I like your lt1 i have had two of them in the past. The six speed ran its *** off on the freeway.

Rather than go off of what someone ran at the track then judging all GT's must run that time, why you just look at the numbers then that should give you an indication of what the car is capable off? That way it will take the driver's skill out of the equation. Cause we all know that every new Gt we see, we assume its John Force or Evan Smith behind the wheel.

So.... 412fwhp at 3780 (assuming a 175lb driver). Find an internet calculator and see what it tells you.

Drivers skill can be as much as 1/2 a second.

The new 5.0's are going to be in the 12's all day long. Of course you are going to have new drivers at the track cutting 2.2-2.5 60' going 13.0-13.8. But there is no reason why the new mustangs should not be in the 12.5-12.9 range. Put some drag radials on these and a few things things as simple as a tune and CAI/exhaust I can see these dipping in the 11's

Well said guys... Everyone is saying well they are only 13 sec cars because look at what normal people are running with them. Yes some people are running 13's but that doesnt make them a 13 sec car. They are a 12 sec car plain and simple, it just has to have someone behind the wheel that knows the car and how to drive just like any car.

Its going to take more than a month to know what the car really runs. This Ju1ce guy mustve gotten but raped by one too many mustangs in that pig of a GTO he has so he thinks he should degrade. Im not sure exactly what world you live in, but when a car runs 107-110 mph on average but the people driving it cant get off the line, they add slicks or radials and run up to a second quicker. Magazines are only telling most of us what we already know. On street tires with someone who is competent, I see it running high 12s.

Have I seen it? No. Did I see the 05 Mustang come out and run mid 13s with decent drivers on street tires? Yes. So how can this car that has 100 more hp, better power application and the same weight run the exact same times? Get your head out of your *** and smell 2010. That stock *** 5.0 is coming to take your soul.

Brand loyalty is a thing of the past. Im waiting to get my hands on a totaled 2011 myself to stuff that motor in a fox.

I think we can all agree that it's a 12 sec car being piloted by a lot of 13 sec drivers. But when it comes to racing one, you are racing what the car is actually running, not what it should/can run. The majority of owners will be average drivers at best. They are not the enthusiasts/racers that make up internet forums and have drag racing experience.

Of course gearing and what not can not be taken into calculation but that is a rough estimate.



For instance... This is what it says my car will run in the 1/4.
12.20558329444969

At the power level I entered for my car I was running bottom 11s in the heat with SLIGHT traction issues.

It can be taken either way.

I cant believe people are doubting these cars arent in the 12's, they weigh the same as a 4th gen and have a 100hp more lol.

there are always factors that will make a car perform below average.
*see level
*shift points
*launching it
*Driver
*motor not broke in all the way

keep in mind mags run the cars multiple times with a pro driver and take the best run done.

Mr370z

Maybe I'm just crazy but didn't the 05-09's make around 280 to the wheels and hasn't the new 5.0 already been dyno proven to make closer to 400 at the wheels? So with 120rwhp+ over the last models and those cars ran mid-high 13's stock.... yeah I seriously doubt the 3.73 pkg is only running 13.2

I think Ju1ce finally gave up on said claim. At least I hope so.

Jeez, I didn't even bother reading all of this thread. Fact of the matter is, Ford finally brought their A-game and made a decent motor. As sad as it is to say, now the GM is Government Motors, idk if we will make a competitor. (z28 anyone?)

All I care about is that I can beat one. So if some douche in a brand new 5.0 comes up next to me and tries to act like he's hot ****, I'll put him in his place.

Ke^in

They've been making decent motors for a long time. Some of you act as if this was the first Mustang that was faster than what GM had to offer.
The Z28 would be competition for the GT500 Cobra. Not the GT.

You can beat a stock one. Some basic mods and it might be you who is put in your place. You never know what someone has under the hood.

Slash8915

iTrader: (21)

What do you consider basic mods? If you mean boltons, I HIGHLY doubt it.

Ke^in

There are already bolt-on GTs in the 11s aren't there?

Irunelevens

In that case, most people can barely drive at all. I still wouldn't have faith in being able to beat a stock LS1 in my old S2000. If you can run the numbers in your own car, you really have to assume that everyone you come across is at least as good as yourself.

He has a H/C stalled A4... From a dig they better have more than bolt ons. The vast majority of bolt on GTs will not be in the 11s. There is always that one though, and that may be the one he runs into.


This considering that his setup runs what it should.

Ke^in

I just went by his 11sec title. I understand most bolt-on GTs wont be in the 11s, but he was acting as if it wasn't possible. The fastest GT run so far is what 12.5 in the 1/4? A set of DRs and bolt-ons it should have no problems hitting at least 11.9

I could very well be wrong however.

lemons12

iTrader: (71)

I don't think he has to worry about running into the fastest.

Just giving you a hard time with it. The majority of bolt on GTs will run low 12s with a pretty good mph. I think it will take more to get them into the 11s solidly.

Who knows though.
