OP should look to standards.. G3, CBE, and tune, and some fatter rears with slightly stretched tires for max response. FTW.

No point in modded vs. modded discussion, though. We could go on and on like the cold war. Whoever spends the most wins.

a track that has many turns

You can add 4.08 gears and a good driver on that list too.

I just don't get why so many people try to compare the two. No matter what you do the 5.0 will always be a step ahead. It's faster stock and it's faster modded. Even when turns are involved. No point in the "well, if you've got this and he's got this" game because it doesn't effing matter.

Don't worry about being faster than the next guy and instead drive what makes you happy. You'll be amazed at how much nicer everything is when you don't give a sh*t about how you stack up.

Just worry about how good you are and what you can do with your car.

I have the GTM SC kit and from a 40 roll I killed a 2012 5.0 with Rousch intake and exhaust and tune at least 6 times... at 40 in 2nd at 4000rpms just step on it instantly full 8psi and gone like he was standing still but from a dig it was closer BC of their tq number being so high....

Be careful with that street racing talk.

All you need is a technical course. Then it's gonna be 90% driver skill.

I'd beg to differ. Z has much lighter chassis and its a smaller car. It's always going to be faster car all around with right mods. Your argument holds for straight line acceleration and bolt on mods. That's about it. ....5.0 Faster in turns lol!

We don't have to succumb to everything is great soma to know 5.0 is a piece with a big gas slurpn motor.

Since OP hasn't even been back to this thread, I'm guessing he wasn't really all that interested in the answer. And since it's had to be cleaned at least twice ... I see no reason to let it keep going.

Short answer is beating a mustang in the 1/4 is going to take some serious add ons. You will probably have to overnight parts from Japan.
