The 2011+ Mustang Thread

[IOM Hokie]

This is the same guy that last week was using my pics as both his avatar and signature. I was reading through a thread and saw pics that looked amazingly familiar. He had taken all the pics from my garage and posted them as his own. When I called him on it he put up the Boss Mustang garbage.

lol Japan. The exterior was designed by a very talented designer from Korea Sang Yup Lee. He's a really cool guy and has some awesome talent. It was designed here in the U.S.

Allow me to feed the Camaro vs. Mustang fires.

Pedders has been working with Saleen for just over a year to build the best looking and best handling Mustang on the planet. Every S281 or S302 leaves the Saleen facility with coilovers and cambers plates. The collaboration between Pedders and Saleen created the possibility of a special model. The new Saleen SR would be road course ready from the Ford showroom. Pedders USA Camaro pulls 1.384 Gs on a road course on street tires. It is fast, very fast. The Saleen S281 SR is just as fast and maybe faster. We can't give you all the details at this time, but we can give you a look at the car.































Both cars look great. Only one will be the FASTEST. We'll put them on track for the press and find out which car has the best 0 to 60 and back to 0. Which car has the fastest 1/4 mile. Which car pulls the highest Gs. Which car is the fastest around the road course along with reams of data. What are the tire temps? How hot are the rotors? Were corner exit speeds increasing or dropping lap after lap. At the end of the day we will know which car is FASTEST, so will our friends from the press and so will you as soon as they tell you about it.

dear lord that ass end is ugly. the rest looks good.

[All-Or-Nothing]

From experience I would concur.

That saleen needs some type of spoiler, the back looks like a boat. If it had a little wing on the back I think it would look a lot better.

Too bad it is the old 4.6 and not the new 5.0.

I didn't think it was possible, but they made the back end look worse.

but its the old 4.6 with a supercharger putting out about 475 to the wheels. the 5.0 tranny has been reported as not being able to take much more than that anyways.

i am so lost as to whether go with the Steeda front fascia/hood or the saleen fascia/hood, both look oh so good.

Too bad, more like who now cares about the comparison using the gone forever 2010 4.6L and 5 speed.

Let me know if you ever decide to make it fair and use a 2011 5.0L 6 speed

Fair? These two cars run dead heats. I know. I have tested data logged both of them. You would be sorely mistaken to think this is not a fair match up. These almost perfectly prepared cars. It has take us a year to get them both this way. There is no way you throw a new car on the track and get results like this. In the racing world the first year a car runs it a shake out year. The second and third are the money years.

This is a more than fair match race. This is a war between a pair of well prepared equally matched examples of Detroit Iron.
