Default 2010 GT vs 2011 5.0/2005 GTO

Here recently I've gotten into a few 2010 vs 2011 mustang arguments and they always end the same way. So i made this video. It's a collection of various acceleration videos with a clip of my 2010 GT doing 60-110, playing alongside the original clip.

Before anybody says it;

NO, I have not sped up my car's clip, nor have I slowed down the other clips.

Interesting way to compare vehicles. It's certainly no science but I'm definitely a bit intrigued.

Interesting... but dumb comparison none the less..

Theres this thing called DA which greatly affects how a car performs.. and it varies GREATY depending on what area you live in. So this comparison is about as useful as a Snow Blower in Hawaii.

But hey.. watch this REAL life comparison of my '11 V6 vs a '10 GT

From everything I've seen, it looks like the 3.7 and 3V are pretty even thru the 1/8th. The 3V just has a little more top end.

Car sounds good.

Also comparing speedo vids isn't exactly the most accurate way per the DA/etc as mentioned above. Two cars side by side would be the best way to do it, also as mentioned above.

Density Altitude

http://www.dragtimes.com/blog/densit...-da-calculator

That link is to a DA calculcator since not everyone runs their cars at the same elevation/humidity. Cars run faster at sea level compared to 5000 ft above sea level (because of denser air).

I think with your mods you might be able to hang with a stock 3.31 geared 5.0 for alittle while. Especially if its an auto. Best thing would be to find somebody local to you with a 5.0and do real time comparision. What part of TX are you from?

Well I did beat an auto 5.0 by a 1/4 car from a 60 roll. I'm located 15 minutes south of Fort Worth
