Had fun with a couple of mustangs this afternoon

[oldguysrt10]

First was a new GT. He came up behind me at a light reving while the light was red. When it changed he switched to the left lane and punched it as I did. I actually jumped him a bit and continued to put some distance on him until I let off at 80mph. I took a curve onto the feeder road. He went straight. His passenger gave me the thumbs-up. I can't say whether he was giving it all he had or not but it was fun anyway.

Second I met my next door neighbor about 3 miles from my house on an farm road. He slammed on the brakes, turned around, and fell in behind me. I let off and speed dropped to about 55. When he closed the gap I punched it and ran up to 115. I also didn't know if he was giving it full throttle until we got home. He said I hurt his feelings because when I accelerated I was steady pulling away and there was nothing he could do but watch. His is an older generation 4.6L DOHC convertible with CAI, headers and exhaust, and a dyno tune.

All in all it was fun and I'm enjoying my truck.

I don't know what best times are with the new GT Mustang. Seems stock they're running 13.8s and HRP versus my 13.3 a couple of weeks back, so maybe what I saw with the new GT tonight was real.

Enjoy.......................

Got a short story I hope I dont bore you with.
About 9 years ago, I was in my GMC (the one I still have in the picture below) and came up behind a reportedly fast Mustang GT in Chattanooga. When the light turned green, we both nailed it. After about 5 seconds, I thought something's wrong, I should be in his bumper by now. I went home later and reset my timing, fuel pressure, etc. I couldn't find anything wrong (majorly depressing). The next day, a buddy of mine said he overheard the guy talking about an old GMC staying on his a$$. Come to find out, he had GT40 heads, 6 pounds of boost, and a 150HP hit of nitrous. I felt better then. The second picture here is the car I traded to get my SRT-10 (best move I ever made).

How many ponies is the GMC puttin out??

How many ponies is the GMC puttin out??

I've never dyno'd the GMC, but based on a couple different simulators, it should be between 520 & 570HP at the flywheel. I'm guessing it's somewhere around 430-450HP at the wheels. It's a 355 inch small block with 12.75:1 static compression, a 0.632" mechanical roller and two 600's on a tunnel ram. I wish I had gone with less compression and a blower to make it more streetable. I have to run race fuel in it now. It's really not much more HP than a stock SRT-10, in fact it should have way less torque below 4000RPM, but it has a big weight advantage (3700 lbs.). The 4000 RPM stall doesn't hurt either.
