200ft lol! No wonder, we race in 2000 to 3000ft around here in the summer! This fall has been nothing but rain and I been to busy to hit the track, but the DA gets good here in the fall, if I ran at 200ft with tires I would be running bottom 12s too!

You don't under stand I did that with no other mods. Just tires. Show me a 5th gen that has did that. No othe rmods but tires and went bottom 12's. I care if you find one that has -2000 DA. Even with our 2900+ DA of summer I still went 11's. Hell it was 3200 and I went 11.9@117.

I cant show you that, no one has tried! And even the few that have put tires on a stocker cant drive worth a ****! Like I said before, I have NEVER seen a bolt-on stang run even 11.90s with tires, not saying you didnt or it cant be done because I am sure it can, but on avg. they run low 12s! I personally dont care that the 5.0 is a little faster, I am happy with my car and how it performs! All I need is tires and I am running with every 5.0 stang I have seen at the track in person with drag radials and bolt-ons and at this point thats good enough for me.

damn the TC in the stangs does hardly anything at all. In my car its a big difference to say the least even shifting from 3rd to 4th it will cut power and bog it, lol.

I know i'm out of my leauge here but My G8 GT CAI and dynoed by livernois and i ran a new 5.0 automatic and the local 1/8th mile track. He said he had the same mods but instead of a dyno tune a hand held. and i got him by .12 sec not counting the diff in reaction. i'm proud for the stang they finally got something thats fast and likes mods. I have always loved the mustang vs camaro rival 
i'm glad its back.

i'm glad its back.The only reason you think your out of your league here is because you just read more fairy tales than at a Grimm's convention. THERE NOT REAL.
Your post is believable and probably the truth, but I have to say it really doesn't fit this thread. If you edit your post and claim to beat him by 2 seconds in the 1/8 it would fit right in.
Oh it wouldn't hurt to start it with "Once upon a time" like the other posts should have started with. Here's an example.
Once upon a time I had a 10 second car with only bolts on's. It was powered with fairy dust and had ginger bread wheels.

My latest experiences with the 5.0:
A buddy of mine ran a 12.9 bone stock on the stock CS tires. It's a 6 speed with a 2.1 60'.
Also I saw a modded CS running 12.1's at the track. It was a 6 speed on a tire with at least a catless mid, mufflers, tune and intake. Not sure about headers.
They are quick cars but I still have not witnessed one live up to the hype. In comparison my stock LS2 Vette on an ET street with a basic tune went 12.48, same as my full bolt-on LS3 SS.

It's always the same with Ford. They slip the press/car mags a ringer car for the promotionals and every FoMoCo fanboy has the new Mustang running 9s with CAI exhaust and tire. The only exception to that seems to be the new Shelby. People that can afford the new Shelby can afford to sue Ford for false performance claims.

Really??? Give me an example. If i can remember correctly, Al O. was talking out his *** about the ZL1, Z06, and ZR1 only TO FIND OUT THE ZL1 IS NOT THE GT500 KILLER IT WAS INTENDED TO BE. I actually love the way SVT is carrying on about their business and not talking ****..and thats coming from a GM homer.

Ok, is that as bad as GM not testing the ZL1 against the GT500 @ Inde? Considering Al O. promised it would kill the Shelby. But it was more convenient to try the Boss LS since it was down 140hp. That kinda reminds me of a guy talking smack to another guy only to pick a fight with the smaller brother knowning he would win....

The point is Chevrolet isn't selling the car based on performance that you can't get off the show room floor. And as it stands now Ford is trying to market the Shelby versus the Zr1 Corvette anyway. When the ZL1 productio was announced Ford imediately started the new motor program to get the Shelby to 650hp at a much higher price. Should Chevy run the Zr1 with the same power, 400 lbs less weight and a wider tire, against it the Shelby is toast. Market segment wise the Leguna Seca Boss is the competition for the ZL1 now.
