What do u need to kill a 5.0 stang
 

what upgrades u need to kill a 5.0 stang ? in 7AT

a 5.0 with CAI

a vette

A Civic? lol

Well, I assume you mean straight line, say 1/4 mile?
The 5.0 does it in 12.7 seconds according to MotorTrend
You can use this as a guideline:

And you can PM the people or look at their build threads...

Honestly, if you want to KILL one, only a turbo or supercharger will help you do that...
All motor it looks like in the 1/4 mile, either you'll lose every time by just a hair, or it will depend on your skill...


If you're already rolling (lets say you closed the freeway ;-) and were going 60-100...) You'll need a turbo or supercharger for sure, no questions there

stupid questions without a context don't deserve a real answer...

who cares its not even the same car ,we have a mustang in our area that races at every light ,i guess he has to prove something all the time ,when i got my Z just before winter he came up behind me and reved his engine ,when the light changed i gave him enough room to get next to me ,then it happend he floored his car and took off, at that moment i looked over at him and smiled he was racing himself ,i thought what an a*****e ,i was just cruzin with the top down enjoying the day ,you see when you have a sharp looking car you don t have to prove anything to anybody.

Just do like I did and buy a fox body, and tweak it a bit. For less than the cost of a sc + install you can beat a new 5.0.

a set of full bolt on's and 4.08 gears.
with big wide tires on the rear.
Just to let you know Desilva racing had a N/A, 5.0 mustang at the drags when i was there and it ran 10.80. way faster than my 12.342.
and that was with no supercharger on it, all motor !!!!

A sharp turn

ftw

100 shot of nos

The 9 second stang had a built moter, These guys ran the stock engine, no internal mods.
Z

True, but the point is the car is a 9 second NA car and really looking at it, looks to be about the chassis & drivetrain more than the engine build they did to get it into the 9s.

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.

No point in modded vs. modded discussion, though. We could go on and on like the cold war. Whoever spends the most wins.

a track that has many turns :)

You can add 4.08 gears and a good driver on that list too.

I just don't get why so many people try to compare the two. No matter what you do the 5.0 will always be a step ahead. It's faster stock and it's faster modded. Even when turns are involved. No point in the "well, if you've got this and he's got this" game because it doesn't effing matter.

Don't worry about being faster than the next guy and instead drive what makes you happy. You'll be amazed at how much nicer everything is when you don't give a sh*t about how you stack up.

Just worry about how good you are and what you can do with your car.

I have the GTM SC kit and from a 40 roll I killed a 2012 5.0 with Rousch intake and exhaust and tune at least 6 times... at 40 in 2nd at 4000rpms just step on it instantly full 8psi and gone like he was standing still but from a dig it was closer BC of their tq number being so high....

Be careful with that street racing talk. ;)

Troof.

Also, my pen15 is larger than yours.

Because you're HAsian.

All you need is a technical course. Then it's gonna be 90% driver skill.

I'd beg to differ. Z has much lighter chassis and its a smaller car. It's always going to be faster car all around with right mods. Your argument holds for straight line acceleration and bolt on mods. That's about it. ....5.0 Faster in turns lol!

We don't have to succumb to everything is great soma to know 5.0 is a piece with a big gas slurpn motor.:hello:
