I just orderd a new 2011 GT premium Mustang.

5.0 6spd Auto
Kona blue



I have been reading all the hype on the new 5.0 with 412hp and 390tq. And about 12.7 quarter's. with 4.4s 0-60.

Is this stuff accurate. I just read somewhere that the new mustang wont get to the low 13's even?

Im going to be upset if this thing doesnt perform as i have been reading.


What can i suspect?

did u test drive one first before u bought it. There are a few guys here that have and were not blown away by the performance. But it sounds like a with a few bolt ons this thing can be a beast on the track with some good tires

No, nobody around here has one.....

So what are the actual quarter mile times for the auto with 3.15 gears. I believe the manual with 3.73 can do 12.7s.

But will the auto to.

I read a few places that people with stock autos ran 12.7s. Then after buying it, i read somewhere today that that was BS possibly. Im just confused.

I scowered the net for awhile before buying this car. And i can still pull my order back if i get the real info.

2011CS

My plates read 11SCNDS

I will get there at 2000ft above sea level.

Just going to see how much it costs me to achieve it.

I set a goal of ten grand complete.

My gears,tires and rims are setting me back $3500 of that so we'll see.

I am guessing the auto is a 13 second car bone stock.

Burns331

13.0s flat? or in the 13's? Because there is a difference.

Thats what im getting at. I know the rear gears are high but i thought maybe the auto compensated with low 1st and 2nd gears.

you will be disappointed knowing that you could have had a very very low mileage GT500 I am talking under 10k miles. for about the same money and pimping 550rwhp with a tune and pulley chance.

I test drove a vert 5.0 auto the other day, and I really couldn't tell that big of a difference between it and mine. They are going to call me when they get a standard in a few weeks, so I am curious. Now that I have a daily driver yota, I really don't think I could ever be talked into trading the Cali Special for anything........

Sounds like you are crying before you were hurt. If you bought this car to be a track monster be prepared to put out some dough. The numbers Ford claims are not at the rear wheel fyi.

Burns331

no doubt the numbers are crank. Im not an idiot.

All i want to know is the 1/4 mile with the auto trans. Anybody have any specs.

YES, yes, yes.....
