I've had the chance to drive the new 5.0 6sp, 3.73 gears, california special a few times around town and run it down the track about 4 times. A buddy's dad works at ford and has one as his company ride.
We got to take it out to milan for an event 2 weeks ago where ford had the whole track rented out. My best time was a 13.8 at 107. We had a lot of trouble not getting the tires to spin off the line. My buddys dad's best was 13.6 at 106.
It was around 80 degress and fairly humid out. Livernois motorsports was also there that day... https://ls1tech.com/forums/multimedi...line-data.html
I will give the new mustang some credit.. this thing does rip pretty hard. But not every joe shmoe on any given day will be hitting mid 12's. That's just crazy.

You call anything that shows the GT running faster than you claim as hype.
Again is this hype?

I love how people that have actually raced the car, or seen it raced, are being told their times are incorrect based on published magazine times. I know some will run faster and slower than others based on many factors, but if someone personally drives the car to a 13.8, how are you going to tell him that isn't right. He ran the damn time. Whether or not the car had more in it, that's what he ran.

Here is a guys car that I watched run last week at Edgewater Raceway. Only mods are Evolution tune and 4.10 gears. Automatic with a 28in tall tire which is actually a little tall and makes the gears more like 3.73's

I put a tune and cai runs 13.3's with the 331 gears auto of course.. don't wanna mess up the 24mpg gas milage with stall and 410's.It can easily be mid 12v's(still slow i know), thats how i know the new 5.0 will run way better than a 13.5. Im not gonna waiste my money on the new 5.0, i'll just wait until somebody totals their new 5.0 out and buy just the motor and tranny.It would make for a good sleeper! I had just bought the car for my wife when the vid was taken.

Who gives a ****? you are contradicting yourself saying they need to stop boasting about the times at ATCO well you need to stop trying to compare everything to the times you saw at 3200ft!!!! Thats not normal and far from it.

And that link is a modded/tuned/geard auto on a slick with race gas. And before you say "torco isn't race gas" stop and think to yourself what adding torco does to 93 octane...

I'm sure the new 5.0's will be wrapped around poles soon enough

It's also pretty amusing that on the modular mustangs forum, in the 2011 Mustang subforum, literally 80% of the threads started are track times or performance package sales pitches by shops. The remaining 20% consist of people asking questions that don't get answered lol

Yes it is.
Much like every other GM based forum when the Camaro FIRST came out. And don't say it wasn't like that. Cause it was.
