Yea moded gto still slower then bone stock 5.0

MauriSSio

that intake is probably worth a couple of car lengths itself.

Good runs! As said above, both cars with identical mods will be a true measure of each cars performance level against one-another. They're both great cars and will put a smile on anyone's face!

Hey guys...the GTO is mine. Now it's clear that stock for stock the 5.0 is a bit quicker...no doubt about it. The intake for sure made a difference on my car, but will benefit further with a good tune. I ran my buddies bolt on 370 in an earlier vid, and it was dead nuts before, and about a 2 car difference afterwards. I have a ton of respect for the new 5.0's, and was wondering when ford was going to make a mustang GT that could compare with the first lsx engines from 15 years ago. There you have it. Is the mustang held back in stock form? For sure. Is my GTO held back? Absolutely. Both cars have a ton of room for improvement. Both totally different animals in the way they are built. Both have the capability to beat eachother depending on mods. It's a good match-up, and that's all that was trying to be shown here.

REPCobra10

Well said. You are 100% correct in everything you said and I understand what you were trying to show here, as does everyone else, I'm sure. Most of us are all-around car enthusiasts and can appreciate any make or model getting the job done!

I said it was a drivers race, not that the GTO was faster. It could go either way, even stock.

If I'm reading this right, you're saying a stock 5.0 runs 12.2-12.5 at 114. I realize you have (best avg) listed next to it but that doesn't even make sense an average is just that, an average there is no best. Most stock 5.0's are in the 12.7 range at around 109-111 by me at sea level. A gto typically is around 109.

Thats a much closer race than a 114 trap to a 110 trap. Although the edge is still to the 5.0. Even still the "best average" 5.0 time won't best a an average gto by .5 secs. Now before Ohio comes in here spouting off how his car wen 12.2 at 114 stock... We all know it happened but then again gto's have trapped 112 stock but its not normal and certainly not average..... Is even SOME of the best 5.0's trapped 114 stock in normal weather then they would be a drivers race with a c5 z06 (115-ish stock) which is def not the case....

REPCobra10

You're definitely correct, man. 5.0's definitely don't trap 114-mph in stock form, as stated prior. That trap speed symbolizes either tuned-only traps or CAI + tune traps, depending on conditions, etc. They more often than not fall in-line with what you stated in stock form, which would be LS2 GTO territory, for sure. While I give the "slight" edge to the GT with equal mods, as compared to the GTO, that by no means it is an easy win for the GT over the GTO. You'd better bring your A-game in both cars because it's going to be close...

I have seen them trap all over. Anywhere from 110-114 bone stock. A lot depends on the GT. Base vs loaded for weight and also gearing. I never ran 12.2 bone stock as in stock tires. Just a 12.4@113. DA was also only 250 that night. The 12.2@114 was in Cecil and was negative 500 DA. Same with the auto that ran 12.3@112. I have seen some run 13.7 also though at our local track. Best seen lately from a guy was 12.6@112 with it bone stock followed by some 12.7's-13.1's. Just different drivers is all. Most guys launch to hard and soin out bad. Same goes for some the GTO's I have seen at track lately. One guy running his stock 06 and ran low 13's and managed 1 12.9@110. Another guy in a 06 as well never ran better then 14's.

Once add tune it is all in the tune. I see cars come with bama tnes and run no better then stock ones. Then others come with a Lund tune or a VMP tune and run low 12's and even 11's with tires. All tunes are not equal at all.

REPCobra10

That's true too. The tune makes a big difference on the 5.0's, as much as the driver does. Average numbers, however, don't suggest a 114-mph stock trap speed, even with a great driver...

Tell that to the ones who have done it. I did it my self in my manual car. Plenty of others as well. Is it average no..more 112 then anything.

On a bbr tune I went 12.1@116 changed to a different tune went 11.88@118 middle of summer nothing changed at all but tune. All same night with in the time it takes to load a tune.

REPCobra10

Okay...I sure will! As I said, it's not average to hit a 114-mph trap speed in stock form with the '11-'12 5.0's. Congratulations on your feat and others that you know, as well.

As said it takes good air really. Not going to happen when have crazy DA like you see in FL during summer or here in summer.

Sry but 5.0 is well ahead of a 6.0 gto it is not that close. Hell they are a drivers race with a ls2 c6 not a damn gto lol

bh353

Where do you come up with a 5.0 is well ahead of a 6.0 GTO from a roll? And a drivers race with a c6 LS2...lol

automach1

How is it not lol we are talking about a car that traps 3+mph slower on avg

bh353

Video dosen't lie..I don't care what a car runs at the track,We all know a GTO is not a track car..
