I can't wait to see the times your mods get you..... I drove my stepmom's car ('11 v6) not long after I got mine, and it pulls a WHOLE lot harder then mine does, and this is just with cai/tune/ab. Add in the gears and I bet you're in a bottom-13sec car. With a sticky tire and 1.7-1.8 60's, I dare say it may scrape 12's (glory pass)
Yeah here at Fort Bliss the elevation is pretty high so I hope I can knock out atleast a low 13.

That includes my 150 lb body and 45 lb belly. That would make the car weight 3645 with just over 1/2 tank of fuel and nothing removed at all. I really would like to see someone get a weight on a coupe.

Mine is also a Pony Package so has 18" wheels and tires and additional options which obviously add weight. Just wonder what the actual difference is in driving trim.

Anyway, good run Bokeo and continue to enjoy the car!!!
Thank you sir, and you enjoy yours! I'll see if I can find a scale around here to put her on =)

I think Bokeo's car could maybe find high high 12's with an elite driver and a great DA. Also, if your buddy is running less than 12.9's in a stock SRT 300C than he is a hell of a driver. They can run that fast but only the best of the best get those into the 12's stock.
I concur!

Has anyone taken a lightly modded 2011 V6 to the track? what is a tuned/intake/exhaust V6 mustang trapping?

Thats cool, i value your opinion. Perhaps this race never happened and I was merely dreaming.

Ummm.. Theres one auto on youtube with near idential mods except his is an auto with 4.10s instead of my manual with 3.73 and he traps 107.96 so I suppose mine would be around there?

I don't know, if this was a 3v with a CAI, tune and 4.10's would you be doubting the outcome?

SRT-8 300C = SRT-8 Charger = SRT-8 Challenger = L99 Camaro = LS1 Vette = LS1 F-body = LS2 GTO = 108/109mph traps stock. As quoted above, these cars can trap around 108mph with a couple bolt ons just like a 3v.

There are track videos and such but it appears to me that not too many experienced drag racers have gotten their hands on these things. Most of those guys throw down the extra cash for the 5.0L. Check out how slow the activity is in the "3.7L Tech" section, not too many enthusiasts own them yet. I think that will change over time.

this was not a 1/8 or 1/4 mile race. it was a roll race. the mustang is a better track car. the srt8 would be better from a roll. if both cars ran at the track. the mustang would probally win.

Agreed, which is why I brought up only trap speed, which is more of an indicator of horsepwer to weight. Similar to a roll race.
