. So I disagree with thatWhen my GT was stock, I ran into a 5th gen(2014-2015 tailights) on the highway... we rolled off and I walked away from it. I would HOPE that it was stock.
Since I have started modding, I have raced a FBO manual 2014-15 5th gen(he said 429rwhp), on drag radials at the track two times one day. And won both times. We both left the line neck and neck and I widened the gap by the end. My mods on those races were catback, flex tune with 93octane, and drag radials on the rear(no skinnies on front)
Also ran a cammed, exhaust l99 automatic 5th gen on drag radials with the same mods as above and won.
So in MY personal experience, the 5th gen is slower. And thats better proof for me than something 2 other drivers did in 2 other cars.

I've never really had a problem with e85 other than comparing one engine on it vs the other not on it. That makes no sense whatsoever.......unless you can't keep up on pump.
Now....e85 is not available everywhere. Really it's very limited and does not even exist in alot of areas. That creates it's own problem.
Btw....the tests that are out there with a ls on e85 has shown good gains. So no it's not a 6gen thing.

Rental cars: both auto mustang 5.0's that I have driven were 2011 5.0 rentals. The motors are so sewing machine smooth that it's not really noticeable unless you are a car guy.
Now take a 4th or 5th gen SS and foot brake it and you would be lucky to hit 1900rpms...

Same-ish power.. close to same weight.. I have 3.15 gear. I would expect those results. I still think I would probably gain more with a stall, than you would with just a drag pack etc.. but its all good mang. Your car ran good NA. Mine seems to run better than the average 5.0 with the same mods.. a few others run similar from m6g.

Yeah it would have been.
That's shows you how little I could launch on stock wheels, I'm a stalled car cutting the same 60' as you. I'd say the new mustang is pretty good from the factory. I'd still take my chances with a drag pack, my other gears, and the 11rwhp more. No matter what, it wouldn't be much. At least not enough to say that they can't be close when you consider HP/weight. Maybe mime ran better than some or it was because it only had I think 18k miles on it at that time. Oh well, it's all good.

Well, all I can do is go by my personal real world experience.
When my GT was stock, I ran into a 5th gen(2014-2015 tailights) on the highway... we rolled off and I walked away from it. I would HOPE that it was stock.
Since I have started modding, I have raced a FBO manual 2014-15 5th gen(he said 429rwhp), on drag radials at the track two times one day. And won both times. We both left the line neck and neck and I widened the gap by the end. My mods on those races were catback, flex tune with 93octane, and drag radials on the rear(no skinnies on front)

Typically, I don't think so. Typical h/c LS1 is usually in the same ballpark as a typical bolt-on coyote. But with deep pockets and the correct know-how, yes sir. LS1 rod bolts and the like may need addressed to keep it from falling apart at that point, but they can be in the same ballpark power wise.
