11.81@121mph
« on: May 18, 2012, 04:34:14 PM »
 that is the new gt500 bone stock right down to the tires. a good .3 faster than the zl1, and still .1 faster than the zl1 on drag radials.

 next up, hammer em on the 'ring, then the tracks here.  :devil

 almost forgot.....those 11.8's were in 2,000ft density altitude. imagine if it were good air. good air, and drag radials probably put this thing down in the 11.5 or quicker area.

  Pretty fast Cap!  but how many gas stations can it pass....... :devil 

     The new stangs are nice and likely much faster and handle better than the old ones but I lost interest in them after the 71 mach 1.


  Now Acura's new 276 hp RDX is more my speed these days!    maybe abit to fast for me.. :rofl :rofl :rofl



    :salute

 i forget the exact numbers, but it is still good enough to avoid the gas guzzler tax that a certain other hotrod can't avoid.

 that all said, i thought i was gonna be ordering myself an 013 boss302 tonight.

 there was a guy out in the lot drooling over my gt. i yelled out the door, as i was aligning timing marks, "37,000 and it's yours!". he looked at me, then drooled a bit more.......almost lingering like he thought real hard about it.
 if i got that much for my gt, that'd pay her off, and give me enough of a down payment that i should be able to get a well equipped boss for the same monthly payment.  :devil

Curious.  Will the gain in HP from the denser air offset the increase in drag from the denser air?

 nope. 2k density altitude should make in the ballpark of .2 difference in the 1/4. at least that's about how much it used to effect my camaro.

 the thing that got me, is the 2.0 60ft times. that is S L O W for that et. it should be more in the 1.6 to 1.7 range for 11.8's. there's no video of the runs yet, so i don't know if he was spinning off the line, or babying it......i think there's more good stuff to come from this though.

 god i wish i could afford one...........

Had 3 stangs thru the years. I'd chop off 3 fingers for a new GT.

Id like to see the zl1 and the gt500 go at it at a road course.  :D

Kinda off topic, but the boss 302 stang is awsome!

The GT 500 ain't going to touch the ZL1 on the turny tracks :)

The mustang built for turny tracks can't touch it.

 there's rumors that the two gt500's that were at the ring last year(a red one and a black one) both did in fact match, and beat the zl at the ring. one was rumored to be in the mid 7:40's, the other was rumored to be in the mid 7:30's.

 regardless of what anyone says, the shelbys will always outperform the boss mustangs. in every way.

The Zl1 has already ran the ring..

Ford has not shown much enthusiasm with their new gt500 with an attempt to compete..  :lol
