Well went to the track today hoping to break "NUTS" into the 13s but it never happend. What is really strange though is my MPH is way up . 102 mph @14.2 60ft are 2.2s . Last time when i went i ran 14.0 @99.55 Mph. There was a Z28 i think it was a 00 i ran him and he ran only a 13.8 @104. Im gonna be posting some video in the next couple of days. I got off 10 runs , the track was hot and humid. I ran consistent 14.2 and 101 and 102 mph times. Was a fun night just wish i had some sticky tires. So now its time to mod time for some heads and cam etc. Was anyone here @ Beechbend Saturday night? Owell matbe next time.

 

Well i guess no one has anyhting to say.. hmmm ok. I personally think 102 mph is really fast for a stock 5.0 what doesanyone else think.?

 

Your trap speed all depends on your 60ft time. If you get a good take off with nothing but traction you can run a 13.5 at 96 mph because I have seen it done. My best time is 13.8 and my 60ft was 2.0 at 101mph.

I drove a 5.0 the other day and it was just SLOW. It was a '93 and it had a 273 rearend so maybe that was the reason. Maybe it is better at high rpms but just in the neighborhood I was in and flooring it it was NOTHING compared to my car.

 

The best time that I have gotten is a 14.2 @ 99.7 with a 2.3 60 ft. I still have the stock 2:73s, and the car definitly doesnt get going until it hits about 3500 rpms.

 

Well i have hit 2.0 60ft times before and ran 99.55 mph .And i havent seen any 99+ mustangs that was stock beat me yet. But i havent seen any other stock 5.0 either for that fact. I have no mods and a 102 mph trap speed is fast no matter how you slice it.Considering a 00 z28 was running 103 @ 13.8 . If i had some tires would of been a really good race.Ill be posting the video this week. I know jdaneil you are really hooked on how fast 99+ mustangs are compared to older 5.0s But im not seeing this performace yet.Even on the street.Oh and when i say stock i mean STOCK.Thats a good time 96 gt. There was this one mustang i kept racing at the track and he said he had 300 Rwhp. I looked at his car and seen some edlebrock heads and heard his cam and seen the the carb setup.Was a 5 speed with 3.73. But he lost to me everytime ,he wanted to know what i have done and i told him nothing and it was stock.All the way down to Cats and smog pump.So J do you have any video or timeslips from FT Hood area? Sure would to see some. Im gonna race this guy from work he has a 03GT with alot of mods so he should easyly beat me but well see ill have it on video even if i loose. Should be fun. Anyone else have some track times they wanna share?

 

stinger what year stang do you have and is it a new engine? cause all the 5.0s i know of run 15s stock. not calling you a liar just wondering

 

Sorry jdaniel but you are incorrect about the speed and the 60' times. The 60' time has a great deal to do with the overall ET, but very little to do with the speed at the end of the 1/4 mile. I've seen many cars with relative slow 60' times really charge hard on the top end and post a good speed. Some cars slip and slide off the line but still have the HP up top to post a good speed. The rear gears also have a big effect on the top end speed. With my old 3.73's I got 100.05 mph with 2.10 60' times but now with my 4.56 gears, the best I can do is 96+ mph with 1.80 60' times with the same engine set-up.
