I raced a Brand new mustang GT today.. the special version with the bigger then normal hood scoop.. we were doing a 40mph roll and then we hit it. at the end of the race i won by two car lengths at about 95mph.. now was that a real win or did he not know how to drive???

 

moved to war stories section.

 

What special version are you taking about because if it was a Shelby or a Roush or something like that then he should of been able to rape you if he could drive worth a **** but who knows there are pleanty of divers with able cars that cant drive to save their lives.

 

this prolly sounds like a newbie question but if u tell me how to post pics i can tell u wut it looked like

 

the bigger than normal hood scoop? well the hood scoop is an option, and there is only one size....unless you are talking a roush or something. roush stage one only has appearance and i think some suspension stuff so it could be that....stage 2 or 3 would dominate the hell out of you and the saleens would just own you too, so are you sure it wasn't the optional stock hood scoop?

 

this is the exact car

 

I dunno I've seen a few mustang GT's around town with hood scoops that are larger than the rest, so I know what he's talking about, unless its just a popular aftermarket hood.
*edit: after seeing the pic it looks like the normal hoodscoop...

 

hmm from what Ive read, a GT shouldve been even if come out by a car. Good kill nonetheless!

 

that is the optional stock hood scoop.

well it depends... could have been an auto, could have been a bad driver. the gt with EQUAL drivers should come out on top with a stick and be right about even maybe a bit ahead with an auto, but it's close enough to make driver critical from a roll.

 

thx on the kill but i think i shouldve been killed but ill take it

 

lol i had to see that pic...i thought you said you were talkin bout one the the new shelby 500s lol....and theres no way you coulda beat that.
but good kill on this one

 

LOL, the gt500 doesn't have a hood scoop, it has the vents ya know kinda like an evo does... that would be like 30 lengths out in front LOL.

 

bad driver? i would say yes but awesome kill

 

yah thats the optional performance package with the 07 gt stangs...is still the 300hp engine though..good kill, but from a dig those things own are asses..good kill though

 

My uncle has the almost exact car except it has flat black raceing stripes on the side and its a 427R Roush Charged.

 

stangs aren't very strong from a roll. their strong point is from a dig where all that torque actually helps. nice kill

 

I played with more than a few S197 Mustang GT's in my SS/SC both while stock and Stage 2.

When stock I would get killed from a dig, from a roll it was a close race. With Stage 2 it was close from a dig and from a roll I would have 3-4 cars by 100mph.

In stock form the SOHC 4.6 be it a 1999 or 2007 has a very weak top end.

 

i kinda like the look of that car that you beat.

 

Looks like a GT/CS... anyways... stock the new 'stang is putting roughly 270 to the wheels... if you got a jump on the driver and if it was an automatic I can definately see you winning... those things are heavy huge pigs. Off the line they're fast... but going from a roll is our strength.

 

I'm surprised that some Mustang owner hasn't trolled on here yet.
They would **** a brick by someone claiming a Cobalt SS/SC beat their precious car

Good race though. I would attribute your win to that driver sucking ***** more than the cobalt being better though.

 

it sounds like the "california special" noted with a c/s on the side a hood scoop and some decals.. that sound about right?

damn, you answered it before me. but at least in mine i stated what c/s means.

i think you should have too... they are no pigs unlike what that one guy said:
2005 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L V8 5.1 13.5 (MT Jan '05)
2005 Ford Mustang GT Convertible 5.2 13.8 (MT Apr '05)

2005 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Supercharged, 6.1 14.4 (MT Dec '05)

 

Yeah there are 2 mustangs exactly like that around here. Haven't had the chance to race either of them but I'd probably beat both. I beat an 06 GT at the track last year and boy was he pissed. He didn't even pick his slip up and just left the track lol

 

yeah but you aren't stock.

 

He didn't know that

 

Mustang owner to the rescue. lol Whats up guys joined along time ago and then kinda forgot about this site.


The car you raced was a GT/CS as some one already posted. Nothing real special about them, apperance pkg. and special interior. An 05+ GT is good for mid-high 13s. Good run none the less.
