Once again the 3V amazes me
Got a buddy who has an 04 GT with lt's, cai, tuned, gears, and we made a run last night. And I was amazed that I pulled him. And I only have a jlt tuned by Doug, Bassani's, and BMR control arms.

I'm sure he meant crank hp. With 260 stock, 20-30hp increase would be about normal for those mods on that car. the cai/tunes did not do as much on the older stangs as the 05+ models.

Kick A$$!!!
I am amazed every time I go racing. This little sucker kicks. 12.61 @ 108 NA with very little bolt on stuff is totally amazing! Rock on!

Yeah these new ones can definitely hold their own against the last gen even when modded. I raced one of my brother's friend in an 02GT with an intake plenum, CAI, custom tune, low-ratio gears (couldn't tell you what the ratio is), line locks, auto trans shift kit, underdrive pulleys, and performance exhaust (don't know weather is was full or just cat-back), and 275-width Mickey Thompson performance tires (very sticky like pencil eraser). All I had were worn out Pirellis, my Granatelli CAI and CR's 93 Race tune. He definitely got me off the line and through 1st gear, I caught up and kept pace though 2nd, but in 3rd I finally pulled ahead (more top end I guess) and by 4th or 120mph I was 2 car lengths ahead and then the race was over. This was the only time I've ever had a real race (with a more or less equal car on either side of the performance spectrum) and I was pleasantly surprised with what I could do against a heavily modded car like that.
