With an $80 airlid it went 13.1@109 but of course some of that gain can be attributed to experience and practice. When
Count me as one Camaro owner who is DAMN inpressed that this car is running bottom 12's with just a tire, very basic boltons and a preliminary tune. No excuses here, just giving credit where it's due. That time would rank third on this site's list of fastest bolton fifth gen Camaros and they've had the car for all of a week. It definitely suggests we will see far better than low 13's at around 110 in stock form as time goes on.

LSR performance ran a 12.61 on their VERY FIRST pass in a 2010 camaro. But yes most of the time it makes a big difference to most drivers. I have always gave this new mustang respect so dont look here for any complaints.
EVIL TWIN...I dont follow on the tire spinning thing. If they got a decent launch in the first place and were not spinning the tires before the initial 1-2 shift (spinning the whole time) I dont see how the car would be spinning much after that. My car at 435rwhp only gets a little squirly on the 1-2 shift. I can get a good chirp out of third. So I dont see how spinning would be a factor in the new mustang at stock power levels...unless you have TERRIBLE conditions...worse than a regular street which I was referring to.
Although the mustang is geared quite a bit closer...so the 1-2 shift in the stang might be a little more tricky....Ive never driven one.
But yeah good results. The exhaust is pretty much free flowing though...the factory manifolds look almost like mid lengths in my opinion...and the air intake is a performance design in itself. So it is almost equally modded compared to the bolt on LS3....and still running right with it.
Looks like us in the LS3 crowd is going to need a cam change to be comfortable NA with these new mustangs.
