Default Got Beat by a 2003 Mustang GT! WTF

Im not sure if this is in the right section or not. But anyway i went to meet up with a friend to race a guys 2003 mustang GT the mods from what i was told was a Intake, cut off cats, tune, and drag radials. My mods are throttle body spacer, HKS Ti Exhaust , Injen Cold-air intake, and lighter pulley set.

The first race was heads up to jumped me a car out of the hole every time no spining on neither car and he would hold that distance the whole qt mile. Next i asked him to give me the jump and see if i when. During that race i jumped him a car out of the whole and held him the same car length the whole mile.

My question is does those mods plus tires make that car that much faster? I usually pull 2-3 cars on mustang 4.6 gt....

Get rid of your throttle spacer and get plenum spacer, plus what frosty said.

I traded in my 2001 Mustang GT for my 350z. And I can tell you tires and exhaust do wonders for those 4.6's. Are you sure he didnt have gears? I had 4.10's in mine and it made a world of difference.

I'm starting to think he had a unknown part cause he would never pop his hood....
