Sounding like the quietest car ever made.

But unfortunately many mustang 5.0 are driven by in experienced kids who run 13s.

If I were to own a 5.0, it would be a 2014 automatic with a 3.15 gear with red paint and a Paxton
The car definitely sounded like a Prius(quiet) with stock exhaust. That is the only reason I swapped the catback. Couldn't handle the quiet.

Don't be so sure... The 12.0s are hero runs. Either way.. should be some good races going on the skreets/tracks

Nice buy, the A8 is a stout transmission. It's insane how much GM has really stepped their game up within the last 10 years, A6s to the new A8s. Far cry from the A4 stuff, a variant of the same trans though updated for 21 years. Not sure why Ford stuck the MT82s in the 5.0s and used the Tremecs in the GT500s and new GT350s. They should have took a page from the GM play book and used the Tremec in all the V8 cars. Seems every one I know with an MT82 has had nothing but issues with it.

The only reason I don't own a 5.0 is because of the MT82, have no idea what Ford was thinking with that.

Took my 16 5.0 A6 out to a rental today at RPR. Bone stock down to the filter on 20's. Couldn't deck it from the hit had to roll into the throttle. This was a 1.90 60'

They needed to make a trans with insane gearing

The automatic 5.0 is definitely the way to go

I like the new 2016! To me it's every bit as sexy as the C7 at a better price too. I want one.

Did they have to make it so shitty? Two piece forks? Plastic pads? I get that it's mass produced but c'mon. The automatics have proven to be better in every way with them, it's definitely the way to go.

Damn, funny part is that is probably one of the slow runs. Those cars are good for 116 MPH in the 1/4. Too bad RPR sucks and you cannot get a good shot at multiple laps.

Two guys have run 11.9s with a bone stock SS on factory tires so far.
