Extremely mild build for how fast 9s are.

You have a chance if the 5.0 doesn't have a driver.

I beat a 5.0 an a c5 vette at the 1/4 mile in my 265rwh 350z last fall running mid 13's(13.4-13.6)...most people around here cannot drive their cars, it is great beating cars with vastly more HP, the kicker, BOTH were AT's....My 370z will do some slaying at our 1/4 mile this year, esp if I can get colose to 13 flat.

Yeah that's a terrible time for the 5.0, don't know about the C5 though. I haven't been lined up against any cars that were really close in time to mine before. It's almost always a car that's either much slower or much faster. Though last summer I was doing consistently better than 2 Camaro SS's that were running at the same track.

5.0 can be tough to launch. I've seen them run mid 13s with poor driving. In a heads up race anything is possible.

I've seen your car myself at the track lol. Wheel hop like a muphucka through 4th... but you still managed what, mid 12's at least?

I test drove one for literally one minute and I could tell it would rape my Z in a straight line.

A reminder that this is the "tech section" and as such KEEP IT ON TOPIC!

If you feel there's nothing of value to help? move ON.

Thanks...


Back on Topic!

Op you need to do some major research to accomplish this feat.

let along being expensive since you're already handicapped by 2 cylinders :(

OOH bench racing.. Not sure what you'd consider a kill.. Equal Motor Trend 0-60 times gets you a tie. If you consider the fact that you have to be on track to go faster than that (unless you like killing innocent people) combined with the knowledge that Mustangs just blow up or roll over on said track, the answer is: a real racetrack. Congrats!

:wtf2:

:shakes head::shakes head:

A turn.

No trolling. I like Mustangs. They're nice. But they're always ruining our track days. Rolling, blowing up, not moving over. They're the Corvette of Fords...

Sounds like they are in the wrong group!

There's no need to lock anything, there are plenty of cars on this forum that would shame a 5.0 out of the box, key is to get traction. After mods and tune I didn't stop spinning rears thru 2nd until I put RE-11 305's on and when they're new they REALLY grab: stock widths are not handling the power that these UpRev'd Z's are generating so they end up toasted twice as fast as fronts. OP should look to standards.. G3, CBE, and tune, and some fatter rears with slightly stretched tires for max response. FTW.
