<font color='#000000'>Let me say first off that I know the owner of this car. &nbsp;It is an automatic, &nbsp;but at his hp level that doesnt really matter. &nbsp;It has a full 3&quot; dual exhaust, no cats, and the Paxton/Novi charger. &nbsp;He has only had it in for a few weeks now and I just heard the other day about it. &nbsp;Sounds mean as hell.

Anyway.....

On the way home from Darlington Wed night &nbsp;about 130am I came up behind him just as we got into MB on 501. &nbsp;I followed for a few minutes till the lanes opened up and then I got beside him and popped the Blitz in 3rd gear. &nbsp;I jumped on it again and pulled off from him about a half length and let off again. &nbsp;Pssshhhtt!!

At first he wasnt taking the bait, &nbsp;but then I heard him stomp it and the charger really started to whine as it spooled.
He started to pull off and he caught me when I wasnt expecting it. &nbsp;Thankfully, he let off too. &nbsp;There were a few cars ahead so we cooled it down and I got behind him. &nbsp;We both turned off 501 and got onto the Hwy 17 bypass southbound, &nbsp;going by the airport. &nbsp;There is a lot of construction right there, &nbsp;so we kept it cool till it widened out.
My adrenalin was pumping so hard hearing that blower wheezing just a car length away....

The construction ended, and we had a clear road ahead for almost a mile. &nbsp;Cruising along at about 50mph, &nbsp;I dropped it into third and waited. &nbsp;We were in separate lanes at this point, and he was about a length and a half behind me. &nbsp;I heard the kickdown and he started coming up FAST. &nbsp;I floored third gear and it was on! &nbsp;He was at my rear bumper now but I was holding my own all the way thru third gear. &nbsp;I hit 4th gear at 7500 and kept it to the floor. &nbsp;He was at my back tire on the shift but I pulled up till he was at my rear bumper again. &nbsp;I didnt realize it, &nbsp;but the far right lane was ending and he was in it. &nbsp;The road was empty so I switched to the left lane but he had already got out of the gas and slowed. &nbsp;I was about 4-5 lengths up cruising now just letting things cool off a bit.

I kept an eye on his HID look headlights and saw him coming up slowly again. &nbsp;We both stopped at a redlight and it is a very well lit area, &nbsp;so I guess we both mutually decided not to drop it from there. &nbsp;We pulled off slow side by side and I was wondering if he was wanting to go again. &nbsp;He seemed to hang back a bit so I shifted to 4th and just cruised along at about 45mph. &nbsp;He was inching up a little till he was at my rear tire again, &nbsp;and the next thing I knew, &nbsp;I heard the kickdown and the scream of blower in full song. &nbsp;It was my fault, I should have been ready. &nbsp;In the time that I went from 4th to 3rd and floored it, &nbsp;we had switched, &nbsp;I was now at HIS rear tire. &nbsp;And man was he moving! &nbsp;SaRa was holding her own very well though. &nbsp;I sat right at his rear bumper all the way thru 3rd and untill about 7000rpm in 4th when he let off. &nbsp;I'm guessing that we were doing about 125mph at that point. &nbsp;We slowed back down to the limit and he put his window down. &nbsp;My buddy Ryan motioned for him to pull over and we pulled into the Med Ctr front lot to talk for a minute. &nbsp;I left the 180 on to cool her down a bit. &nbsp;The exhaust/turbo was now smoking so badly that it nearly blocked out the hospital. <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Anyone have any experience on the Novi chargers for the 2002 GT? &nbsp;Ideas of HP? &nbsp;Id just like to know. &nbsp;I'm pretty sure it will be close to 400hp.

Enjoy..

<font color='#000F22'>hmm 2002 GTs are pretty fast stock plus a blower...jeez</font>

<font color='#000000'>The funny thing is, &nbsp;when he bought the blower..he came to me to have it installed but I am SO boked up that I couldnt do it quickly enough for him. &nbsp;He had some local guy do it that works out of a storage bin...LOL &nbsp;It works though...I can vouch for that.

I'm not dumb enough to run from a stop...my 15&quot; street tires would not stand a chance against his 255/45/17s, &nbsp;even if I do turn 1.9 60fts on the track... <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'>

Oh, &nbsp;and the boost peak/hold on the race?? &nbsp;1.20 bar...can anyone say &quot;overboost&quot;. &nbsp;I set the AVCr to my B setting when I first saw him. &nbsp;It is actually .80 with the duty set for controlled overboost to .95...but it went a little over...all good though...plenty of fuel. &nbsp;No damage done and she pulled HARD.

<font color='#FF0000'>ALL i can say is &quot;SWEET gooodness DAMN!&quot;

<font color='#000F22'>They probably claim around &quot;100 over stock&quot; add 260 thats 360 at the flywheel. &nbsp;I guess with 15-20 percent d/t loss 306 at the wheels. &nbsp;An X-pipe, MAF, TB and dyno tune and he should be running pretty well. Check out this article Ill post in a min on what this '99 Auto GT is running with 100-shot.</font>

<font color='#000000'>The car is white and has a full body kit. &nbsp;It has GTR emblems on the rear panel ( <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> ) &nbsp;And r33 style euro taillights.

It is driven by a young mexican kid whose family owns a few Mexican restaurants around here.

Looks kinda ricey, but she'll back it up

<font color='#000F22'>Is it a true DMP GT-R Mustang or do you know? &nbsp;Dallas Mustang Performance makes a kit called a GT-R with a supercharger, suspension and more performance mods.</font>

no, this car is definitely just a riced, pretty quick GT.

The emblems are the ones from Autozone.</font>
