If that mustang had a normal driver it would've been a better run for him. Nice vid

Damn, imagine what that 5.0 could do if it was 500 pounds lighter and had a automagic

Looks like you pulled up on him op. You started a little behind him and ended up even.

Good runs OP. I say the 5.0 still needs a driver mod.

That's a badass 5th gen.

600+whp N/A through a stalled 4L80...awesome.

Looks like the mustang is slightly faster but cant handle the shifts. In this particular situation, id rather have the fifth gen over the 5.0. Stalled auto n/a running that hard is def more my cup of tea then just another supercharged car

Come to your own conclusions I guess. I didnt know if it was a W or a L till I saw the video, but it is what it is.

If the 5.0 drive was clutch and could shift gears, my guess is he has you by about a car length to a car and a half in that same race. But like you said, its simply my conclusion. In this particular situation, i like your car a lot more.. regardless of if its slower or faster. An all motor stalled auto going that fast is awesome. The 5.0 is just another supercharged car in my eyes.

We had a rematch tonight. 5.0 trans was fixed, I added my 3.91 gears, and he also added a bigger throttle body to his previous 702whp setup. The results are as follows (a W for him, by a nose @ 140)
Do either cars have roll cages to comply with NHRA rules?

Do most people care about that stuff?

Both are strong running cars! The auto's advantage is apparent...

That is the prime reason why I want to do the auto swap on my Z06.... Proof is in the pudding...

The Camaro is bad *** for its weight...

I have a 6pt +kirkey & backbrace, 5pt harness, SFI stuff, etc. Mustang does not.


Gonna have to do some more cagework soon too, since I expect to go faster then 10.0 next time out
