it's all well and fine to quote peoples mods... but after seeing what they need to run 11's personally I am calling BS on "just CAI+tune = 11's lololol" spewers

Most likely would land it on the moon.... or a repair shop somewhere.

Just throwing this out there..... This is my friends, I filmed this the same day I ran my car at the track last month. The front sway bar is removed, has upper and lowers and a panhard bar and the bigs n littles everything else is full weight, Car weighs 3455 empty 3720 with driver.

Also the same mods as my dads 2011 (other than control arms and panhard bar) and running on the stock Pirellis 11.9's

http://www.svtperformance.com/forums...lis-11-9s.html

These are 6sp cars but bolt on's in the 11's...


EDIT: Just caught the last part cai+tune=11's..... Yea that I find hard to believe myself!!

All of them do.... The one in the video has 1 7/8 headers 3in x-pipe and borla axle back, and the one in the link has a leathal performance 3in off road x-pipe and a flowmaster axle back.

My dad's 2011 with the 3in x-pipe flowmaster axle back, JLT cai, and aluminum ds with a John Lund SCT tune put down 423whp and 401wtq still having the stock manifolds.

Stock they were rated at about 13.8-14.4, so 13.2 is very optimistic. My nephew had headers, exhaust, SCT, intake, and while it was fast, a new stock 5.0 would beat it without a problem, IMO. Technically the new 2011 V6 Mustang would beat it stock for stock.

not on full weight he didn't, and not with the stock wheels, and more than likely a bit more mods than you originally thought

as I've said, after seeing a stalled auto leave on a 1.6 short time with slicks and skinnies with a ton of weight reduction with a CAI/tune/3.73's run 11.6.... with the mods you mentioned I see 11.9 as a BEST... you mentioned that with the aforementioned mods they can run low-mid 11's, I don't buy it at all

I'm not saying they cannot go deep into the 11's with bolt on's... it's just you are making it sound like all you need is a CAI+tune and an off road H pipe with some second hand DR's @ full weight to run 11.1 @ 126MPH

Don't ever contradict me regarding the 5.0... It was handed down from God and blessed by Batman.
