87GN vs 01 Mustang GT

[Robes87GN]

This isnt a kill post, but might be in 4-5 months, when my baby is back together. There is a mustang here where I go to school who is the "top guy" to beat in the area I guess. I am not sure on the year, but a newer style Mustang GT with nitrous, superchip, underdrive pulleys and whatnot. With this combo, we raced this past year. I went from idle and my bad trans kicked out at 60. We were talking when the light went green too and he got a car jump before I even touched the gas. I was still gaining on him bad (in street trim). I heard the nitrous go in his car (125 shot) and his tires spun a bit. My pursuit slowed but I was still walking my 3-car deficit before my trans missed 2-3. He said he is pushing 400+hp right now and is adding some headers, MAF, and something else to give him another 40+ hp. Do I have any chance here? My car is proven 12.2 with slicks, 12.8 in my post. After a good tune and a fixed trans (new clutch packs, 3000 stall, and Art Carr shift kit), I should be able to rock him, right? I am getting 28x11.5 Hoosier Quick Time Pros next year too (instead of 26x11.18 Nitto 555R DR's). RJC Power Plate added, as well as Comp Cam valve springs, and ported heads (3-way valve job). Since then I have taken out my backseats, sound dampening, and AC. Basically, Low 12sec street trimmed GN (hopefully) vs 450hp Mustang.

With sticky tires on both cars, should be a damn good race.

Thanks for the self-esteem boost guys, but can I get some more input? I want this to be on tape for money.

You need a bigger Turbo ( TA 49 or better Te44 ) and bigger injectors ( 42 or better 50 ) with a good chip and a front mount later on. With the Turbo and injectors and a good chip with good gaz ( 104 octane ) and your set-up with a new trans and 3000 stall Torke you will walk easily that guy. Gilles.

I dont have that much money. Tranny work will be done this spring. 3000 stall converter 9", Art Carr shift kit, and new clutch packs.

When I raced my 96 Grand Marquis for fun, everyone raced me. When I bought my GN, no one wanted any! This car will never leave my grasp, ever. This guy with a fairly quick S-10 said hed whomp anything around. I am like, all right, let me go get my buick. He asked what engine, and I am like, just a v6, nothing special. He said, "It's not that GN I have seen driving around is it?" "Sure is." "F*ck that" he said and drove away. God, I love this car. I bought this car when I was still in HS last spring. I hated going to class and being able to see it in the parking lot. Those were the classes I did my worst in because all I did was look and think about my car. I better beat this guy, its going to be for money and on tape. When I get the tape, I will post it on here for everyone to see.
