You're only running 11's right? Piece of cake for a 5.0 with very few mods.

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.

Lemons get out of here with your common sense
What do you consider "bolt-ons" ? You should walk one if you are stalled and cammed so on and so forth but it you are truly just "bolt-ons" like exhaust etc. then you might have a hard time. Definitely get it on video and post it either way!

Smith ran a 12.3 in the 2011? What did he run on street tires?
A bolt on body will lose to a bolt on GT. I can't wait to see what the average will be though.

I saw what I can be certain was a 2011 GT just yesterday morning. It was a white(black top) convertible and I thought 2005-2010 at 1st glance, but as I passed GRANDMA, it was glaring "5.0" on the fender and I thought... OH! There it is, for sure. It looked really good cruising down the hwy. She "blipped" on and then off the hwy and I wasn't about to try racing. I was in an SUV and my only concern was getting home because I was on the road for the last 4+ days and missed "momma."
I'm honestly guessing that the woman behind the wheel was 50+... Certainly not old enough to be MY grandma, but someone's!
As for getting caught racing... DON'T street race! That settles it. I remember many yrs ago, a friend of mine was ticketed for "impeding traffic" after he was caught losing a street race. The cop made a joke of him, but it was far less expensive than the tickets he SHOULD have gotten.

Probably a drivers race but I doubt my friend will be able to drive the car to its full potental since its new. Either way, I should take him off the line with DRs.

I doubt a stock one will get out of the 13 's here in Las Vegas.
I will wait and see at the track.
I know a guy with a California Special. Stickered at nearly 40k.
I just picked up my 03 Z06 w/9kmi for 29......You do the math.
ummmm oh yea.....Bring it on !

I feel like this car is going to be slow in a lot of people's hands when they first get them. A lot of people can't stand the thought of turning a engine past 6000 rpms and these engines have to turn close to 7000 rpms to get the most out of them.

I thought the title of the thread was "Has anyone run a new 5.0??", not "All the nutswingers continue to argue about the mustangs performance". We got it guys, the car is fast.
All you 5.0 fanboys need to take a chill pill. Have any of you even driven the new 5.0 yet?? Or is every argument you take on meerely based on internet facts of what other shops/ pro drivers ran?? The OP was asking if anyone has driven the car, not, will the 5.0 go 11's will bolt ons.
There needs to be no more threads involving the 5.0 at all because people just start posting all there facts of hear say and arguing of how this new 5.0 is the holy grace of any motor ever built. IF YOU HAVEN'T RUN A NEW 5.0 YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS RESPONDING TO THIS THREAD.

Wow did you really just do that? You are trying to compare a car that is 7 years older and it has no warranty anymore or anything vs a brand new car with less that 10 miles on it and it comes with a warranty lol

its pointless to try to convince people about how good a mustang it on an lsx website.
people can believe whatever they want, but give it some time and there will be more vids on youtube of them racing different cars, some will win, some will lose.
I dont honestly see a bone stock mustang gt losing to a bone stock 4th gen though....im sure due to driver error it could happen, but 9/10 the 5.0 will win.
no one can say for sure how they will keep up mod for mod though, that will just have to be seen.

Why do so many newbies complain so much? Answer that one...
