Well 5.0s are faster stock, and they are putting down well above 400rwhp with bolt-ons/tune, which is more than enough to run mid-high 11s... I think they have the 5th gen SS covered stock and modded.

Agree.

Irunelevens

I knew we could agree on something (besides the fact that your car is ****** sexy )

yeah but anything after bolt-ons is gonna cost a shif load ...

Irunelevens

For any car. Yes you can cam an LS3 pretty easily, but you're still gonna be running bolt-on/geared 5.0 times.

When did people start freaking out over high 11 second cars?

I would have never guessed that bogarts M/t's steep gears and bolt ons could get you 11's..

Oh thats right... I did.. in my ls1 car... within 4 months of owning it.. weird...

High 12's? Ya... no bolt on car will touch that... wait a second... they do, Will, and have for... over a decade

Irunelevens

Yes, LS1s are even with 5.0s. Keep telling yourself that.

Werd. Thinking of getting back into the Mustang thing?

Who said anything about Bogarts? They were using stock 19" in the front, and stock 18" in the back. Definitely not light.

And here is the mod list...

- C&L Cold Air Intake System
- Evolution Performance, Inc. True Custom 93 Octane Tune
- American Racing 1 7/8 Longtube Headers with 3" Collector and Catted X-Pipe
- Magnaflow Competition Series 3" Catback Exhaust System
- Ford Racing 4.10 Gears
- Evolution Performance, Inc. Adjustable Panhard Bar

So... CAI, tune, headers, gears, and drag radials. I agree, my LS1 Z28 did the same thing, but that was with a Yank converter. But, we aren't comparing the 11GT to a a 98-02 LS1. It needs to be compared with the 10SS.

That 11GT is running a stock 6speed Auto and stock converter and minimal mods trapping 117-118mph.

No matter what you think, that is definitely performing! Add some "Bogarts" and an aftermarket converter and it would be EASY low 11s.

Here is an 11 second 2010 SS..

Hmm, runs just barely faster but with a cam, ported heads, and aftermarket converter..haha oops!

Now tell me that the 2011 GT is a turd.

Sorry bro, what a bummer. I've been a GM guy forever. I do love ALL AMERICAN muscle and those stangs do look pretty nice. I still won't ever buy one. I've worried about those new 5.0's myself. I guess we can't call them 5. (slows) anymore.
I actually rented a 09 6 banger stang to drive to the Keys. It was either that or a Pt Cruiser. It had a lot of go for a 6'er. I was surprised.

The old 4.0 is really slow compared to the 11' 3.7. The 3.7 is only a couple tenths slower than the 3v gt, thats pretty impressive in my book.

I test drove new 5.0 last week while my company truck was being worked on. It pulled hard, (scared the **** out of the saleswoman), and the interior is beautiful. If you drive one you will want one.

Never knew you liked it! Thanks!


About this thread, REALITY CHECK PEOPLE!!! Its a whole new ballgame and GM is loosing.....

Irunelevens

I've always said, WS6s are some of my favorite cars... LT1s are my favorite, but LS1 WS6s are gorgeous too. CCWs or any type of rim like that make them GLORIOUS

Because you see a few 13s runs, that doesn't mean they aren't 12 second cars. The magazines didn't lie.

The 2011 GT is a 12 second car. Period.

GM is Loosing??? Compare all other platforms before you make an ignorant statement like that..lets see here stock vs. stock

GMC Sierra Denali FASTER/BETTER Lincoln mark lt
Cadillac Escalade FASTER/BETTER lincoln navigator
Buick's are FASTER/BETTER than Mercury
Cobalt are FASTER/BETTER focus
Chevy/GMC trucks ARE FASTER/BETTER than ford trucks
and the Z06/ZR1 will make anything else look like KE^IN
As soon as you start seeing ford motors swapped in GM platforms you can say GM is loosing..But for now EVERYONE uses a LSX/SBC/BBC in there Desert/offroad-Hotrod-street rod-import-lowrider-and yes MUSTANG to make it run good and go FAST..NOT a ford motor...What is fair to say is the new mustang is slightly faster than its direct competitor the Camaro, But that is only an LSA/LS7 fix away...Get off of the 5.0's nuts...geez

Ke^in

I think he was referring to the pony car wars.

But if you wanna get smarmy about it, Ford didn't need a gov bailout

And is doing better financially that the other two big three.

BTW I find it amusing when people use terms like "rape" "butt ****" and other sexual crimes to describe a car being faster than another. It says a lot about their psyche.

Good one ...You got us with the ol' bailout..does that upset you? I like it that Ford fanboys taxes went to bailout GM..haaa ..HOWEVER they build/ finance there cars/trucks they are still BETTER/FASTER than ford..join a economics/political forum if you want to talk Gov't finances.

-*fixed*I think of a loud mouth punk inmate in prison who deserves to be raped/bf'd when I here those terms used..very deserving vigilante punishment for a molester/rapist..as far as my psyche...I feel good knowing MY car maker of choice is DOMINANT in every category...

Geez, the 5.0 is sweet and all but some of you guys are putting 1000's on it! I mean, 11's bolt-on only, 10's bolt-on + weight reduction, 10's bolt-ons + nitrous is fantastic and all but it's not like the LS1 didn't set that benchmark a long time ago. Deep down I think we all know the LSx platform ("outdated" and all) is still just as capable.

Are you for real?? I mean could you please go back and re-read carefully what this thread about? Im talking about the muscle car/pony car segment of the market. In that segment GM is LOOSING....badly. Guess the ignorant here is you, who cannot even follow a thread. Guess reality is too much for some to handle.
