It'llrun

Nitrous has been a basic mod for nearly 4 decades... just depends on which group we're viewing. I won't be going out to get a new Mustang, but if I did, nitrous would be a "short order" mod in my book. I don't know why you'd think many won't use it... They've been using it since the 80's and I don't recall any time since then when it wasn't a common addition. Not everyone wants it, but I'm expecting over 100,000 of these cars to hit the streets just this year. Of those, if 5% use juice, that's 5,000+ we can expect to HAUL down the track. They'll only be running 11's in most cases, but that's pretty good for a single mod(plus tires of course).

Me... I'm more interested in seeing people get into the engine and dropping compression to the point it will handle a blower or turbo. I already know what to expect with nitrous, but the others will send that car into the 8's or quicker at some point. That interests me.

Could you put those words into a sentence?

nitrous done right is as safe as n/a. **** its more oxygen not nitroglycerin.

Well i'll give you that much, ofcourse there is some technique involved with launching, after all an automatic car can spin the tires too right. But after that, it's pretty much mash and go.

I still like the looks of the rear even though no one else seems to. I wasn't too thrilled about the 05-09s. I understood retro sold. It looks as if they took a 04 and a 05 body and meshed them a bit.

I love everything about the style of the 2010 Mustang. The 2011 is just a win win win win win win all around so far IMO. If I could afford one I would be in one.

Stop, you want to run a car for me? I am dead serious... It is a 95 5.0, not completely sure on mods.
He "says" it makes 500HP.. Don't know if he is claiming Rw or crank, likely crank. Manual (I know because I got made fun of for having a girlie auto in my stock 250Rwhp (at best) car).

He is in myrtle beach.

He says it has 250Rwhp, it is a stock car with 100K+ miles on it. He is just assuming ****, he has not a clue what my car has or what it runs.

PM coming.

I wish to meet up with a new 5.0, one guy ran his at the local 1/8th mile track it was running high 8's low 9's it was a M6. One of my foxbody friends knew him and I was making fun of mustangs and without even asking what I had he asked if I wanted to race him because he had a little sand in his vagina.

My car on a bad day in the 1/8 run7.8 at 90 mph so I was like lol dude I am teasing buddy. My friend explained what was up with my car, the 5.0 owner got really cool after that. They seem to be quick cars I am thoroughly impressed but the attitude of some of the owners seems to rub me wrong.

Also the chick driving that mustang anyone know is she single lol... just playin haha good to see the ladies comin out to play at the track.

GTO is barely heavier then the new 5.0s and other mustangs. Its actually couple hundread pounds lighter then the gt500s. GTO's are pigs compared to your Vettes thats really it... otherwise they are right in the avg weight for newer sports cars.

The new 5.0 is within 50-100lbs of the GTO... Stock weight for a GTO is 3725 (A4) + 175lb driver your talking 3900lbs. vs 3800lbs 5.0. Thats 100lbs = 10hp/0.10/1mph. The fbodies and especially vettes will have a true weight advantage over the GTO and 5.0 (most modern muscle cars actually). From what have been told there isnt a huge amount of weight reduction left to do in the fbodies. or vettes. Its fairly easy to shed weight off the GTO... just depends on how extreme you really want to go. I personally wont remove the crash braces, a/c, back seats just to get weight down cause I DD mine. I want lighter wheels, tow/v brace removeal, aftermarket exhaust, lighter battery moved to the trunk and maybe a few other small things to drop 100-200 lbs.

Now the new Camaros, chargers, challengers, gt500s, roushs are what I consider slightly pigish. In the end newer sports cars are just being designed heavier...

Thats all you because I won't have my car down there next week. I will be in the Mach. We were going to take my car but once she remembered I have no A/C that idea was quickly changed. I don't care either way really. And we are leaving on the 23rd BTW. Why didn't you just wait and come the last day of the thing?

unit213

Agreed...but it depends on the car in question. For example, it takes no skill (IMO) to get an 11 second LS1 down the track with a 4L60e. Now try getting a car that runs 6.50 @ 215mph with a powerglide down the track. For basic setups, there is nothing
to it with an auto...just stab and steer.
