Ok I'm editing this thread to adhere to forum rules.

All I will say is these new 5.0s are extremely fast and can hold their own against supercars that cost 5-6x more, like a new 911 Turbo. This motor continues to impress the heck outta me!

 

Street racing No No. Bye bye thread

 

 

 

Who said it was street racing? Couldce taken things to the track like a sensible human...aw who am i kiddin if it was it at least on a wide open stretch of country road with no cars within a square mile?

 

dang i wish i hadn't missed this one

 

in my opinion the lighter 911 turbo with awd, and 3.8 l inline 6 twin turbo engine would win against the 5.0 mustang. It has close to 550 hp and is a serious machine with impressive track capabilities. just my 0.02$

 

As great as the new 5.0 Mustang is, I agree with the 911 Turbo being the faster car (@$$uming both vehicles are stock). A different level of performance altogether. BTW, the Porsche has a flat 6 engine.

 

According to Motortrend the 2010 Turbo does 0-60 in 3.0 seconds, 0-100 in 7.1 seconds, and the quarter mile in 11.2. That should pull a 5.0. Must have been an older one.

 

Im not sure if a blown 5.0 could take a twin turbo. Those things are as mean as it gets.

 

Of course a blown 5.0 can take it! A 5.0 with 600+ WHP would blow the doors off of it!

 

I've driven a 2007 911 Turbo fast and I've driven my '11 GT fast and I guarantee as much as I love my car that the Turbo would destroy it in a straight line and in the corners. The turbo puts the power to the ground very efficiently. It really is oh-my-god acceleration when you put the hammer down.

And I would hope so considering we're talking about a ~$150,000 car vs. $30-35k

 

Yes, the Turbo is definitely a faster car. The point I was looking to make (before I had to edit the thread) was that it's amazing how well the 5.0 held up against it. The difference in acceleration was not nearly as wide as I expected.

 

If I had the moula to spend, I would be rollin in a 911 Turbo. No question.

 

+1..........

 

911 is a 911 but I do know that the car is fast enough to beat a CTS-V, maybe not every time but it can happen

 

First, I'm as straight as the rear axle in these cars but I don't find the homophobic emoticon to be the least bit funny. The forum is all uppity about street racing but bigotry is a-ok.

And yes... the 911 Turbo of any recent generation is a dedicated super car for rich boys and it will spank a GT in any category other than price (and how much of a self important ****** you look like driving one).

If it helps anyone sleep better at night, if you put $70,000 into a Mustang GT, you would have no problem mopping the floor with a Porsche 911 of any variety...but you wouldn't have much left resembling a Mustang GT.

The format of a Muscle Car has some inherent disadvantages. They're traditionally front engine, RWD, V8, with a back seat and a LOW price tag. Given those parameters, the Mustang GT is one of the best of all time.

 

Perhaps a better way to look at it is the 911 is a better performance car while the Mustang is a far better performance value, an important and highly relevant distinction for us poor, dumb working slobs. So even if a 911 Turbo will readily put a Stang in its rear view mirror, the 5.0 motor, and the Stang as a whole, is a hugely fast and impressive piece at its price point.

 

Perfectly stated.

 

Why is it any comment that includes something related to "gays" or "homosexuals" is homophobic? I did not see any sign that there was fear in that comment. Nor was there any remark that would make the users of those emoticon's a bigot. You are brainwashed my friend.
