I figured the convert mustang was in excess of 3500 lbs

just a guess

3,613 according to motortrend. A lot heavier than I thought.

I'm thinking a coupe would rock me though, considering I'm still incompetent at launches.

Have any of you raced a new gt or are you just bench racing with supposed numbers? Anyone remember the 99 cobra that had 320 stated hp but when called out on it ford admited that it overstated hp levels(not saying thats the case here but it has happend in the past). I raced a new gt coupe auto from a 50-155 when i was all stock. I admit i jumped him but i pulled him by a car and kept it till my car topped out(speedo said 155) and he crept back up on me pulling me by half a car when we shut it down, and we were doing over 150 for at least a full minute. Talk what you want but until you run one dont run your mouth about how it cant happen.

But just to keep things fair not too long after that i did run a new manual coupe with bolt ons that walked me pretty hard when i was stock.

The GT is just as fast as the S. Slight edge to the GT, but it's pretty even. If the GT gets an intake and a tune, it's no longer a race.

My friend David with a 2002 WRX with a turbo cat back and no tune beat a 05 Mustang GT by a car and half up to 110. And at the track, the guy in the GT ran a 14.00 flat.

Not too worry... SVT learned from their mistake and made sure that the Cobras after that one didn't have that power deficency.. the 01 Cobra made the rated 320 hp, and we all know about 03/04 Cobra... (if you don't go race one)

05-08 mustang GT is definitely faster than any stock S2000. You shouldn't really debate this. The vert is ~150lbs heavier which makes for a much better race.

You are too funny... I have raced an 04 supercharged mustang(550whp) while i was boosted. Did i lose... yes. Was it ugly... yes. What does any of this have to do with racing a stock gt. I only brought up the 99 cobra because Ford specficly overstated hp. Did i say that this may not be the case in the new ones... YES. Honestly if i didnt know my mustangs i OBVIOUSLY wouldnt have known about the power diffrence in the 99 cobravs the rest of the years. Or that they didnt make a cobra in MY00. DID i bring in the 03-04 SUPERCHARGED cobras? Or 01-04 non supercharged cobras (03-04 being refered to as the mach 1) NO.

FYI: Im not a rice or honda fan boy, i know you didnt say i was but i feel like you are talking to me as such. I have owned two mustangs (88 GT vert, 94 GT) and tried to buy an 03 cobra but the dealer wouldnt come off the price of it or give me anything near trade in value of the car i was trading(which just so happend to be my s2000). I appreciate domestics for their raw power just as much as i do the imports for their precision handling(read my sig).

I ran my gf's 06 v6 stang lol. She wouldnt believe me when I told her i would win. She found out the other day. I know its not a v8, but it was pretty funny nontheless
