I love Mustang just like you bro, but they aren't going to run a magazine time lower than a 13.2 and by the time these things are on the streets many Z's will be faster. Figure most people on this forum have CBE's HFC's intakes and maybe even a tune. Mustang guys will rush straight for CBE's and I don't see that helping them much. The new Mustang will be slower than the new Camaro, it always is, it'll overall be a better car, but I firmly believe that 99.9% of them I'll ever see I would be able to take.
It's been printed a few times that the all aluminum 5L will not add to the weight of the car, so expect the same roughly 3,550 lbs as the 2010 car.

It's pretty much going to be a Camaro SS less a couple hundred pounds, which, in identical conditions will beat a Camaro SS and 370Z stock for stock. :) That's all I'm saying, man.

Oh, and don't forget the FRPP supercharger option, installed at the dealership, before you take delivery. Nom nom nom.

Actually, doesn't the new engine weigh less?

I could be wrong, but I remember seeing that somewhere.

Also yeah, a Camaro is faster in a straight line and the new Mustang will almost def. be faster than a Camaro. You've got it in the turns, but else? idk.

I've never been a mustang guy but they certainly have a reason to be happy.

edit: I've also always thought that dealer-supported "aftermarket" was one thing the American car companies have always done so much better. It's sick that you can walk out the door with a supercharger.

I think you're right, it's a few pounds lighter than the 4.6L.

Would have been a great option for the 370Z!

Only once have a been challenged at a set of lights, it was ironically by a guy in an Aston Vantage with his young son on board. Anyway just smiled at the guy, gave no indication to race and we didn't...

I get odd looks from people because they're usually doing the overtaking of me... I stick to the speed limit as I will lose my job if I didn't have a license... Hope it helps build up a good rep for sports car drivers out there to show that we're not all hoons...

I'd lose my job for a street racing ticket I know that!

kenchan 03-14-2010 05:43 PM
yah, i like car guys that enjoy cars maturely. no need to race on the street and it actually looks silly. dumb people in beatup crap cars do that. dont be like them.

m4a1mustang 03-14-2010 05:44 PM
Yep, keep it on the track!

Well until we get one on a dyno and see how much drivetrain loss they suffer from and what the curb weight is going to be, its all still subjective. However, with my mods and my tune, i'll try to get one at the strip ASAP, going out on a limb here, but I think i'll win, mostly because my bhp will be about the same and i'll be 300+ lbs lighter.

Haha, and I just want to say, how pissed are those retards who didnt research the release of the 5.0 and instead bought a 10' GT?:rofl2:

Just think how pissed those retards who bought the 5.0 are gonna be when the first model year of the engine starts falling apart.

I agree. The '10 resale value is going to suck.

CrownR426 03-14-2010 07:34 PM
Oh I forgot these people!
Just because im in a z, they think it's okay to cut me off and never signal.
Whatsup with that?!

Why would any body even buy the '10 mustang. Even in 2009 a simple google search would have told anyone the '11s were getting more power.
