Finally got to detail my 'vert today for only the second time since I bouhgt it almost 2 months ago. She was looking good, so I figured I'd see if I could find any cruise-in action.

The weather was perfect tonight; clear and 76 to 80 degrees, and the 5.0 was sounding great. Yeah, it's much easier to love the 'vert under such circumstances! Ahhh.....

Unfortunately, there was hardly anyone at the normal cruise-in spot. I saw multiple convertibles of all makes out on the street, but there was only about 3 or 4 Mustangs (two '65 'verts, plus a '71 Mach-1 that I recall, plus a totally stupid (meant in a good way) Mitsubishi Evo that was modded to 33 psi boost and just today was dyno'd at 563 WHP. (Rear WHP? How DO they measure those all-wheel drive cars? I forgot to ask the guy).

Dunno why the cruis-ins are dry lately (they have been all summer here), but it was still a fun evening to drive around. Anyone else enjoying their 'verts or coupes on a Saturday evening?

 

its wheel hp. its just all wheel hp with evos and such.

 

A few hundred miles from you, but equally nice weather. An absolutely wonderful evening. This is the whole reason I bought this car

Happy cruising all

 

Cruise-Ins are in full force here in Ohio!

 

I know I started this thread, but:


Feel free to post pics of your 2010+ at a cruise-in or show - I can live vicariously through your photos!

 

There are AWD dynos, and if he really is pushing 33psi, that's a pretty low wheel hp figure...

 

He has just four cylinders and that's a low WHP number? Over 560? Yeah 33 psi is a LOT but so is 560 out of just 2.2 liters (or whatever the displacement is). He said that the newer cars with the aluminum blocks (his is iron) can't come close to the pressure he is running.

 

Boost is just a number..... Restriction, blah blah blah. Air flow is what it's about, 33psi from a 60mm turbo and a 91mm turbo would be two completely different things.

Don't fret over xx psi numbers.

 

Not to mention Muscle > Rice every time!

 

I meant for an Evo, if he's really running that much boost. But then it depends on the dyno, weather, tune etc. Yeah he has a small engine, but I cousin used to work at a local speedshop which specialized in Evos and Subarus. I'd like to know more about that car, just for kicks.

 

Where in SE VA? I just spent a week in Chatham. I got there a week ago Sunday and they told me I missed a monster cruise in on Saturday with 250 cars....
