I know Mustang GT's stock are dogs but they are not that slow.
I put about 4-5 cars on a slightly modded GT from a dead stop and I can put about a little over 2 1/2 cars on a 350Z. That is from a stop, from a roll, give and take a car or so.

Well, obviously, that is a matter of opinion. Depends on where you do most of your racing

Think it matters alot, if you're going to come online and start thread after thread of "350z's Vs GT's". I'll take a timeslip over your kill stories anytime.

This is from 02YellowGT on Colorado Street Racing board:
It was cool meeting you guys last night. Hey, are you going to go to the test and tune on the 30th? I bet your car runs a high 13, very low 14.0x. I ran a 14.89 at PMI last year, the way you walked all over me you should be that good.

Quite the contrary. At this elevation, that is a damn good time (for a stock Mustang GT).

The general rule of thumb is add .15 seconds for every 1,000 feet to your quarter mile time from the base sea level times.

According to the NHRA it's actually .13 per 1000ft and in this case we would subtract to achieve his sea level times.

Guys! Mustang GTs ARE NOT that fast! 5 legnths is just .5 seconds, R&T has the Mustang GT here at 14.7sec http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....ber=5&preview=
We've all seen Magazine times for the Z down around 13.9-14.2, so whats the big disbelief!!!

1: mag racing is gay
2: its common knowledge that 99+ mustang gt's are capable of high 13's stock... this is not a rare occurance and is more common than not.... i still think the 350z is faster... but lets not blow things out of proportion
