If you want to split hairs though, then that's fine. Everyone knows that the a8 runs better than the manual. Everyone also knows that with a tire that you can launch harder. So there's no "what it's" that the a8 is faster, I only asked his opinion how he thought he'd do.
Are you always so serious?

It does matter how often you race your car, because I'm at the track enough that I know what these cars run compared to each other. I'd say someone that is involved with that, at least has a better idea than the ones that don't.

Maybe you don't understand what bench racing is. But talking about potential results of certain cars with x options and y mods, cutting x 60's with z drivers, blah blah... That is bench racing. Having track experience in your fbody doesn't change that. Sorry buddy.

Lmao, not sure why you took my original post so personal. I didn't even quote you.

My fbody has nothing to do with why I made that statement, so you can leave it alone, you don't want any of it anyways!
I was talking about watching these particular cars run all the time at the track, in stock form, to modded. So I can make a knowledgeable bench racing assumption just like anyone else that does it. I know my original statement wasn't a bench racing remark, that was what the joke was about when I made my original response to you.

The problem i see here poppa is you keep comparing your times to a stock sexgen. A sexgen with similar thought out mods as you will put you needing a converter to keep up. Think about it.
-100 lb with some of it alot of it rotating like you
Catback....hp ?
E85....seems to be about 30hp
Drag pak with a dr
They don't seem to need much for suspension but lowering it a little could help mph a little.
6gen stands to pick up .5 with just those mods. And that's probably conservative.

Wherever you are at is producing good times. He would have ran right up near the top of the list for a manual car.
So in turn a drag pack a8 would run high 11s all day in this same area and same night. Right in line with you.
E85 and tune would go right near the ~.5 stock gap imo. Other than the 35rwhp increase you got removed TM and quicker firmer shifts. Suspension mods and cat back may help a touch as well. At most with bolt ons I can see the 5.0 closing the gap a tenth or two.
I just don't see how they will run equal with equal mods. Not on the same track same day with equal launch. You had trouble with a stock tire manual bro.
Not sure if you've been looking lately but the 6gen doesn't need negative DA to hit 11's. One has done it in low positive DA. We have also had a few lately come very close in +1-2000DA. The latest was a guy who just ran 12.2@115 in 91 degree heat and a 1.9 60 ft. Bone stock. He would get the 11 second slip with just a better launch.

A8's are known to run better, so I was just wondering how you think you'd do against one on a tire. I wasn't trying to be an *** in any form, just an honest question. So if this guys car ran on the faster end of the manual cars, and your car runs on the faster end of the coyote's, what do you think yours would do against an A8 stock 6th gen on a tire that runs on the faster side of them?
Thanky mang.
Thanks!
I needed drivermod on our first run not shifting the damn car to 2nd Dammit... that would have been a good run... me in front of course.

Never mind. You speculated that you would have still beaten this guy if you ran the full 1/4, the a8 are known to be faster than the manual, and you won't "speculate" on the a8 like you did the 1/4.
It was an honest question at first, because knowing that the autos run better and you had ran the guy at least twice, I would have an idea, or my opinion if I could beat one that's possibly .2-.4 tenths faster. Now it's just ridiculous that you won't give your opinion in that, but have no problem giving how you think every other race will go against your car.
It's OK though, I think I know your opinion on it now. Not really even sure why I asked now

Poppa, why would you wait for the new year Mustang when you're going to go turbo anyways? Add a couple extra PSIs and you'll make up for what slight difference in power there will be for a 2018 mustang..

Seems like a very unnecessary purchase but if you can swing it then shoot, more power to ya lol.

I must say as far as new cars go those $40k s550s with Roush blowers and a warranty are enticing as far as a daily goes. $41,200 for a 6r80 and a few other small desirable options and I'm golden.

Very true! If I was in the market for a new performance vehicle, I'd be looking very hard at those $40k Roush Mustangs.

2018 mustang gets an active intake manifold with flaps the open/close by an electric motor. It will be interesting if the aftermarket can unlock the controls for that and use to tune.

I thought they had some sort of active intake now.
Poppa....I already said you need totake a look at the gearing splits. Your 2mph advantage in the 1/8 may not mean **** in the qtr. The 6gen likely back halfs better since they seem to run your mph in the 1/4 stock.
