2000 Pontiac Trans Am - WS6 performace package.

I had to rebuy the "ram air" decals and the WS6 badge cause some idiot wanted to de-bage this beast....I love it when a mustang can read and be beat without even racing :lmao

Nice car, but...

maybe where you come from, but these arent slow. Not that mustangs cant be MADE fast but a mustang with exhaust got ate by my 00 silvy with a 4.8.

nice chicken boss, I got me an LS1 not too long ago, its a ton of fun with the T56

maybe a cobra, saleen, or roush...but no stock Mustang GT is gonna walk these F-bodys. that goes for the LS1 camaro's as well. :bitchfight

and I probably won't do any track runs until I get some street radials, which isan't soon.

Ya,anything can be MADE to go fast...re-read my post I'm pretty sure I said "stock mustang" ....stock mustang does include the GT500&SVT Termi,no??:scratch

Lol,I'm at the track all the time...I have yet to see a stock '00 Trans-Am(or even w exhaust,throttle body&shortshifter) touch a stock Terminator...let alone a stock GT500....just sayin

show me where oldgixxer said a stock mustang gt?

he said "stock mustang", which includes unodded gt500's, and svt cobra's...

I am sure the new 5.0 they are putting in the 2011 mustangs will rape that also....

10 years of R&D may just make a difference. I'm sure a 2011 Camaro can stomp on it as well. That doesn't say much of anything.

I haven't heard about a new 5.0 in the 2011's. That sounds tasty. I might be in the market for a new 5.0 if they fix that awful ass they put on there in 2010.

Your going to have to wait till 2014 for that. I am just waiting to buy mine in 2012 because they are releasing the boss.

Nah.

New Camaro is too heavy, and gives up about 300 lbs to the Mustang.

I am a huge GM fanboi, but know that the new Coyote engine is going to make the Stang the measuring stick.

413 hp dohc all alum

All kinds of other goodies optional like monoblock brembos, along with a more aggressive track pack.

awww c'mon now, GT500's, Saleens...etc... aren't you're average mustangs lol....give me a break with it VS a GT.

besides i'm almost done ordering all comsetic replacements...you know what that means??? taxes came in and I smell cammed w/ SLP LT headers flowing all the way back to some loudmouths....mmmmhmmm.....:punk and of course some drag radials :ohmy

see ya at the track...:wait

I see a lot of GT500's running on the streets around NYC&they are still "stock mustangs" lol

Take the tax money&slap a Procharger on that poncho:cheers

I understand they're stock but defently not average lol...have to get a litenfelter vette against that or something. I have very rarely seen GT500's or saleens for that matter in my life, maybe 2 Roushes around here. there is 1 Ford GT I've seen and its like a busa on 4 wheels.

I think I may stay N/A for a while. If I did go forced induction, I believe I would go Turbo. I love S/C'ers but I've never had a turbo car. would be intresting.

If your going to drag race it why would you get turbo? You need a supercharger.

Maybe some of that can trickle over to the cop car. The one I have now supposedly beefier brakes than stock, but they still fade pretty badly when I'm pushing the car hard.

I hope your picking out a new rear with all of these goodies. That 7.5 is not going to be worth much. Stock with drag radials is hard enough on them. No, I am not bashing GM or saying Ford is better, just speaking truth and experience.

ah my famous saying I used to say in Iraq, " to each is their own " lol... I'm a diehard GM fanboy and will be for life...Personally I hate ford and dodge, everybody and their mama has a ford mustang or a dodge charger...how many of these birds do you see on the road? thats why I love Pontiac, cause their rare beatiful cars...Not hatin' on fords, just never liked them, never will. Hats off to 03-04 cobras though..

O and to answer ur questions, atleast 3.73's. 4.10's are still questionable.

There's some serious turbo'd drag cars out there.

That just doesn't make sense to me. I would much rather have the instant power.

did you see the link i posted?

turbo is the way to go nowadays, unless you are talking 4-second nitromethane cars.

and you can have instant power with a turbo, lag is a thing of the past really. brake boosting, 2-steps, etc...

yep small turbo ='s top end lag....large turbo ='s low end lag ( cause it has to spool up ). Twin Turbo ='s WIN!!!

Oh I didt know you were going twin turbo.:cheers

Common misconception that twin turbo is good.

One properly sized turbo> a small turbo and a big turbo

ESPECIALLY when you are dealing with the volume of exhaust a V8 puts out.

You can run a BIIIIIG turbo with almost no lag.

Lag only comes with misproper turbo sizing.

Or the use of ancient turbo technology

Almost everything new has means of anti lag...whether it be twin scroll or fueling anti-lag

you would only use a small and a big turbo if you are going sequential, to use one to spool the other. most drag mustangs use one gigantic single, because the big motors can spool them easily.

some of the big twin turbo's will use nitrous to help spool the turbo as well....

Thats what I need,twin turbo's&some nitrous:biggrin

And come springtime,you WILL be coming to the next Shakedown at E-Town w me no excuses!!!!:chucks

and yeah, i'll go with you as long as i am not at the track myself.

riiight...my mistake...if it's got the power to spool it... I must of been thinking of 4cyl hondas with the big/small turbos/lag lmao...

IRRC most of the twin turbo supras have ended up going to larger singles at the drag strip as it was better in the long run :dunno

My 4cyl DSM didn't need a HUGE turbo and with the right equipment I never noticed any "lag" against some of the v6/v8's :lol

To the OP -

Sweet looking car :cheers

At the local car show they auctioned off a custom pinstriped hood for this exact car. It was a burnt orange with metallic flake, black stripes and GORGEOUS striping.

Only went for $900 :crying

Maybe the I-6 of the Supra vs the V-8 of the Mustang has something to do with that,just guessing:dunno

the supras go with a big single because they can build boost right off the line, and not have to worry about lag.

if it's a late 90's eclipse gsx, I always liked those, I dunno much about DSM but was about the only jap car I could see alittle taste in.

a pre-painted WS6 or Firehawk hood for only $900 bucks? isan't an excellent price but considering the paint work, still a good deal.

A turbo is more efficient in making power and the power is more easily tuned. That is why they are a huge favorite for guys in the 10.5 Outlaw/ORSCA classes, because they are trying to do big things on a "small" tire so they need to leave a little softer on the power and ramp it up hard. Nitrous is also very popular in those applications for this reason. Those cars also have more money in suspension parts/tuning than anything else.

I love supercharged applications because of the sound. I just wish they was as effective as turbos :hammer

Nice ride. Enjoy! :thumbup

maybe a cobra, saleen, or roush...but no stock Mustang GT is gonna walk these F-bodys. that goes for the LS1 camaro's as well. :bitchfight

and I probably won't do any track runs until I get some street radials, which isan't soon.

my mach will walk it its no cobra saleen or roush.
nice WS6 tho much better looking than a camaro IMO

If your going to drag race it why would you get turbo? You need a supercharger.

Turbos in the proper configuration are superior to superchargers. More overall power, quicker. Supercharger boost rises slowly with rpm, once turbo spools you have full immediate boost, and keep the boost between shifts.

depends on the supercharger. a positive displacement blower like an eaton or Kenne Bell or whipple give you full boost right from the get go. no spool nothing the main problem with that is traction. turbo or SC it all depends all depends on preference

nice ride! I sold my 1998 TA a few months ago...big cam and n2o putting down 508hp. You'll love it, just be easy on that 10 bolt rear end (unless its already been switched out)

More like battling the ridiculous amount of heat PD SCs make...
