Wheelspin?

This is why 0-60 times can be misleading. It's much better to compare 1/4 mile times.

[shank0668]

according to some calculater the manual ss should run 12.20

[13F20]

Edmunds as a whole is OK. Just there journalists and drivers and editors, flat out suck harry ass and balls. They are not worth shit on a boot.

All I can say is Edmunds blows!!!!! as much as I wish is was true, but you wouldn't spend that much on a mustang if you could buy a better mustang for cheaper. Does not make sense.... but we'll just leave that problem with ford as soon as our beloved Camaro (King Of Muscle) gets back on the streets.




BTW. I bet the Z/28 will be a heck of alot cheaper than the p.o.s. GT500 KR as well, and has better performance.

The Mustang may beat GM in sales, but never on the track. Since 67' the Camaro has been faster every single year of production.

Not any Z06 with a driver who knows what he's doing.

Sorry, you're wrong.

KR = $82,000
Camaro = ~$30,000
I love it.

Ring, ring. This is reality calling.

A GT500 puts down ~450 rwhp. The LS3 Camaro will probably put down ~380 rwhp with a comparable curb weight. Do the math.

People who actually race their cars laugh at talk about 0-60 times. This is why.

Did you have a brain fart? Why do they laugh? This argument you guys are having is kinda silly, why are you attempting to compare a special build rustang with the new Camaro? Is it fear? Is that what I smell???

First off guy, get your facts strait. Shelby GT 500KR specs are below, and 0-60: 4.9. Try taking another .8-1.1 off that. Not a true lover of mustangs in general but I will always defend a SHELBY. I have driven the 2007 GT500, Shelby GT, Shelby CS8 and the 1967 Shelby Cobra AC 427.

2008-2009 Shelby GT 500 KR
Specifications [4]
• Front engine, RWD, 4 passenger, 2 door coupe
• Supercharged DOHC 32 valve V8 engine
• 330 CID (5408 cc) displacement
• Power: 540 hp (410 kW) (550 CV)
• 6 Speed Manual Transmission
• 3.73 differential ratio
• 18 x 9.5" Alcoa wheels on Goodyear F1 tires (front: P255/45ZR18 rear: 285/40/ZR18)
• Tuned suspension by Shelby and Ford Racing
• 3,800 lb (1,700 kg) curb weight
• 107.1 in (2,720 mm) wheelbase
• 188×73.9×54.5 in (4.78×1.88×1.38 m)
[edit] Performance [5]
• 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h): 4.1s
• 1/4 mile: 11.92s @ 120 mph (11.58 @ 122 mph on drag radials)
• Torque: 510 ft.-lbs.

You are a damn crack head. You who made that statement.
A wise man once said, "It is better to remain silent and appear stupid then to open ones mouth and remove all doubt"

until YOU do it in 4.1, and film it, its the same as saying my buddys mini does 220 mph

No one defending the Mustang in this thread was comparing a special build with a stock Camaro; it was brought up in the OP and people were explaining why the comparison isn't even close to being accurate.

Oh, and for the record Edmunds is the most unreliable site on planet Earth when it comes to times.
