Default Beating the 05' mustang

How badly have u guys beat the 05'-09'(or whatever yr they stopped producing these models)? Just curious cause I ran into one with the shelby body kit last night and i was on the freeway doing 70 in 3rd when we took off, he took the jump cause my horn wasn't working but i slowly crept up in 4th(about half a car ahead of him) and missed 5th(due to my damn b&m T-bar handle loosening up while shifting hard) clearly i was winning but i just hope he didn't get his hopes up and thoguht he won cause of my shifting. But yeah I beat him with the mods i have in my sig & no tune, plus i have a small misfire going on so i'm pretty happy...and btw i don't ever usually race on the streets but this guy looked pretty cocky with the way he was driving his car

An LT1 with bolt-on should not have a problem walking a stock or bolt-on mustang like that

My last car 95 m6 t/a had a k/n, hurst short throw, and a borla catback. I dogged one at the track with I,h,e and tune. With horrible traction problems. I dogged my friends srt4 from a 20 that dogged on an 06 gt with an exhaust. MORAL OF THE STORY there slow. No 5.0 no care...

Those things are slow, but don't screw with the 2011s.

The 2011s are pretty quick stock, but a cammed LT1 can keep up with them.

my buddies '08 gt put these numbers down on a mustang awd dyno

untuned w/intake and no mufflers:
239whp
259ft/lbs


long tubes, off road x-pipe, no mufflers, k&n intake, tuned
276whp
295ft/lbs

his best time was like a 13.8 when he was at 276whp. then he crashed it into a tree and is now a proud owner of an LS1 Trans Am that runs 13.4's.. hahah

Did you bother to use the threadlocker B&M supplies? Sounds like you haven't, as it would be damn near impossible for it to come loose.

Your location to me is hilarious also as that is where I destroyed my first 05+ Mustangs, on one occasion with three other people in the car. They are slow, all I had at the time were bolt-ons. Shorty headers, JET stage 2 chip and Granatelli MAF, looking back you can see my self sabotage and the poor Mustangs still stood no chance.

Nice SR&K story
I beat my friends 05 m5 GT (catback, cai, hand tune) when I was bone stock. Highway rolls aren't even fair for mustangs, especially at 80+ like mentioned above ^

lol true, but it's also hard to determine how far u need to go in a streetrace, in a 1/4 we usually top out in 4th so in my book i won.. i was ahead of him by half a car and still going......it was clear that i was pullin even when the mustang got the jump on me, i just wanted to throw it into 5th to get that extra car length lol...but yeah win/lose it's whatever i just know that I was pullin on him

I had a 96ish GT run up on me on the highway, I had my 396 then. It wasn't fair I think I pulled him in 4th.

Even some of the strong running new edge sn95's don't have a chance when above 80. Its funny to watch these mustangs give a good fight for 1- maybe 2 gears then they are done. lol
