Ok...nice runs. Not even close to what evo claimed.
11.4 at 116 is not out of 5th gen range. And I wish it were different..but the L99 is down 30 hp and can not run with the 5.0 mod for mod. So comparing a stalled auto to an m6 ls3 is tricky at best, and the auto in your vid has 4.30 gears while the ls3 car had a stock 3.42. And then are we still keeping things equal with the rim/tire combination?...some people seem to think this doesnt matter and it is one of the most important things.
one person has run with 17 inch bogarts with full exhaust and tune..he ran an 11.7 at 114-117 depending on run. And we are talking about a car running IRS and 17 inch rims on a 250 lb heavier car. I am still not impressed.
Is it so impossible to believe that a 5th gen could go mid to low 11's with bolt ons as well if some more people were doing it...or at least had some gears? People act like the jury is out and hardly anyone has done a damn thing yet...
Texas speed has now gotten their stock bottom end NA pump gas 4th gen to 9.6. Take a bunch of weight out and go really fast..thats all I have seen out of the 5.0 that is really making them show a large advanatge. When you remove over a quarter ton of weight all bets are off and I am not sure why we have to see vids of this crap every day when it doesnt even remotely compare to any type of real world car. And I am sure some people understand that...but lots of people on here take what they have done as gospel/easily done.
When staying at full weight/keeping things equal the difference is not that great.
Still not sure why we should be scared.
Why are you
...because I dont beleive the EVO BS like we are sold on this website every day?
And whats up with the trap speed? I though stock auto 5.0 cars could trap 115? LMAO
I have no problem admitting the 5.0 is a better track car to start with, which is good for aboutr 1% of people who are buying this car new. It has an SRA and is lighter. But I am not going to accept that it is head and shoulders above the 5th mod for mod or stock or whatever...it is a couple tenth difference either way if both cars are hooking/both have suffiecient rim and tire combinaions/ everything is fair.
They are ~250 lbs apart with very similar power...they are going to run within a couple tenths of each other if both are hooking...the 5.0 has not been sprinkled with special pixie dust. And I am still thinking a full h/c build ls3 5th gen will out run a h/c 5.0....but we will see
