If some of you guys remember, it was the guy who has all the SVT badgings over the GT badgings. But anywho...I'm just wondering how quick would one of those Mustangs be? Its an automatic also...it looks nice, but the kid is being cocky about his car. Its all stock, but a nice hood and front bumber. He was talking about how he'd be able to waste me...since I only have a 4 cylinder. I'm just wondering how quick those Mustangs are. I've raced a Mustang Bullitt at the track, but I dont know if the GT or the Bullitt is quicker. My car isnt all that quick either, but I think I'd give him a really good run. I'm just waiting to talk to him again sometime and see if he wants to race. I'm still going for the quickest car at school and there's only a GT and an early 80's Firebird keeping me from reaching the goal...haha. Oh yeah, if RedStal95 reads this...he should be of a lot of help since he's into the Mustang.

If he's a stock auto GT he probably runs low15's at best.
Stockish DSM AWD > Stockish Rustang GT

Mustangs are slow. Make sure before you beat him, you remind him that your car has 1/5 the total displacement of his car.

1/5th??? if 1slowdsm has a 2.0 then that would mean the mustang would have a 10.0 liter. LOL

[1slowdsm]

I'll just say I have a 4 banger with 1/2 his displacement. I just did some research and they're rated at a low 14 stock. He isnt a professional, so I think I can take him from a dead stop. But on the highway, my car isnt all that quick. The awd doesnt help with my 3rd gear downshifts. I've beated my friend with a '91 Camaro 5.0 V8...he was talking about wasting me also. These people at my school dont know much about cars...except that its a V8 5.0 liter compared to my 4 cylinder 2.0 liter. Oh yeah, my friend with a new Pontiac Grand Am or Prix V6 says he'll beat me too...since he has more horse than I do...haha. It pisses me off sometimes, but I dont mind. I'll just race them and see what happens.

umm, 02 stangs w/ autos can run low 14's stock. Not sure where you are getting 15 seconds from.

I'm a stang guy also, I would find it hard to believe if he could run faster than 14.5 with that auto.

[1slowdsm]

I was thinking the same thing too...hehe.

[SpicyOrange]

Ohh yeah and 02's don't have 5.0's they have 4.6's

Haha..I totally forgot about that, too. Hmm...I'm just curious. Would a '96 or '95 GT be quicker than a '02 GT? I work with a guy who's got a '96 or '95 GT and I've only sort of raced him. Didnt really got at it until he was like 5 cars away then I decided to go at it...only time I raced him was the only time I wasnt thinking!

Good point, my bad.

I'm dumb... ignore me.

Well I know a 96 gt is a pooch, I think those were the slowest of the modern Gt's. The 95 is still the 5.0 (last year) I bet both of these years have trouble gettin in to the 14's bone stock.

Maybe powerbraking the stock torqueconverter to death and slapping on some DRs

Do you know someone who has run a low 14 in their 02 GT? Because if you do thats cool. I'm just going by what I've seen at the tracks. My buddies Cobra (Not an 03) only runs 13.6s and its slightly modded and deffinetly not an auto .

[A//// Guy]

Its 2.0 liters per all cylinders... not each cylinder, so therefore, total displacement is a little under half of a V8 4.6...

Tom, your logic fails once again. Overall displacement... If we were talking 5.0 liters... it's per cylinder. 5 liters x 8 cylinders= 40. 2 liters x 4 cylinders = 8. 8/40 = 1/5.

You said "overall displacement", not "individual cylinder displacement multiplied by number of cylinders". And each cylinder is not 5 liters or even 2 liters, that's the total displacement. I've never agreed with Tom til now.

[SuperSleeper]

Well then I have been misinformed for some time.

[1slowdsm]

Supposely the GT has a few less horses than a Bullitt and there was this Bullitt that ran 14.1 at the track the last time I was there. I dont know is that was one of his good runs or not. Then there was this yellow GT that ran 13.9 and I dont know if that one was stock either, I only talked to him for like 30 seconds.

I raced an 02' Auto GT Mustang and lost by about 6 inches, and I had Joe H (Rollin Joe), a sub box, and the sunroof open. This guy was a tool box. I run 15.0@93. My ex girlfriend had an 02 V6, and it ran high 15's, low 16's.

My uncle Fred in California has a black Bullitt. The thing is good for mid to low 13's with light modding (basic bolt on's).

well well well, lets talk about this i have beat every mustang but a cobra that is stock,
if this kid thinks that he is going to beat you he is wrong tell him to race about a block your all wheel drive will take him off the line and you will beat him easy.

i have seen 02 mustang gt (stock) auto's run from 15.4-14.8 at rock falls and 02 gt 5 speeds run 15.0-14.6

give it a try if he beats you put on some parts and then beat the shit out of him..
