You know I come across a quite a few Mustang owners that think like you and they all lost ,you're driving a stock GT with maybe 165whp have you even driven a boosted GP ?FYI my pb before going boosted was 13.94@99mph and with no2 12.92@112mph .Chico(pops)

Are you talking stock for stock 72chevman, or are you talking something else? I find over on clubgp, that the GPs are eating V8 lunches all day long!

ilgpc.com

we have meets every once and awhile. local help is always great tho, we have great installers along with wbodystore.com which is based in Arlington Heights.

your pretty much in the middle of the majority of the members. so if you buy something from the classifieds you can pick it up instead of shipping. its a great site, i would highly suggest joining up

thanks buker boy. I joi ned just now. Looking over the site it looks pretty sweet. IM glad i finally found a local chapter!
Thanks again.

heck when i was at the track ... i had a 5.0 mustang off the line ... yes it being my gt he won but still if i still had a mustang for about the first 60 ft easy .... not a huge fan of the mustangs ....

Muscletang.... still going five point slow as my friend says

ive heard A LOT of modded GTP's kicken mustang GT butt

Let me put it this way:

(Note: in the second race, the Mustang is clearly pulling ahead before the third honk, and yet the GTP still matched him after a moment)

Grand Prix FTMFW!!

I smoked a 1997 Mustang Gt with my stock 2002 Grand Prix Gt. Nuff said...

As the previous owner of a 2003 GT with 3.79 gears and full Mac exhaust, I can tell you that unless the person doesn't know how to shift the mustang, its going to be quite hard to beat one no matter what pully you got in it...not saying GPs suck by any measure, I love mine!, its just hard to compare the two performance wise unless the GP has a lot of engine mods.

Thanks Chunkee for having my back. It is my experience that the average Mustang driver (18-25) 1. Can not afford good tires 2. Has not learned to launch and drive correctly 3. Thinks that spinning and smoking tires is cool. I learned how to launch my chevelle and mustang to where my tires hardly spin off the line and then chirp here and there at the top of 1st and then chirp again as I hit 2nd gear.

As for what 20GTP02 asked. My comment is, who is going to post "my GT or GTP got beat by a Mustang"?
In my years at the race track I noticed one particular trend. A better driver trumps a better car, and a better set up car makes a beter driver. Automatics make a better more consistent car.

As for Bill Bradley, my 110K mile stock 302 with mufflers and short throw shifter, smoked a new 2004 Monte SS non S\C (wife's car with exhaust, CAI, PCM) and a co-worker Josh's 03 Monte SS S\C with exhaust. I barely pulled on a stock 2005 Grand Prix GXP (Cliff's) with the 5.3l V-8
But again, this post will go on forever, ever car is different and so are road and track conditions.

I'm not gonna lie...i hate fords...mustangs are the best thing that ford did...but still not a huge fan. a guy in one of my classes is selling an 89 5.0 gt 5 speed stang. I've ACTUALLY considered buying it(selling price of $500) thought about it so much my head hurts. Stock 5.0 only put out like 220 horses. The only up side i've seen to buying it is two more cyclinders, a 5 speed, and RWD. plus i figure i could put 1500 into it and sell it to some mustang crazy kid for 4 or 5 grand...lol

I am very ashamed of admitting this to everyone...

But just to put in my .02, there are way to many variables to consider when comparing two cars. Some guys GP might beat a few mustangs up, and then one dudes mustang could eat some gp's up. theres just so much to consider...i don't even wanna try and compare. BUT as far as looks go...GP ALL THE WAY!!! lol

not trying to bash anyone, but i think mustangs are overpriced pieces of $h!t. whether they are faster than gp's or not i dont care. i just don't like them. but some do and thats fine.

this is a never ending battle......1/4 mile gp and stang are pretty close depending on mods....but top end, those extra cylinders will take command, its mainley how well the driver can shift, ive lost some and won some when it comes to that, most of my losses where on the interstate.

Hey, it is cool...it's just not good for racing.

I have had both, I still have the GP......
