Why do i keep getting my ass spanked from a 2003 automatic mustang gt with gears, stall, cold air intake, and a catback exhaust with offroad pipe??? from a 25 role he pulls my by 3-4 cars easily. wtf? wouldn't you think my car with the mods i have pull him?

 

Because you have Konig Hotswaps

 

Not even close!

We are talking 13s vs low 12s

 

first thats a horrible spot to race

second are you sure thats his mods?

third your running a canned tune with meth thats a no no

 

the tune isnt yours thats whyask alteriely54 he will tell u they stink hardcore

 

keep imature and stupid comments to yourself.

yes im sure, but the canned tune is temporary, there is no one around here that tunes cobalts. a shop in houston said they would do it, but never have before. so i rather buy zzp pcm and then bring my car there that way they have a base to start on vs. going at it not knowing, cause if it takes them awhile i dont wont to pay $175 an hour

 

makes a real big difference in mustangs. believe me. it's the first thing just about every one of us mustang guys does...and on any v8 a CAI and catback opens up the engine a lot more than they do on 4 bangers.

 

yea, evidently. haha, this is really quite irritating. i was positive that my car was going to atleast keep up with his.

 

my thoughts..

v8>4 banger.

 

i'm gonna say bad tune

 

canned tune

 

canned tune on meth, you are probably slower than stock. lol. at least that's what it sounds like. go get a real tune, then go own his ass.

 

Since when does a Mustang GT with those mods run low 12's??

Just curious.

Dunno what the problem is man, but he should not be pulling you 2-3 cars from a roll race.. Dig.. Probably with Gears and a Stall, but rolling? He doesn't get to use the hole shot so.. Unsure.

 

some of you guys really need to learn what stuff does on cars..

Gears are gears.. roll or dead stop.. **** dont matter... it still getting him through the powerband quicker.. ib 4.10 or 4.56 he has

 

I blame the tune, and the 25 roll. Go again from a 40 and watch your gap slim a bit. Get a tune as well and you should spank him.

 

I think its you i raced my friend with the same mods on a 2002 same mods but five speed he ran 14.6 in the 1/4 mile witch is really good most cant break 15's here in colorado and my mod's are in my sig. and i beat him by like 3-4 cars on a roll from 40 and from a dig i got him like 3 cars so i think its you

 

no thats not it, i drive my stick better than he drives an automatic. i do think its my tune, and i just have the stage 1 standard meth kit, so im not EXACTLY sure when my meth is spraying, so i think im spraying way to early or something....i need a really good custom tune badly!

4.10 is what he has

yea this was my theory, im so confused and irritated at the same time. all these parts and money in my SS and i cant beat a pathetic N/A 4.6 v8

 

That could be it to the gm stage 2 tune is bot the greatest either and you should be able to adjust your meth and maybe feel it spray so try and work on that but yeah i was able to beat them i havent lost to a stang yet so get it done stangs are so much fun to pull on!

 

It's the first thing I did on the 5 'Stangs that I owned.

That's because most of those cars back then were equipped by Ford with 3.08's (one even had 2.73's!).

What I noticed really made a difference was when I installed an Edelbrock Performer Intake Manifold, Headers, and Exhaust.

Seat of the pants was QUITE noticeable.

On principle, that combo should work for ANY car ...

 

Just for clarification. I wasn't saying gears had nothing to do in a roll race, I was only mentioning the difference in rolls and dig as he is stalled and rwd of course. I myself have owned mustangs and know that gears are huge in those. Bumping from factory 323's to 355, 373 or even 410's.. amazing.

He must not DD that car much putting 4:10's in an auto? Who knows..

I still think that you should definately be pulling that mustang with the modifications he has.

 

Chill out chief it was a joke

 

I'd think it's your tune...

I seriously hope so, worries me because I'm not too sure who can tune local to me and I'm going to be modding more soon. I don't believe that you should be walked that hard... if at all.

 

yea i know bro..and i have no one to tune my car here. a shop in houston said they can do it, but have never tuned a cobalt before, which makes me worry cause it could take them 3-4 hours and they charge $175 per hour....which i cant afford to pay if its gunna take a while.

 

you need to watch the you tube vid posted on here where the srt4 neon pulls hard on a 6.o GTO

 

he might have the 4.12 gears (i think thats the correct ratio) which is ungodly quick....
