Welcome to the forum.

+1 welcome to the forum and +1 you didn't beat a 5.0L with over 375+ RWHP and about 367+ RWTQ stock. If you did, he didn't know how to drive in which case good job at beating the driver, not the car.

ALL 3.7L mustangs have LSD and 8.8 rears. The FRPP version LSD uses Carbon Fiber Discs (is that what you meant?).

Perhaps you raced a 2010 mustang with the 4.6L. Looks like the 2011+ but not the same drivetrain. I've seen a few posers put the 5.0L badge on their 2010 4.6L GT.

Oh, and why is this thread in a Tech Section?????

MOD please move this either Street/Strip, OT, or another more appropraite subforum, thank you

Third, we raced three times. I ROASTED him all three times. Could be the driver, or it could be the 320 rwhp I am putting down. Who knows. Just felt good is all. Made me feel like my investment and time was worth it. And, thank you for your acknowledgement. I am glad to be here.

All I can say is I highly doubt you have 320 rwhp with just those mods. While the 2012 V6s respond modestly well to mods, they don't respond that well.

I can also say that either that guy wasn't racing or had no idea how to control the power of his car, because I own a 2011 V6 and a 2008 GT and my GT is still quite a bit faster than my V6. Then again I've owned nothing but Mustangs all my life and I know how to drive them lol.

IDK about the part of Misery you are from or anywhere else but on back roads there are not many stop lights if any.........and if they are more than 2 stop lights in a mile....then its not a back road and you DIDN'T beat anyone.....your 320HP v6 isn't going to outrun a 420hp 5.0..... stop light...maybe if the 5.0 was spinning or just a very slow reaction. Anything over 1/8 mile....NOPE!
