Bolt-ons v6 Mustang goes 13.1@107mph

[THE EVIL TW1N]

i found this video, thought it was pretty cool.
!
dang these new cars are getting so fast pretty soon my cobra will become a slow relic of the past!

[THE EVIL TW1N]

oh yeah i forgot to say this was on street tires and stock torque converter! its an automagic!

Nice run.

And a 13.0 @ 103 after adding 3500 stall and aluminum drive-shaft.



And another 13.0 with same mods.

He will get 12's if the wind hits just right lol.

He says the ET's are the same at Cecil and ATCO but the traps are ~3mph different. That is strange...no wonder a lot of people like to post trap speeds from ATCO hmmmm

[Sax1031]

definitely not bad for a bolt on v6

its those damned east coast tracks. Ive always wondered why camaro guys flocked there like a pilgrimage to Mecca . you have to give em credit though thats pretty quick considering he doesnt even have headers yet

He doesnt seem to think they will help much according to his posts.

Aside from it being a smaller motor and gaining less from mods....Do the v6 mustangs come with a very effective tubular manifold design like the 5.0?

But yes.....12's with simple mods on a v6 is tits.

I am hoping to run 12's with my mods....

Hoping? You should be at least mid 12s with your mod list!

Very impressive that these cars (GM/FORD/etc.) can perform this well with V6 engines.

I know.

But I dont want to expect too much my first time out and be disappointed.

I am also too scared to no lift shift....I wonder how bad this will hurt my times? I am pretty decent at launching (even without the suspension mods and when I had my p-zeros I think I had it down) and I can shift as fast as the next guy...but I have to lift.

I just cant get the nerve to stomp on that clutch with the pedal still to the floor.

From what I have gathered power shifting will keep the Average rpms about ~300rpm higher and get you ~.2 tenths at the strip all other things equal.

We will see. I am going in April or May to Milan. Should be cool weather and the track is only at 600 ft.

I'm sure you'll do fine. Have a good night at the track.
