WBT looks like you have the best of both vehicles

one thing about that car is the distinctive sound many who have not heard it dont know but they 5.0's dont sound like the older 5.0's and 4.6 liters they have that OLD sound imo

like i said im in no way a mustang or ford guy but i give my props to Ford on this one.

Really you got a Kona Blue car lol Cool its a good looking color

Thank you sir! My fav all time car is the '69 Camaro. I have dreams of a '69 Z/28 with the HO 302. Someday.....

Today, we made a few modifications to our car and again I headed directly to Milan Dragway.

Quick data - 2011 Mustang GT auto, 3.15 gear, stock airbox/filter, and the mods below. The car really needs a shorter tire or a gear.

Filled with 93 Octane, but did not update the tune as our tuner was out of the office today.

Installed the following modifications:

Stainless Works 1 7/8" Longtube Headers
Stainless Works Catted Mid-Pipe
Stainless Works 3" Catback
Cobra Jet 15 x 4 Front Wheels
Goodyear 15” Front Runners
Cobra Jet 15 x 10 Rear Wheels
BFG 325/50/15 Drag Radials (5 years old, did not hook well)

Headed to Milan Dragway at 4:00pm

Arrived at Milan at 5:15pm, 285 miles on odometer. In 4 hours, 10 quarter mile passes were made

Several 12.2X, 12.1X passes were made. The best pass of the night was 12.07 @ 116.25 mph

Car # 258

Thats a heck of a gain for just exhaust. How much are you seeing on the dyno from LT headers and high flow cats?

Now that's a ghost riding somabitch...

assasinator · 07-01-2010, 08:05 AM

i think the auto is beginning to rule. that 4.17 first gear is showing its strength. when these guys change the rear gear it will only get faster.

The new Ford Mustang is gaining on the Chevrolet Camaro for sales.
The Mustang overtook the Camaro in June. The Camaro's percentage decline in June was nearly the amount that Mustang gained in sales.
But the Camaro remain significantly ahead of Mustang for the first six months of the year.
In June, Ford sold 8,974 Mustangs, which include the new version. That was a nearly 18-percent increase from June 2009.
General Motors sold 7,540 Camaro models in June, a 19-percent decline from a year ago.
The half-time score is 46,378 Camaro models sold to 40,035 Mustangs, making it one of the races to watch for 2010.
