can a 4gen 5spd be faster the a 5gen

[lowblocks]

because today i pulled up on a 5gen at the light and we ran like 4 blocks and i pulled like 2 cars on him how is this possible i have a intake and y pipe but I'm 300 and have 2 12s in my trunk can some1 tell me what happen

[MinisterofDOOM]

Most likely, he simply wasn't trying.

An early 5th gen wouldn't be a whole lot quicker than your 4th gen, though.

[lowblocks]

he was trying because when we got to the next red light he said that my max is fast and he ask what i have on it.and with my i told him not much

00-01 5th gens are heavier and while they make better high-end power, reality is with the stock 6500rpm redline they don't rev high enough to take advantage of the extra power after they shift-- they fall out of their powerband.

Now if he was an `02-`03 he shoulda been significantly faster than you, even if you had intake/y-pipe.

yeah if he was a 5.5 gen with 3.5 he wouldve beat you.
