Now I didnt say that. But I would have also said a 97-98 mustang GT or cobra if thats what I had raced. And besides I am not that crazy to post something up saying that I killed a gt knowing damn well I am gonna be the one gettin killed.

I would completely disagree, besides I have no traction problems in 2-6th gear only 1st stage Vtec in 1st gear. So I can launch nearly as well as a RWD mustang (maybe 1-2 tenths higher 60ft). FYI I just got a chance to run a 05 gt 5spd with exhuast and tune today. We both had passengers. I got him the 1st time becuase he was so freaked out by the fact that I pulled on him he missed 2nd. The next two times (one of which was from a dig) he consistantly pulled 2 cars by 90. We stopped and talked, which is when I found out that he had a tune.
