Yes it is true I have not seen what 4.6L can do at sea level. But let me go off of what I have witnessed at my local track which is 5843 feet above sea level. Stock 99+ GT run between 15.2-15.4 stock for manuals and 15.7-16.0 stock for AODE.

My GT ran a 15.3 stock. From adding 3.73 gears, K&N, FMS pulleys, and flowmasters I dropped it to a 14.8, then I added a custom x-pipe and replaced the flows with some magnaflows and run consistant 14.6's.

Out of the 5 speed 99+ GT's I have seen at my track:
-2001 GT with MAC Prochamber, MAC Cat-back, and MAC CAI ran a 15.1, he then lowered it to a 14.7 with 3.73's and short shifter.
-1999 GT with only a MAC off-road h-pipe and K&N ran a 14.9(All driver on this one).
-2000 GT with a K&N run's a 15.3
-2001 GT with tri-ax run's a 15.4
-2001 N/A Saleen S281 with off-road x, 3.73's, and tri-ax runs a 14.8
2000 Roush Stage 2 GT with 3.73's, and off-road H runs a 14.7
-2001 Bullit GT ran a 14.9 while spinning through 1st gear, he was totally stock.
-1999 GT run's a 14.5 with off-road H, Flows, 3.73's, pulleys, K&N, drag radials, tri-ax, 70mm t-body, and long tube headers.

That's just few of the people I know and seen at the track.

Altitde isn't very friendly for racing. N/A cars have a hard time getting the times up here. The sad thing is 2nd Gen Talon Tsi's and Eclipse GSX's and GS-T run between 14.9-15.4 stock up here. That's what they run at sea level basically. Turbo cars don't really lose much power at altitude. S/C cars lose more but not as much as N/A.

Turbochargers create their own barometric pressure, that's why they don't loose any HP at a higher altitude. Don't ask me to explain it because I can't. I read it in a turbocharger operation guide.

BTW Jimbo, I have a blue Cobra of my own, check it out!:

JB, welcome! Glad to see you found us. You have one hell of a Cobra. Streetable elevens, you gotta love the four cam 4.6 :-D. My parents live in Houston, and if you haven't sold it, I'll look you up when I'm in town.

P.S. How much for that monster? (PM me if you want.)

 

[JBVobra]

well, I'm listing it at $23,500. The mileage is 27,800.

of course, like most everything for sale, the price is negotiable.

it starts running in the Houston Chronicle tomorrow.

Man that just makes your times that much more impressive. That is a good bit of driving. Keep doing us proud man!

That is one very nice Cobra also. You can see pics of my old one on my web page still.

No wonder you can't see us running those times. You're a mile high in the thinnest air. I'd have to plan a road trip to some place a little more racer friendly. ;-)

At any rate MM&FF just took their new 2001 GT out last month and went 13.70's with less than 1000 miles on the clock. Better altitude will make a difference for us. You could try getting it tuned for your location with a chip. That would help some I'm sure since all the cars got the same tune from the factory regardless of location.

That 13.70 was probly with Evan Smith behind the wheel, damn he is one hell of a driver.

But a chip won't help any. Thin air is thin air. You have no clue how lucky you guy are to be at sea level and run the time your run. But I know I can get a fster time out my GT up here. I know it's capable of a 14.4 or 14.5 cause on my stock good years I was cutting 2.0 and 2.1 60's. On my Kumhos all I can cut is 2.2's

 

[Mikie2001GT]

Good luck bud, I hope you get those times down

Sounds like you need a trip east

for what its worth... Steve Baur (editor for MM&FF) not Evan
purchased and test drove the 01 GT down the strip to the 13.738 @ 100.28 (2.137 60') Bone stock.
See ya
Mike

That's the point, you are more than likely running really rich because you have the factory tune. If you get a chip tuned to get your A/F ratio in check you will pick up some power.

That's BS, there's no way a Mustang can run in the 13s BONE STOCK. Way to go Don, nice time.

Hey who let that guy in here!! ;-)

Nah, Thanks Chris. I'm still no threat to you, but hey we all can't be the fastest. :burnout: ;-)

Don I'm no threat to anybody, except that poor kid in the Ford Escort ZX2.:burn: Car looks great and ran even better. We'll see you guys again at the track soon. I really need to change my sig.

Hey it was a solo pass, so what the heck. I just kept going over it in my head. Work the car not the tree. Work the car not the tree.Work the car not the tree. I really wanted the best time I could get. Still I was a little ashamed of the 1.xx light. :sleeping: on the line it would seem, ;-)

Where was that idiot that said the GT was LS1 bait? I guess a smack in the face with cold hard reality was too much for him. Hence the NO SHOW after I called him out more than once.

Stylin99 (Steve) has the video on cd for me. I think it is like 50mb though. He got a really nice recording of it. You can see the wheel hop on the 1st to 2nd shift & on the 2nd to 3rd shift. I'm thinking control arms and drag radials and hello 13.30's ? ¿ ? :burnout: :-D

 

[94cobra]

I hate it when people say factory freak. I get called that all the time. It's called good driving, GR8 just proved it. Good driving GR8.
