You're kidding, right? Fair race? WTF is a "fair race"? I was destroying '03-'04 Cobras with my LS1, but I was modded, so I guess I cheated then...even tho it was a daily driver....

If someone's car is faster than yours, I don't care what is done to either car, you lost, period. Mods equal unfair is such a ricer statement...

Well call it that then. lol I just know the excuses will be that my car was modded, but there is an excuse for everything right? If I loose then it's because I have a few extra pounds on my body than he does lol jk

And if you have a ls1 and the cobras were charged, then nodding urs would even it out right? You just don't show up to a drag strip and expect to call a fair race when one car runs 9 sec and the other runs 14...

i usually beat most mustangs in two main large categories....braking and handling I can go faster longer and faster in a corner....In Mexico of course

I'd have to say it is a driver's race. You have the edge, but, it will be close IMO.

After driving both an LS3 Camaro and a 14 5.0, I'd say the 5.0 is a good bit faster stock for stock. Comparing the fastest times acheived in stock form, Coyote's have gone 12.2's versus the Camaro's 12.5. 3 tenths is a good amount faster than you think.

Handling/Looks are subjective. An SS is not outhandling a Track pack 5.0. A 1LE, yes, it will. Same for a ZL1.

Be safe OP and let us know how it goes. I'm rooting for you.

80's huh must have forgot about a Grand National/GNX. Ruled the streets

Are you seriously talking about racing through corners on the street? You're watching too many fast and furious movies.

1KillerSS · 03-18-2014, 10:16 PM

Not sure what you're talking about; they will out corner an SS and beat an M3 in every performance category.

The 1LE destroyed every 5th gen Mustang Ford put out. Ford wouldn't even allow the press to test a Boss against a 1LE.
