dont worry man im in the same predicament. i got an ss/sc with a stage 2 and air box mod. a guy at my work has an 07 mustang gt stock and said he would stomp me wit no problem. i was like aight lets throw 100 down and he was like nah. i called bs on him and said he aint nothing but a **** talker. i think i got him but i know that its going to be close.

ya let me know what happens whip his ass=) u got the driver mod over him though right?

ridemlow03

driver mod?? dont know what you mean by that. if you mean driving skills i couldnt tell you. i never seen him driving but i know im only about 50 hp behind but about 500-600 lbs lighter. also those cars have no damn traction. my boy is actually setting me up with a new gt that has exhaust but i told him that i aint racing until i get better mounts. but imma get better mounts all around, traction bars and torque dampener before i do it. i just dont feel like braking anything with all this wheel hop.

Now I'm new to the cobalt world, but mustangs have been my arch enemy for awhile. New GT's from what I've seen at the track run mid 13's to high 13's depending on the driver. 3.55 gears arent drag gears by any means, more high way (keep in mind Z28's typically had 3.42's stock). Now from what I've seen, some bolt ons and a stage 2 you can run a high 13. I think it's possible depending on the drivers to hang with him, though beating him would be tough. Best bet would be a slow roll around 5 mph, high speeds favor him and from a drag favor him.

3.55 gears are more ment for the track more then anything. quicker acceleration on the highway at high speeds it will get its ass kicked they lose top end with that gear ration 4.11and 3.73 gears are even worst i had 3.73s in my old mustang gt and i had to learn how to drive it all over again BIG difference .5 second difference in the 1/4 mile

all depends on the motor, your cam and what tranny you have, my ls1 is geared 4.11 in the rear and still kicks ass above 100 MPH. I havent run out of gear yet but then again I dont mess around above 140

ya u should cause this kid is 1 cocky son of a bitch

silverbulletss

just never know what would happen.....gt's are quick but i know from experience the ss has a lot of top end speed!! might be able to get past him....who knows

SS BEEOTCH

Well run him...and when he sees that he has twice the motor you have and you still hung with him, that will just make him look bad.... even though he won.

haha, it doesn't take alot man, teh new GT'S are slow as ****. they are soo damn heavy its like driving a damn boat. if you get your power to the ground, you will hang with him
