It seems like we can barely get close to a stock v6 stang even with bolt ons. That sucks.

Don't know if I would believe that nacho since they will accept whatever people type into those boxes. I would believe it if they had scanned in a time slip.

We have already won. Just look how ugly the New Mustang V6 is.

I'm waiting to see more reports from people who have been to the track and have seen the times. 13.7 at 102mph is pretty freaking amazing for that V6. If that starts to be the norm, then you got to give props to Ford. That is pretty darn impressive. I'm betting though that is not gonna be the rule, but rather the exception. I'm thinking the avg. is gonna be around 14 flat.

Agreed, 13.7xx is outstanding for the new Ford V6 motor but I won't be trading down anytime soon.

PoorMansCamaro · 06-06-2010, 08:42 PM

I'm gonna say the norm will be more like 14.5.

jagan323 · 06-06-2010, 08:43 PM

imo, thats not too unbelievable.. the Mustang is a lighter car. so... lol

ROD1 · 06-06-2010, 10:12 PM

Yeah no time slip or vid so ... not valid. Im sure it will do 14 all day long though.

deibelsan · 06-06-2010, 10:14 PM

Lighter car, better HP to weight ratio as well as torque to weight so not too unbelievable. But...its unlikely Mustangs would have the HP in '11 if Chevy hadn't pushed them to it. Competition is good for everyone. If you don't like your car then do something about it.

RED10LS · 06-06-2010, 11:33 PM

Ford can make a 400 horse V6 Mustang, I would still keep my 304 horse Camaro! I was a Mustang guy for many years but the 2010 Mustang made me

and I fell in love as soon as I saw the new camaro. Look at the Mustangs hood........cowl induction???? and the back....

The Mustang is lighter because our Camaros are heavier with awesomeness.

PoorMansCamaro · 06-07-2010, 09:29 AM

Cheap interior plastic is lighter. I'm just sayin.
