Anyone know roughly what a stock 89 Vert Auto runs? My friend with a 2000 GT 5Spd stang thinks I can beat him, but i don't think so His car should be in the low 14's high 13's. Hopefully my opinion changes when the new Torque Conv goes in .

If his car is stock then you'll take him. If you have the 3.07 rear you should be able to squeeze out a very high 13 second pass if it's running good and you know how to drive it.

If you have base 2.59 gears I would say low 14s.

Toss the frisbee from the front of your water pump pulley, cut the air filter lid and add a K&N filter, and install cut-back spark plugs to get into the high 13s, if you can hook it up.

Well, my 88 coupe auto with 3.07s ran a best this year so far of 14.05 at 96.80 mph. That was with a 2.04 60' on street tires.

My brother-in-laws 2001 Mustang GT 5 speed ran a best of 14.02. He is very inconsistent as my car will run 14.1-2 all day long while his goes from 14.1 to 14.5 and back.

His stang is unusual because most Mustangs GTs at the tracks around here run high 14s and low 15s. It will be close!!
