Just curious how a 14.9 walks a Mustang GT??

walking a mustang.... running 14.9 hrm... the slowest mustangs were still in at around 15.2, and they'd walk you anyways in speed.

Most of the Fox body Mustangs were all over the 15's. (lower trap speed too) Tack 10-17 years on the engines and see how well they run.
I see them all the time when I am at the track. Some of them are not pretty.
I've seen some with tons of mods barely hit mid 14's. (okay so our local track sucks but still!)
So badly walking a Mustang. Probably not, but beating them is easily possible.
Also remember 3 tenths of a second (your 14.9 to 15.2 comparisson) is 4-5 car lengths. That's not really close.
Then considering where we make most of our time is on the top end. So you really could be walking the opponent pretty badly.
I've raced against several opponents that had nearly a half second on me at half tack and I nearly caught them!  (A few I have even  )
They may be quicker, but I am faster. heheh...

Alright dude? so you beat a couple slow-ass GT??s. I wouldn??t go around making the statement ??i can walk a mustang gt? because most of the time heads-up you WILL get slapped. A 14.9 is the low-bar for a GT, it??s the high-bar for you.
How many Hondas can say ??I beat a SVT Contour?. Probably lots, 70% of the contours at the track run 16??s? that??s fair game for rice.

You must have a sad Mustang scene in KC. In Georgia most 5.0??s are running low 13??s to high 11??s all motor? The nitrous guys run 10??s and 11??s. A 15 second guy is basically laughed off the track. Even running low-low 14??s and high 13??s? my stang is considered slow.

What do you trap at? My stang traps over 100 on street tires? unless you trap over 101-102 you ain??t running me down and my car is slow. So really? congrats on beating slow, sad, old GT??s. I??m sure your daddy is proud 
I know? I know? you??ll kill when the road gets twisty. I??ll be having too much fun drifting to care.

demon i usually agree with you most of the time...but as far as stock fox body mustangs running 15's not hardly...i used to be very much into the stang scene,and can tell you from experience that this is NOT true....my first fox stang was a '84 mercury capri(same just diff grill and taillights)...automatic carburated and it ran 15.2...yeah it was a 15 but it was also 3 years behind the real 87-93 fox stangs...my second was an '88 gt also an auto i didn't run it at the track before i added a set of flowmasters(w/ off road h pipe)and it ran 14.8(although it did have optional,but still factory installed 3.55 gears)...
my ex wife purchased our next fox body(she loved mine so much)a '93 gt 5 speed...it was stock except for(flowmasters,and h pipe,drop in k+n w/removed silencer,and 3.73 gears)with HER driving(damn that woman could drive a stick)it ran a traction limited(spinning the street tires through 2nd) 14.0 and a 13.99(and also numerous other 14 second times(mostly low 14's)....
i also purchased a '93 lx 5 speed...it ran 14.7 totally bone stock(2.73 gears)after the addition of the same mods as the ex wife's gt also ran low 14's and high 13's...it now runs 12's without a blower or nitrous...
and when i was heavy into the stang scene most stock and lightly modded stangs ran 14's and 13's all day long...and in road and track(which doesn't exactly always get the best #'s out of cars)a 1990 lx 5.0 ran 0-60 in 6 seconds flat and a 14.6@97 mph in the 1/4....hardly a 15 csecond car...

I've run 14.6 and I have my interior.
What does that get me? At least a cookie I hope...
...and chris...
Well then our local track must be even worse than I thought (which can't be possible - can it???)
Makes me feel even better about my times then...

I am proud of you ...my car is so slow i could never beat a mustang GT...even if i had 75 shot. GT mtx's aren't sissy cars...Automatic GT's are though. My friends 2002 MTX cavalier stayed even with one all the way to 60...Thats sad. It sounds like a BS story but i was there to whitness it.
