The 2011+ Mustang Thread

Weird that this hasn't been posted as I know how important it is that we have the facts about everything Mustang:

Camaro outsells Mustang in August

Also some interesting posts about sales figures in the thread.

470-480 is mostly what I have read about the 2011 GT500s putting down.

the manual times with 3.73's are just a tick quicker but lose mph from hitting the limiter.

look, you arent going to find a "stat" you can point to. if he has 3.55's OR 3.73's against you modded SS he should lose. there is a large difference in wheel HP from car to car. there shouldnt be IMO. Ford doesnt certify HP levels, and they are as bad as 355rwhp to 382 rwhp with low miles. the wheel HP is pretty much identical as an average, but the car to car matchups are going to favor the one with most actual HP/weight. the stock coyote is hamstrung by the low limiter. i hit it all the time. i actually HAVE to short shift it or face a hard limiter hit.

if you are winning 80percent of the races, expecially after losing the hit, you have a large HP/TQ advantage. you do not have a gearing or weight advantage.

Also his options matter. the coyote does not have a 1000-5500rpm advantage. the LS3 torque is 20+rwtq more. if the 2011GT is heavily optioned to reduce the weight advantage any at all, it becomes far harder to get the win.


powershifting.....the coyote is a breeeze to powershift. breeze. 2-3 kinda sucks. its the one i miss occasionally.


even if he had 3.73's he should still lose. if he tunes it and mods like you, he should have an advantage. however small.

Thanks assasinator, that was the exact answer I was looking for!

An overview glance of the world's first Twin Turbo 2011 302ci Mustang 5.0 and the team that put it together! This project is a collaboration of Supercars of America, SMS, Lamotta Performance and Exile Turbo meant to unlock the potential of the most recent and already beloved pony. As stated by Michael Johnson, Associate Editor of 5.0 Mustangs and Super Fords Magazine it is truly "a benchmark car." Come take a first inside look of what happens when all these elements come together and pass through a wall of tire smoke. You might even smile. Enjoy!

nice, good numbers.

What kind of # would a Camaro make with a stock engine and twin turbos?

[franknbeans]

it's very cool, but you can make those numbers easily with a SC. . . why go through all the hassle of a Twin Turbo kit?

Wow look at the torque at such low boost! Its a real benefit to to loose the supercharger pulley that sometimes takes 100hp to turn and get some free hp/tq that a turbo gives you. I hope ford is working on a twin turbo ecoboost 5.0L to replace my SC's 5.4L Free hp and the ability to change boost on the fly in each gear is another benefit and reason why I'd size down oh and Ti-VCT.

Evolution just put a F1-A Procharger on a fully built 5.0L and it sounds bad ass on the dyno but they didnt post number's. Most people are speculating 750+ but some are saying 900-1,000 which is easy considering its not that hard to make that much on a 4 cylinder now days.

Contact Nickey and ask about their first Twin Turbo FLP Camaro.

Very surprising!! And fun to drive!!

Nickey Stage II Twin Turbo, over 600hp and 600tq on a stock LS3.

Now much weight do those Nickey Twin Turbo kits add? Thanks.

-VMP Tuning's new 2011 Automatic Mustang GT 5.0L with a RoushCharger Eaton 2.3L TVS supercharger at only 5 lbs of boost. Real world racing! driven to and from the drag strip on 18" drag radials, pump gas, stock 3.15 gears.
-Driven by Rebecca Starkey.

It looks like the 5.0L/2.3L TVS combo is kickin just as much butt as last years fully forged 4.6L/TVS running at 15psi. Too bad she couldnt get it into the 10's, maybe with better weather and a few more tuning tweaks she can rip off a 10 second pass without even changing the 3.15 rear gear. I wonder if Roush is going to run high boost fully forged with their 5.0L stage 3, if so that would be plain nuts on the streets.
