I've read the threads on 2005 track times and I've read the mustang does 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds, and 0-100kmh in 6.2 seconds. Which more accurate? Has anyone actually tested in....hitting that 5 second barrier is awesome if that what it can actually do.

I haven't ran mine.....and I probably never will, but I can guarantee that it is faster than 6.2 secs 0-60. There have been plenty of time tests on this board.....and also road tests by the experts. Seems to me that 5.2 - 5.3 have been happening quite frequently.....

You misread what he wrote: he said 0-100kmh in 6.2 seconds, not 0-60MPH.

Well, isn't 100kmh=62mph? Maybe he is wondering why the drastic 1.1 sec difference from 60mph to 62 mph? If the same tester achieved both of those numbers on the same car than something is wrong with their equipment.

Either way different cars, different testers yield different results . . always have, always will. As you all know.

Yer right. I just did a conversion. To be precise it's 62.1371MPH. That is a big discrepency for just 2 MPH difference.

EDIT: Sorry...that should be a 2.1371MPH difference!

Well, that road test was done by a German magazine,

perhaps they tested someone's car and didn't want to/couldn't beat on it.

When I first starting reading about the Mustang GT, I read that 0-60 mph in 4.9 , then I read 5.2, so I think there are some diffrrent readings out there depending on who is doing the testing. Either way, it is plenty of speed for me!!!

well i havent clocked it but have gotten on her pretty hard, and I would venture to say its closer to the 5.2 if not that. Shes pretty fast. Would be faster without the rev limiter.

I got a 4.82 from 0-60 on my G-Timer. I also just butterflied the throttle. My second run as 4.75. I hope to get to 4.5 very soon :0

And different drivers. Especially if it is a manual.

If the car the German magazine tested was an automatic there could be a HUGE difference between 0-60 and 0-62.14 MPH (100 KMH).

The reason why is 60 MPH is made in 2nd gear, but it should shift to 3rd gear right around 62 MPH which could add a few tenths time, but 6.2 sec still sounds really slow. If 0-60 = 5.1 then 0-62 should be 5.3 + .3 for 2-3 shift is still only 5.6 sec.

Maybe it was a manual with a bad driver.

Yeah 4.10's in the rear probably being the most significant. I bet mileage takes a huge hit, with only a 5 spd.

Bryan what does it do if you just keep it on the floor? You did turn the torque management off right? I don't have the 4:10 yet and am wondering if it just lites up the tires and you loose time. Thanks
