Ive had plenty of witnesses at cecil county that can back me on my claims. I have nothing to gain by bsing.

Not saying you have anything to gain. My old lady lied to me for 10 years with nothing to gain. I'm just saying the car didnt go 11.95 on stock tires. Maybe you looked at the wrong time slip. So what was the short time on this 11.95 run?

Something is most def wrong with that car. Mine is fast enough to make my passengers shut up. That car should make you pucker from the driver's seat, as well.

Same lol, took my gf's dad for a ride, punched it in 2nd, caught him mid-sentence. Didn't say another word till I let up, oh 3.73's........

2011 Kona Blue

Sounds like it may just of been. I had floored it and went from about 55 to 90 and it certainly wasn't slow by any means but it didn't give me or my wife the pucker factor that I was hoping for. I really need to be taken out in a manual and feel the difference from the auto.

it truly is amazing how the v8 guys get all pissy when a v6 guy makes a comment like this.

I'm happy with my 8, never test drove a 6, I might head in and drive a 6 manual just to see how it feels. In the end I'm sure both cars will be awesome.

Mr. V

I drove a six before I bought my gt and really liked it. The sound of the 8 was the deal breaker for me. It's like ice cream and a super model in the same bowl.

2011 Kona Blue

Lol. It's crazy because I really wasn't trying to offend anyone by my first test drive of the 5.0 and certainly don't think the V6 model is the end all be all. Like the V8 the V6 model doesn't really wake up until you hit that 4k rpm. Although with the right tune, the V6 really wakes up low end as well. The sound of the V8 is second to none and your only gonna get that from a V8. I do think that when it comes to engine and exhaust for a v6, I think the mustang sounds the best.

steven46746

Well it's just me starting a thread on how the v6 doesn't feel very fast, it's bound to start a flame war.

Xar

I'm one of those guys who just likes mustangs period, no matter what V it is.

Kabooka

Yes!

2011 Kona Blue

Amen to that. People are definitely hard core on these forums. No matter what V it is because fast is fast. For me, I don't care what engine is in there. Ford can produce a 3 cylinder Mustang. If its rocking 400 plus HP and 400 torque and getting 40 MPG highway, then sounds good to me.

I haven't ever tracked my car and for me looking to have a 600 plus HP car is not my goal. I'll be completely happy with my modded 11 sixer. It ain't slow by any means! I may track the car one time in Cecil County just to see what the little sixer will do. I would be happy being able to run a 13.2 or 13.3 in the 1/4. I think that is a realistic time with the mods on the car.

UOP Shadow

Are the GTs detuned by Ford during a break-in period like the GT500s? The day I picked up my GT500, it was SLOOOOOOOOOOOW!

steven46746

Mine seems to get better as I get a few more miles on it, could just all be in my head.

2011 Kona Blue

Now I doubt that a GT500 would be slow any time except being parked. Lol. Some reason I detect a little bit of sarcasm in there. Lol

steven46746

Think he was serious, I've seen the question come up before.
