Default 2011 V6 Auto 1/4 mile with 2.73?

I have been looking everywhere, just out of curiosity, but nobody seems to have the numbers.

Any idea on what the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are for a 2011 V6 Mustang Automatic with the 2.73 axle? Everybody in every Google result I have found seems to think that when somebody asks this, they want to know about the 3.31 times, LOL.

But I don't know why I can't get an answer for this. I don't intend on racing, but it is more for curiosity purposes.

So, only want to know: 2011 V6 Auto 2.73 quarter-mile and 0-60 times. Anybody have any info about this?

I've seen most people with the 2.73's running around 14-14.2
These were manual trans though.

So I'm wondering if about 14.5 with auto may be doable. As said, I don't have any intention of racing now, but just curiosity. Still hoping to hear some first-hand accounts on a 2.73 auto, though.

Thank you for replying with that, though, gives me a closer idea of what to expect.

I'd say yes it is doable.

I don't have any exact times for you, but I test drove an auto 2.73 when I bought this car. When going from a standing start and just accelerating, the auto felt really close to the manual in speed. The transmission just never wants to down shift once the car is moving and I think that's where all the complaints regarding sluggishness are coming from. So, I'd say that 14.5-14.7 is definitely doable with the auto, and maybe even a bit better with a good tune.

I ran a best of 14.1@99 (2.22 60') last night with C&L intake and custom SCT tune. Weather was very humid and mid 60s.

That sounded pretty damn good! Is that stock exhaust?
