v-6 mustang goes 13.7 from motor trend.

[Yaj Yak]

look out stock ls1s.

Not that the Blue Oval's new six-cylinder musclecar needs more power. Yep, you read right: We called the new 3.7 Mustang a musclecar. Now if you're reeling from the idea of a Mustang V-6 ever being labeled with that word, or if you can't believe how far that meatball just flew from your mouth, chew on this: 0 to 60 in 5.1 seconds and the quarter mile in 13.7 at 102.0 mph. The Hemi-powered 376-horse Dodge Challenger R/T isn't any quicker to 60 and is just a tenth ahead at the quarter. Moreover, the new 3.7 is nearly as quick as last year's V-8-powered GT, which put down 4.9 and 13.5 at 104.2.

now that 16 yr old girls can beat my car looks like I'm going back to stock.


But really damn that's awesome!

 

[Chrisco]

That's pretty awesome. Now... twin turbo v-6??? eh, eh, eh?

[EmersonHart13]

God my car is slow.

 

[skeezer]

Been quite a while since production LS1 cars buddy.

I would hope technology improves 7+ years later.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Who was the hater who said it wouldn't be anywhere close to a stock f-body?

 

[skeezer]

There's been stock cars a second faster than that.

 

[radioguy6]

when the LS1 fbody came out the V6 mustangs had 145HP 3.8L V6's that could barely break into the 17s.

Yea but what car is affordable to every highschool kid now? The f-body. You can pick up one for $5k these days and cruise like you're hot shit. Then the daddy girl that got a mustang for her sweet 16 just whooped your ass on the street

 

[skeezer]

NAW

 

[Bru]

Some stock LS1s run 13.8s, some run 12.8s. With all the changes over the fbody years, plus difference between auto and manual it's all over the place. With the number of miles on 10-year-old f-bodies and questionable upkeep over the years I'm sure some LS1s could be taken down by the 3.7 Mustang.

What about at mustang that's getting whooped by 20 year old grocery getters? You're comparing apples to oranges.

 

[PANDA]

What does the V6 camaro do??

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

It was an argument from another thread. I think their are even stock f-bodies on this site...or damn close to it

 

[Bru]

14.1 ish

 

[blakbearddelite]

Gosh damn, these things may even be faster than my G8

Good for Ford I guess!

But do they have 4 doors and a huge ass trunk? I think not

 

[blakbearddelite]

But now I can't be like, "My 4 door grocery getter is gonna walk all over your 'sportscar'!"

Not that I would ever say that, but I do think it.

Well, a tune and full exhaust would take care of that problem for sure.

 

[EmersonHart13]

No you are on the right track!

 

[PANDA]

Id like to see some real world numbers.

I think MT a bit hard

 

[Bru]

I would assume faster when they get it at a prepped drag strip ...

It put down 308 hp to the wheels on a dynojet, according to MT

Nutswings on who? If anything they've always seemed more import biased. I've never read an article from them that was overly enthusiastic about domestic vehicles except the new Z06/ZR1 and the CTS.

Holy fuck. And that's naturally aspirated?
