Ok first off...im really inexperienced in the engine world and tuning world as many of you know. But im no amature to racing. My buddy Just got an 01' Mustang GT. You know..bug V8 with a 5-speed manual tranny. Hes got a full megna flow setup with a full cold air. Pretty loud car. Well we were at a top light and we both went for it. I took him up till my 2nd gear...and he SLOWLY pulled away as he gunned it after each shift of the mustangs heavy clutch. Well...with all thoes mods...you would figure a 3.8 V6 with a short ram would'nt have a chance? Well...dont know if any of you care abiout this story...but makes me smile thinkng about how hard Ford can try...but will never be a Pontiac.

I always wanted a Mustang, and while I'm still a fan of the 'Stang, I'm so happy I got my car instead.

ya a lot of people act suprised when im able to keep up with them or when i beat them, if i just had a supercharger i would be blowing the doors off of everybody

I would love an '03 cobra though...

But yes, I love beating mustangs all day

red light to red light its fun to race a rustang, but it sucks on the interstate, those extra pistons are hard to keep with

The mustang is cool but alot of mustang drivers are sleeping on the Grand Prix that is why I like it so much. And after seeing what can been done with enough money and time a grand prix could probably keep up and even beat a mustang.

yeah msutangs are way overated. my buddy just got done swappig a poliece v8 ( 5.0) engine out of a grand maquee into his 3.8 mustang he put a nice trany in it to.
well last night was my gfs homecoming and i was driveing my grandpas 2001 silverado 1500hd crew cab, he never got by me and its only got a magnaflow muffler and a k&n fipk intake.
its probly an 18+ second truck he only got to my rear passager door from 0- 95
and he thought his stang was gonna beat my GTP

The highway definatly makesracing harder...ESPECIALLY with a stock pcm because your choked at 105.UGH
otherwise...the Grand Prix my favorite little rocket.

Haha, I can hit 126. :p

when i was living in mississippi, the interstate speed limit was 70, anyways what im getting at is i also got to 126, i could have gone faster but i got scared

thoes stupid stock pcm's man.
they really had some dumb ideas with the GP
a u-bend? COME ON
105 limiter? COME ONNNNNNN
3.8 liter engine...hmm...ok!
the good def. out weigh the bad tho.

yo blacktop vinyl where you at in chicago? the suburbs?

dont forget the Monte's! My Z is great! my friend was shocked when i took him in his Fox body. a built 302 full exhaust, cam, IM and carb.


the best thing is all the suspension too. once the road gets twisty it still got what it takes. and no body suspects it!

As an owner of both a 03 Grand Prix and a Mustang 5.0, I will tell you the 5.0 will smoke the GP any day, anytime. Give your buddy some time to learn how to drive it, and go for it again. I bet he spun the crap out of the tires in first gear. Hopefully he has done smart mods to it, and not mods that counter each other. My 92 Convertible 5.0 with 130K, stock motor, cat back exhaust and slight gear change ran a 14.0 at 98.

Dude, I'm not dogging your car, as I own one, all I'm saying is, 99% of V-8 cars will eat your lunch.

I guess so. He has an 01 r an 02. I believe its a 4.6 liter. wither way maybe it i\IS his shifting right now...hes got a Full CAI and Flomster.
