Raced a 2011 5 Liter Mustang
#12
we've got a nice dark gray auto 5.0 at my work just waiting to be sold . we've actually got 2 of them and neither are selling, i figured they'd be gone after a week but they've been there 2 months.

have you calculated the ideal gear ratio for the 1/4 mile on an auto? i know there was a lot of talk about it in the 5.0 section. but most people focused on the manual.. I think they concluded in the manual ideal is 3.31.. but that has to do with not having an extra shift at the end for the best stock performance. Probably doesn't matter with the auto since you don't have to worry about mis-shifts.. put some 4.10s in it

With the A/T's however, depending on the trans, even as steep as 4.56 is not a bad idea.
At any rate, nice run OP. And that 2011 is fast. 12.5 car --stock with an A/T!!! Very nice. Bout time Ford figured out that a Mustang should have some *****.
