HERE IS THE TRUTH ON MINE....

FUNNY THING IS MY Z06 HAS 9000 MI ON IT AND IS WARRANTIED TO 72 K OR 6 YRS. Oh and each car "IS WHAT IT IS !!!!" haha.

 

You still cannot compare a 7-8yr old car to a new car, especially when they are in a completely different class.

 

i seen one round my neighborhood. its black. sounds good.
i cant wait to come across it with my 3rd gen

 

Notice: this is a BENCHRACING thread. . . and of corse theres going to be arguments esp. when most are baised toward whichever car they like/dislike

 

7>6= warranty expired . . . unless you purchased some kind of extended plan

 

Yeah the "driver mod" in an Auto is pretty handy alright.

 

Once again i purchased a 6 year 72 thousand mile warranty. This is on a car that has 9 thousand miles on it.
I bought the car last week.

Enough already this is about the 5.0 ford on LS1TECH.

 

I ran a new 5.0 a few weeks ago, in my Mustang. Wiped the floor with him.

 

Mid 11's.

Exhaust, cai, tires and tune are basic.
Blower, not even close to basic
Nitrous is debatable, but I don't consider it basic. Anything that has the potential to destroy your motor isn't what I consider basic.

 

It can surely make a difference. My auto netted a 15.2 on the 1st pass and a 14.6 once I figured out to shift on my own, and when.

Out of curiosity, was the warranty an addition to the 29K? I'd not have purchased it just because they rarely cover anything worth mentioning.

Nitrous is a true bolt on part/system and only takes a few hours.

A misfire can destroy the engine. Hard driving can destroy the engine. Lack of maintenance will. Time will definitely destroy an engine(if it's being used). I get your point and basically agree, but then...

 

Ok. It's kind of crazy, but mid 11's are nothing these days for street cars.

Do you consider a tune a basic mod? You should...because it is...and a bad one can kill an engine very quickly. I think you need to put a little more thought into
what you consider a basic mod.

 

Perhaps we have different opinions on what a basic mod is. Imo, a basic mod is something that is relatively cheap, easy, and safe. i.e. boltons. A tune is a basic mod and is safe if done by a trustworthy tuner, which is the only way it SHOULD be done. Nitrous on the other hand can be done 100% right, and still screw up your motor. As for a blower, well, that's almost as far from basic as you can get.

I'm not trying to fight with you, because I know you know what you're talking about. Chances are you've just been around more highly modded cars than me, and are just at a different level. For me, a low-mid 11 dd street car is pretty damn fast. Anything that's 10 and under as a dd is ridiculous, in a good way.



That's true, but I've just never seen nitrous as a basic mod since it's not constant horsepower. I've just never been much of a nitrous guy. I'm making roughly to the wheels what a 2011 gt is making to the crank. With enough nitrous, I'm sure one would beat me. But of all the people that are going to buy the new mustang, I doubt many will put nitrous in it if it's their dd.

 

 

ok, so a great driver got it down to a 12.3 on DR's.. it's still not a low 12 second car off the showroom floor.

same type of driver took a bone stock 06Z06 with DR's to 10.74 @ 129.5 but that doesn't mean it's the norm.. a C6Z06 is not a 10 second car off the showroom floor, even though it's been done.

 

Actually, that is the definition of what a car is capable of. The other times are what the drivers are capable of.

 

Who gives a **** just spend more money if they even beat you. and mop the ******* new 5.0 owners, end thread.

 

 

Because you've never seen people mess up auto runs? Really?

What if they spend EVEN MORE Money. What then?

 

Don't question his intelligence, he is superior to ALL.

 

Is just amazed that people think you just mash the gas on an auto and can get consistent numbers every time. Are they more consistent that MTX cars? SURE! But it still takes skill.
