Pretty even. I think he might have started to pull if he hadn't missed 4th. Then again, i had my heavy *** 20s and a passenger.

Well done!
I love seeing Mustangs hanging with GTOs. There's a guy I see about once a week with a GTO and occassionally we'll wind up at a stoplight together. I'll hold him off for a few seconds but if there's enough road he'll pull away every time.

Looks like he had his windows down. Guess he knows nothing about aerodynamics.

Don't forget, the Mustang without heavy additions and some weight losing mods weighs in 280lbs lighter than the GTO, so that's a penalty of about 38-40flywheel HP to the GTO, so a 360 HP flywheel Mustang would basically equal the late model GTO, and handle better as well. Erik

Nice video.

You can mod a Mustang to beat a GTO easily, but you'll never be able to modify a GTO to be better looking than a Mustang.

Nice run! And they gave me a load of crap when I told them I held off a 6L goat over on mustangforums. After listing my weight reduction and mods (longtube headers, off-road pipe, straight exhaust (M-80's), C&L Racer intake with 9''filter, 17 lb. one-piece driveshaft, Bama race tune) they started to listen.

I'm thinking that was probably a modded 04' GTO you ran. It didn't look stock (at least on the outside). I'm guessing at least some kind of intake/exhaust mods...?

The goat had kooks LT, catted mid, and Magnamufflers according to the comments. Probably a CAI and tune too, with those kind of mids. LT's aren't cheap, and a PITA to install, so anywone going to that trouble surelly has done a CAI and tune since that is so easy and great gains for the money. Goat sounded good! Is that 4th gear always hard to hit in those cars?

Nice job!

Here's my brother in his '06 GTO chasing me on a road course (sorry, his video cam was a little out of focus). The GTO's are a nice car, but their weight and inability to run wide tires without major modification kills them.

Yep tell me about it 255 tires and 400 ft lb do not mix well. My LS2 GTO looked like a **** LT1 Camaro time wise the other night at the track. Glad I got the Camaro for the 1/4.
