Well fellas......I live in Louisiana and it rain yesterday so we did not race. It has been raining alot lately but the temp was awesome to race in. It was 71 degrees yesterday and I think if I beat him in the launch, I would have beat him. The car is heavier than mine and he have 22in rims on his car. (Not to say that would make a huge difference). I was not going to let him walk me down

my grand prix gxp got 28mpg on road trips.
13.7 @ 103 bone stock.
i do believe i have more than a right to explain what is going to happen when a stock ss/tc picks on a modded ls4 car. i have driven and/or owned both.
saying someone will beat or lose to someone without personal experience is grounds for failure.

i have several maps i have put together for some ls4 owners. yes hpt does support it. the trans is a bitch to get right, and will fail eventually. to be honest. i was one fo the first to get a "tune" via mail order from a company in canada, and well. it was lack luster. part throttle rocked. wot was less than desired. i also sprayed a 120 shot on 28 degree's of timing and never had one motor problem out of it ever.
mine had a k&n intake. hogan 3 inch catless dp. magnaflow mufflers, harlon sharp 1.8 rockers. not a bad running car, it just wasn't me. i will say the monsoon system in the gxp variant is a wicked speaker system when it isn't held back by the stock radio. it rivaled a lot of usac finals SQ cars i built years back in terms of quality and staging. thats about all i miss from that car, and the brakes were awesome.
ok im done talking up the gxp now
carry on

Are you guys serious? All the people in the mustang gt vs ss/tc thread are like, "oh they aren't that quick." "you should take one." blah blah....but this one is gonna be close hmm? Interesting since this is a considerably slower car. Think about that next time the tc becomes a gto and ascends into heaven in a war stories thread.
weighs 3700 lbs, is front wheel drive and has 300hp. It runs high 13's at the very best. It should be fairly close. Make sure you get him on the launch and he wont be able to gain ground.

The LS4 is not that fast stock.......Ive seen him run my brother's stock GTO and got murdered 3 car lengths having some mods on his Impala. Im not trying to say I have the fastest car in the world because people must understand HP does make a huge difference. I feel like if I get a good launch I can have a better chance of beating him. If he spray out the gate, I can probably kiss my ass good bye. The only thing I can bank on if I hook and he dont. Also, I think the weight diff will become a factor, but he has the torque to accomodate that I guess??? I just no it will be a damn good race, but if his car was stock.....I would kick his ass

the best of the LS4 cars would be the Grand Prix because of the staggered tire size ( 255 up front, 225 in back) my monte has 235 all around and from a launch, if you dont roll the throttle to the floor, and you punch it, you dont stand a chance, you will burn the tires thru the 60'. with drag radials, no wheel spin and adds .4 to your run.

im just saying when v8's can get 22 -30 mpg and roll down the track at mid 13's stock at 21,000 let me know. with 2 grand in mods you can get into 12's on the track. im not bashing v8's cause i almost got an 08 mustang and i liked the car. im saying look how 4 cylinders can compete with 8

c5's run HIGH 12's- low 13's stock and get damn good highway gas mileage. and dont even ask which will be faster with 2 grand put in them
