Drove a new 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 6 speed

[THEHKP7M13]

The steering and brakes are near perfection. It was a new car, so I didn't want to spin it past 4,000. It was rather disappointing up to 4,000 rpm. I drove there in my GTO and the goat is really sizzling at 2,500. Not looking to start a war here, just figured I would input my .02 cents.

Should feel faster.

Well that definitivley solves the great debate. The GTO is the better car. There was no need to open it up all the way.

And here is another! No need for further decision! /end thread





*this was the 4th to 2nd mis shift and still ran a low 11!

 

[Turk]

That GTO looks goofy.

 

[BoostedK20]

Why

 

[Turk]

Those wheels.

 

[SleeperLS]

damn, that is crucial...the dude in the background sure liked to rip on you though.

 

[BoostedK20]

To each is their own Turk!


Sure does, he's on this site

 

[SleeperLS]

haha, who was it? oh and what was your 60? that was a pretty solid launch?

 

[BoostedK20]

skyhigh or something like that. Might have been a friend of his.

shitty 1.9 and no, that car never seen a decent launch. best 60ft was a 1.6x and best et of 10.7x @ 13x on 12lbs

(owner and driver is tmbutitta)

 

[SleeperLS]

looked like a quicker 60 than that, but nice times either way. I hear those GTO's are tough to get good track times

In an auto its easy...well at least it should be, Ive noticed some have troubles. I wont name names, but its red....

GTO's will go consistent single digits w/drag bags, 100% stock suspension, drive shaft, diff, and axles ......with a lot of hp.

*perdieu on ls1gto is the original owner. This is the guy who ran this car into the nines with an all stock suspension/rear end...even after it broke shit 3x before he upgraded.

 

[SleeperLS]

I just so happen to not have 30k...but I will be more than happy to get raped by one

Damn, 9's on stock suspension? that is some f*in pah right there

so you are telling me that a quad cam 4 valve motor has less torque below 4000RPM than a big displacement pushrod? no way!!!

$10 says my truck has more torque than the new mustang at 3500RPM, TOTALLY different motors man... Apples to oranges when you are comparing power half way through the power-band between 2 cars...

Just picked up my rental in Vegas. A silver 5.0 with nearly bald tires

 

[SleeperLS]

I bet a civic could outrun my wrx under 4k. turbo doesn't kick in till 3500ish

 

[THEHKP7M13]

I want the 5.0's steering and brakes.

Did anyone really wring out a 5.0 to 7,000?

Why wouldn't anyone? Isn't that what the motor is capable of?

There was a white 5.0 at the FMS track day that Im pretty sure revved to almost 8k...it was pretty much stock too.

you realize that a brand new car lasts longer if you slightly beat on it in the beginning right? i mean taking it up to redline a few times isnt going to do shit compared to a lifetime of cold starts and idling in traffic
