Yah, we all know (anyone with a half of a brain) how that will turn out...the same way its been since the late 60's.

This is just a little reminder that ford is Gm's bitch.....
You're a joke . Look at how clean that run is compared to the runs of the Mustang. It's gonna take some time for people to do the best runs. And you can't call a factory produced 9/10s car anybody's "bitch," especially if you're still running mid 12s with a bolton/cammed/stalled car .

People have been hitting 12s with just intake/tune on Mustang GTs since 2005. The new models have a minor power increase and 3.73s vs. 3.55s. And then the 2011 models will only have a very minor weight increase, and 400hp+. So the next few years will be very interesting.

The mustang runs looked pretty clean to me....except the one guy that hit the limiter at the end of the track, was that a loss of almost a second from it? I think not, if thats the case my car will be in the low 11's because I was on the limiter in every gear (bad tune).

Did you actually watch the videos of that Mustang running? The launch was horrible, he hit the limiter after almost every gear, and didn't have the shifting down at all. It's quite obvious to anyone that knows what they're looking at. And bringing my car into the discussion is pretty pointless, considering;
1) I never brag about how fast it is
2) I didn't imply that a factory 9/10s car was a "little bitch."

Yes, the 3900lb Camaro will have 430hp. And the 3500lb Mustang will have 400hp or more. So like I said... it's going to be an interesting time.

But the difference is the mudstang motor will be maxed out with its over rated 400hp, while the LS3 is just getting warmed up at 430hp. the LS3's have so much potential they can pick up 75hp with just a cam change....

Um yah, pulling both front wheels of the ground is a horrible launch... The 2nd run in this vid is perfect except were he hit the limiter at the end which will only really affect his mph not et..

So in 2011 the GT will have 400hp.That's were the car should be @.I don't understand why they went down in HP w/ the 94 model instead of going up in HP like the Z-28 did in 93.It is like to me Ford and GM switch back and forth.

The first run was bad the whole way down the track, and he ran an 11.0 @ 135mph. The second run the launch was better (still came out of it a bit), but the run still wasn't completely clean. If you don't think the car has anymore left in it than you need help.

Looks like the left lane ran a 10.3, but I can't see that well.

Typical Ford "427hp" and run 13's What makes you think the new mustang will be any faster?



The Roush ROUSHcharger Supercharger Kit found on the Stage 3 pushes the horsepower out to 415 horsepower and 385 lb-ft torque, and the addition of an off-road exhaust system working with new specially tuned programming bumps up horsepower another twelve to the magical 427 number. This is good enough to hit 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, and the quarter mile passes by in 13.3 seconds at 108 mph.
