Mustang Gets World?s Most Powerful Production V-8 | TheDetroitBureau.com

this isn't meant to be another post about a mustang.. i know this is a Z board
and i'm proud to own a Z and to be a member here. but we all love fast cars
so i posted this in case no one has seen it yet... for what it's worth...

:gtfo2:

True American Spirit --- BIG.

I love it! Hoping Ford has a plan for putting the power down, though. According to one of the rags that got to test one of the mules they think the car will be running mid 11s with the launch control system. And we'll see if they ever release a Nurburgring time.

old news, but yes, it is a beast.

still wont run near 10's i bet

Like some cars we all know and fap to... :rolleyes:

On street tires, no. I don't think anyone has suggested it will.

Would like to see what a stock one would do on some drag slicks.

Car looks insane. Nothing quite like underrating your car at 650 hp:icon17:

yeah but when you get into slicks that changes thing im just saying i mean 662 and no 10s... thats pretty bad.... what did that super snake run a few yerar back? i know it got dusted by the "old" GTR

what would that 900 hp shelby 1K do like 10.9?

it is tough with RWD.

How is it bad? What would a RWD GT-R run? :icon17:

People need to be realistic when they think about 1/4 mile times for a RWD car like this... on street tires. It's not going to hook like AWD.

N'Ring Time: 4





4 what, you ask? Four mules totaled trying to take the first corner.



jk :roflpuke2:

"technically" on full acceleration like a drag strip the GTR is 98% RWD
so with DCT LC and 545 hp the hypothetical fan boy bench racer in my says it would probably be faster than you think faster than a LFA probably ..so 11.4 ish i bet so maybe .6 off

but yeah i know im just saying when you see these outrageous #'s on a car thats meant to go straight for the most part anyway you just assume its should be faster than it is... if you cant use the 662 then what... and the 2nd most talked about internet bench mark is 60-130 it would fare a little better there

like i saw this article and looking at the performance #s i was confused

2012 Chevy Camaro SLP Panther 600 Full Test

Well we'll just have to wait and see what it does.

oh i am curious...i hope they get different people to test it than the mags that did the ZL1 they out down some disappointing #'s

One more thing that is being overlooked here...

2013 GTR MSRP = ~$100,000
2013 GT500 MSRP = ~$55,000

Not bashing or anything but I'd hope a car that costs almost double as much would be quicker

It is quicker, hp isn't everything.

I said quicker, didn't say anything about HP

I assumed you were making the comparo because of the gt500's higher hp numbers

No no, everyone up above was saying that the GTR is quicker and I do not argue with that. I just think the GTR is a completely different class of Vehicle. I don't think just because HP numbers are around the same, lower or higher you can compare a $100,000 vehicle to a $55,000 vehicle. IF a $55,000 vehicle COULD beat a $100,000 vehicle regardless of who makes it, shame on the one that costs $100,000

Oh, i wasn't up to date with the earlier posts, sorry.

:tup:

It's not going to be quicker in the 1/4 then the GTR without slicks but it sure will be faster.. I bet 1/4 MPH is going to be in the 130's

I don't think it will be in the 130s. I think it will be close to the ZR1, but not faster, in terms of trap speed.

Ya, I'm assuming once it starts to gain some speed it will do so quickly. The start will be its hardest part, which for a lot of RWD cars it is

yeah im gonna guess 128... GTR is about 125-126

Depends what your talking about. Straight line the stang will take it. On the track it won't have a chance. A Ferrari California is 200k+ and isn't that fast at all. Just cause something costs a certain price doesn't mean it should be this or that. Cars cost different prices for a different reason.

lolwtfbbq

Gtr will own the gt500 in the 1/4

I don't think it will trap that high but maybe I'm underestimating it.

i was being optimistic so no one can say i was a hater :tup:

I think the cool thing to do here is hate. :icon17:

Lmao. I just don't get it. Why are we comparing the GTR with the GT500

You can't not compare anything against the GTR, since it's the standard of the "affordable" cars in the 1/4 mile.

Everyone knows that realistically it won't run a quicker 1/4 run than the GT-R.

But it's such a different car!!!
