That's a 2007-2009 GT500.... ****!

Isn't it funny how many times people guessed 12.8 @ 110?

I am not surprised about the 1/4 mile time, but the 0-60 really impresses me. I wonder what it'd do with 3:31's. I'm thinking 0-60 4.5 and 1/4 mile in 13.0 @ 109 MPH.

07-09's trap 115ish, if they clocked 12.8 they blew it off the line.

In my 07 GT, I went .5 quicker in the 1/4 from 3.55 to 4.10....

Then I don't know what to say in that case.

The trap speed versus ET indicates they hooked... so not much better I think.

a 12.8 @ 110 is like a 2.0-2.1 60'

evan smith can do (and has done) 1.8s and 1.9s on the OLD stock street tire

even ive done a 1.88 on my street tires

I beg to differ, that trap speed indicates a better ET, the 2003 cobra was one that most mags ran 12.8-13 with 109-110 traps, yet even smith put it in low 12's.

Currently Motortrend, Edmunds Inside Line, and Autoblog have up their reviews of the 2011 Mustang GT, and Autoblog also has a review of the new V6 Mustang. Any others?

Not to split hairs, but 110 isn't 110.8. I see that as 111.

"our test car recorded maximum lateral acceleration of 0.96 g and 60-to-0 braking in 104 feet. Not even a feathery Mazda MX-5 Miata (0.91, 120) can match those numbers. And for all that, neither can our long-term BMW M3 (0.94, 105)"

From the motortend V6 test, pretty **** impressive!

I had a mature conversation with some other members of this forum and they swore up and down gears would only be worth .1 on these cars. My old 94 GT picked up .3 going from 3.08s to 3.55s. I was guessing the newer 4.6 would do the same or better.
