My car only has 126 miles on it and i am going to baby it until it breaks in. But really, i was tempted to gun it as well but for the shake of my EVO and my driving records, I'll pass. Is there any EVO owners who own a 2005 -06 Mustang that is V8. I just want to know how they compare to my IX.

Be that as it may, I have run one several times both b4 and after my build. Stock you will far up quite nice to them, a reflash and turbo back you will walk them.. Getting into serious mods you will fly by them as if they were not moving.
*on a nice inclosed tracked away from harm and or danger. I got to play with one several times. Luckly it was me and some buddies. My car was a stage 1 sig plus vishnu build (do a search for info) at the time. You being on evo 9 a flash and turbo back exhaust would yeild you the same power I was at. My buddy was stock 05 Evo. To really show things in favor of the GT we all did several runs.
stock 05 vs stock 05 GT mustang
-30 mph roll, Stang jumps a fender but very slowly evo regains next to him only to stay that way.
-Dig, Welll we didnt have to say it but when the evo got a decent launch it won, other than that they were even.
-10 mph roll mustang had its way with the evo.
Vishnu stage 1 sig plus (400 BHP) vs 05 GT mustang
-30 mph roll, no jump by the stang and the evo just walks and walks and walks
-Dig, Im not great and launching so I do a light launch but still even with slight bog I walk and walk and walk
10 mph, Stang jumps hard a good car ahead but evo gets upto speed, next to him, then bye bye.
Now im up to some "big kid" mods and im rdy to play with a new cobra and or new z06.
cheers

Those types are around and a lot more common than you think.
I was going to say dont count out a "pos honduh" A friend and I just built and sold one that would give bikes a hurt feeling or too. 600 plus to the ground.
You can PM me for info if you would like im not going to take this off topic.good call slo4g63
