Strongly agree with you. I saw one of those 'Mustang' SUV things this summer, and frankly seeing a Mustang on that piece of shit was pathetic. If I was a Mustang owner, I sure would not be happy with...

His car is a convertible, so around 200 pounds heavier than a coupe.

Getting better, that 117 trap speed is closer to what I was thinking you'd get with your mods.

No, you did not just say the car got faster, you made some sketchy performance claims in comparison to the ZL1, and those brought questions. Like for example, your claim of 30-70 in 2.63 for your...

You said stuff like "ZL1 territory" and "about as quick as an A10 ZL1". Also you said it did 30-70 in 2.63 where Motor Trend says 2.7 for the ZL1 A10. You were talking acceleration from what I could...

Now that you have driven a ZL1 though, do you still believe that your 5.0 with some mild mods was equal to a ZL1? We disagreed on your old claims, and I'm wondering if your opinion has been revised....

Well, ZL1 has 305 street tires and 650 hp, and guys are reporting 1.7 short times for them. So the GT500 with 315 street tires and 760 hp should be able to run better than 2 second short times.

I don't think that track is really slow, after all, 132 trap speed for that GT500 is really good.

As far as your own 112~114 trap speeds, I do think those are below expectation with the mods...

Yes indeed, it was his supercharged Mustang. I think his 2019 5.0 is an M6 and that could make a difference from your friend's A10. BTW I've seen an M6 Coyote with 600 supercharged hp (that's what he...

Gearing seems particularly important for the 5.0 Coyote because of it's high-rpm emphasis. Average power is not as much as the SS Camaro, which explains why with now 460hp vs 455hp for the SS, it's...
