didnt know these things were fast.. haha. was trying to keep up with one but could not.... damn turbos.. haha.. then i just saw it at some site they do high 13s stock..so no wonder...i dont feel so bad anymore..same thing with a early 90s 5.0 stang ..with wide ass tires in the back.. could not keep up..hahah..

Another race was on the weekend .. raced a acura 1.6el with a H22A swap..he got headers/exhaust/intake/jdm ecu... i thought i was gonna lose..but surprisingly i won.. from 1-2 is about even he was at my door.. by beginning of third i started pulling.. slowly by surely..shut it down after 140-150kmh..was a friend of a friend..so it was allll good.. nice car he had tho.. be has BLITZ rims..
but gotta admit this automatic shit is starting to get to me.. i hate the delay when u go WOT. wish i had the 6spd...

 

Dodge stealth R/T turbo are basically the samething as Mitsu 3000gt Vr4 and yes they are fast..

 

somethins wrong if you can't smoke a early 90's pony! 225hp stock. they run 15.7- 15.8. modded mid to high 14's. modded and blown mid 13's. used to own one

 

Not true!!! With the 5.0 you never know what you are getting. It could be a 15 second POS or it could be a 11 second street rocket.

 

yah it is mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 but not exactly the same as dodge does not have many technology that VR4 has

 

exactly.. im sure this guy is in the 13s... y u think he had the fat ass rear tires....for show..?. i didnt think so.. and i am confident in my driving capabilities..

 

tell me about your 5.0 that was only a 15.7 sec car, an auto vert maybe?

stock lx 5.0 5spd were high 14sec cars in the hands of car magazines.

running high octane, advancing the timing, a timing gun, and a wrench is all you need for this, removing the silencer and you're deep into the 14s, assuming you could drive of course.

any self respecing 5.0 out there, with simply k&n filter, a little timing dialed in and a cat back or just mufflers (we all know they have exahausts on them) should be running a 14.5 or better in even an average driver's hands.

There's plenty at the track every time i've ever been there, they're easy to launch and have great off the line power, however in stock trim they run out of breathing up top pretty quick, maybe that's why them came with 85 mph speedos! the early years of course.

that lightweight notch can really fly, and a GT is just a few ticks back.

Riiiiight... Can someone page PullT???

 

exactly... i dont think any stang V8s are slow......somethins wrong with u if u ran mid 13s with a blown stang...haha.

 

VERY true. My first new car was an 87 LX 5.0 5-speed and I got a 14.4 out of it doing those exact things. The only really weak Stangs are the 4.6 GT's from 96-98, I'd be surprised if they could hit 14's stock.....I've never seen one do it. The modded ones I've seen run are high-14's.

Later,

 

raced a young kid from a roll in a fox body 5.0 last week a couple days before my car took a bath...it had bike tires up front so i figured i was gonna take a beating...we were at 40 in second...he gets a jump and pulls alittle but by the end of second i i started coming back by the end of third i went by him...he was cool gave me the thumbs up as i slowly went by...i shut it down ...this was isolated road but 115 is a bit much on the streets anywhere...i expected more...you know with those skinny tires up front...maybe he sprays but was out....the truth is though any stang...you just about never know...just be willing to take your lumps and there's some fun to be had for all....

 

man talk about stealth...thought it was a dodge turned out to be a stang 5.0
