yes, but that rain and snow washed it off. There will be more on it this year yet. | ||

Daves I hate to burst your bubble,but I deliver new cars and trucks for the local dealers in my area. I dont know what size motors are available in the stang GT,but I have seen the dodge 1500 pick up (HEMI) chew up the GT like a penny piece of bubble gum. | ||
| Bads1 |
Been in both....not happening.lol The diesel though...exhaust and chip and your there. | ||
| Daves |
I think you can get the GT with 300 HP I have, on purpose, not followed them all that close. I really like them but do not need one. I have a hard time thinking that a Hemi pickup would take a 300 hp Mustang unless the guy driving the Stang didn't know how to race very well? Just the weight difference and the ability a car has to "hook up" better than a truck would make up for the HP difference. | ||
| Daves |
Dana, I don't think just a chip and exhaust would do it either. Maybe with propane injection yes. That really wakes them up! | ||
| Bads1 |
Dave I know a dually running 13's. Chip exhaust and some mass air work. The diesels are fast. | ||
| Daves |
wasn't there a video of that truck? If it is, it has more work done to it than that to get into the 13s Bigger turbo? Propane inj? Gears? Weight shaving? Suspension? | ||

I have never raced eather just playing with them in parking lot both new off show room floor, I do own 2 cummins 3500 but the 6 speed is a SOB to shift The auto. tranny has not worked for us as our loads are better than 20,000# | ||
| Bads1 |
Nope 13.60's I believe and it's a 4 door with full leather. No video,its my brothers buddy. They took it to the drag strip last year to watch some friends run there HD's and he decided to run the truck for fun.LOL | ||

My wife's got the Mustang and it's not impressive IMHO. WRX STi is most impressive right out of the box  BadS1, You still have the Element? How many windshields have you put in it? I'm on number 4. There's a class-action out there where you'll get back the price of one. I don't have the details at hand, but it's a real thing. (Message edited by bigdaddy on December 01, 2006) | ||

Get the time slips and scan and post them. I do not believe them. Not saying I don't believe you Dana. I just don't believe your buddy. | ||
| Daves |
Those WRXs are quick! Ugly but quick | ||
| Bads1 |
No not yet. Whats happening to them??? Any way of telling its going to happen before it does?? I heard about a class action but I've got nothing in the mail yet. Fill me in please????????????????? | ||
| Bads1 |
Dave this guy has nothing to lie about he's a frick'n millionaire. YOUTUBE some video's there a bunch of them about these run of the mill Dodges and Fords running very fast. I wasn't there my brother was and others. They or even him was not like excited about it. He ran it a couple times then parked it. Its 2006 model though. | ||
| Daves |
I still do not believe a mostly stock truck can run mid 13 second 1/4 miles. Anyone else on this thread ever seen this happen? I could, of course be wrong. Where's Rocketman, he would know. | ||
| Bigdaddy |
BadS1, http://www.gilardi.com/hondaelement/ http://www.hondaelementscrack.com/ That covers it -- I think? Anyway, we received something in the mail,,,made copies of the most expensive replacement we'd had (they're only covering one) and sent it in. | ||
| Bigdaddy |
Dave, The WRX Sti has to grow on you IMHO. You need to go drive one and let me know what you think Nearly 300HP off the showroom floor,,,exhaust, downpipe, chip it,,,,340 is easily attainable. One other thing that I noticed,,,,while driving it you can't see how ugly it is The thing freaking rocks -- it will totally run away from the Mustang.

by the way Dana, being a millionaire doesn't exclude the possibility he is full of shit.  I know a couple pretty wealthy people that are. | ||
| Daves |
can you post some links to YOUTUBE that shows a truck,in stock,or close to it running a 13-14 sec 1/4 mile? | ||
| Johntman |
I'll chime in here. I've seen a f-250D four door long wheel base, with lift kit and 35 in tires pull out in 4w high and smoke'em down, all 4 that is. It had the 4in exhuast, a full k&n intake, and the bullydog programer. He said it would take a Gt off the line up till about 85-90 mph. not actually seen, but with the exhuast and chips the new diesels are strong! | ||
| Daves |
That, I do not doubt. I know the new diesels are hot if you pipe and chip them. I am disputing the under 14 sec 1/4 mile time for a big heavy truck | ||
| Jugallo94 |
the wrx wont pull away from a stage 3 mustang. Dont ask how I know but Ihave seen it tried and failed. Although in six gear stomping the gas on a stage 3 at 60mph will smoke the tires and if your not careful will do a complete 360 in the middle of a freeway while doing this. Sometimes I love my job.hehehe (Message edited by jugallo94 on December 01, 2006) | ||

Jug, you know about fast stuff. What do you think about a mostly stock big diesel truck pulling a sub 14 sec 1/4 mile? | ||
| Jugallo94 |
Stock I just dont believe it. I have never seen it, or heard about it in stock form. But with a few mild upgrades like a chip bigger turbos and different exhaust yes. But a dually stock running that I cant see. | ||
| Jugallo94 |
We did do some propane injection on ford diesels that were prototype testing, and with some other work that was done they were able to get them into the low 13's. But they werent duallys. | ||
| Daves |
here's the results from a diesel drag racing assoc race held last may Only one truck in Pro 2, which I am guessing is the closer to stock trucks. There is one 13.73 and one 14.00 flat.

Now, in Dana's brothers buddies defense, he could have a truck that runs those times but it would be far from stock,I'm thinking? Pro - 1 Round - 1 NHRDA # Name Reaction Time Dial In E.T.

Jug, I was only talking about the Mustang in my driveway. It's whatever a factory GT is -- unmolested. The STi will eat it. If my wife will give me some money, about 6K, I'd like to give that stage III a go I'd like to see a price comparison between the Mustang and STi after you set them both up,,,,very interesting. | ||
