Hoping for 11.2 to 11.4 @ 120+ next fall. It should happen with a ~50 hp bump from the exhaust and e85.



Yep. I'm wondering if ford can even the odds next year good times
Ford is supposed to come out with the 10 sp auto for 2018 it will be very tentatively to trade my car for a 10 sp auto , i hope they put the 5.0 on a diet too .

They need the a10 and at least 450 hp to make it interesting stock to stock. Probably ~470 to surpass IMO. Weight reduction could make it interesting too

Ford also needs to do something with that mt82 lol. Idk, seems like the manuals are becoming a thing of the past as of lately. I just wish the auto's weren't so boring to me.

Are you running a thermostat with the fans tuned Op? They pull timing once the coolant temp comes up. I noticed the same thing with the clutch on mine. It just needs a cool down after a couple runs to operate correctly again. Same as my old 4th gen was.

Edit: And Oo yea, good races. Lol

Looked like a lot of fun.

People always underestimate what a passenger's weight will do to the outcome...

I'm wondering if we may even see a a10 in the standard ss by 2018.

Should be in 2018 or 2019. I would consider trading mine in on a mid-cycle facelift 10 speed if it looks good.

Good fun runs mang. I am kind of wanting to see what Furd has in store for the 2018 GTs also. rumored 475hp and 10-speed will put it back on top against 6gen for sure.

I doubt it. Even if it was it would be slower than the gt350 because it's still down 50hp. And since the sexgen is faster than the gt350 it would be a failed effort.

GT350 not geared for dig races. GT will be. GT will be quicker in the 1/4 mile, but not as fast around road courses..... as the cars design was meant to be.

I ran a gt350 in mine from 50 -120 and got raped on top end. I'm not thoroughly impressed with them but they are faster (stock) than a 6g.

Maybe you should do the math on the gearing. You will find they are geared pretty steep. Much steeper than camaros have been.
