And the Mustang guys should thank the GTO guys who started the "muscle car" off.

Kilkare was stupid busy last night so 2 passes were not enough to not screw one of them up All we learned from going to the track is that the car gets too good of gas mileage lol. We still had a 1/2 tank of 87 when we got there so we just ran it like that.

13.75 @ 106
14.0 @ 106

The traction control wasn't completely off the first pass so it bogged like crazy and the 2nd pass he missed 3rd. Driven well I can see low 13s but unless it picks up a good bit of power with 93 octane another 6mph is a little ways off.

We put 1/2 tank of 93-octane in today (I got it down to only 10 miles left on the tank of 87 so it's pretty pure) so dyno #s and with any luck more track times yet to come today

Really? You want to stick by that "estimate"?

No offense intended, I simply can't think of a more PC way of putting it. Sorry.



Even Smith went 12.69 at Gainsville in Florida, not Atco. He certainly can drive.

The quickest bone stock GT I know of went 12.58 (curiously enough) too. However, it will be fall before we see some good times from these cars. There were simply not enough of them out before the summer weather hit.



Over a brand new, bone stock GT? I would hope so! Your mods (the ones that actually increase performance):

Stainless Works 2" Long Tubes, Flowmaster AT Cat-Back, Cold Air Inductions CAI, SLP UD Pulley, Hurst Short Throw, RevXtreme Catch Can,
Dyno tuned at Stenod Performance Mustang Dyno
435RWHP 418RWTQ

Given your mods, I'm not sure what your point was in saying that you would "walk away" from a bone stock, extremely low-mileage 2011 GT.



I think most folks would agree with that. I know I do.

I hope everyone enjoys their cars - no matter what it may be.

I never tried to pass off the corrected time as the official one...I was just giving all the information.

If you would have read my posts and or the ones before it you would know why I compared my car to a stock GT. Hopefully I can still walk away from one after it is broken in....LOL (my car had 700 miles when it was dynoed btw)

Sorry about the misquote on Smith. I thought it was ATCO. Every time I have heard of from the stang lately has been from ATCO.

Yeah I seen that 12.58 out of the stang. I think he had a 1.8 60ft and so did Smith. If someone could pull a 1.8 60ft with the camaro we may see 12.3-12.4. The IRS has something to say about that on stock tires though. Either way...I am still waiting to be blown away...

That would be easy, just take the stock 5.0 and put 200lbs of cement mix in the trunk.... Doh......

More like 250lbs.....

[chevydude26]

the gt500 is an awesome car

[Huggerorange73]

Well that's it......it's hopeless for us LS3 guys.

I'm turning my Camaro into a coffee table and buying a 11' GT.
