I wouldnt expect much - over on the GT350 forums - dash plaque was supposed to be blue for HE cars- red for Rs - black for base
We saw cars with the wrong color badges- you would think they would get something like that right on their flagship car at the time lol
but hey lets give them a...
Waiting for colder Temps outside...
As of right now... s550s GTs have run 11.8s at 119 100% stock
Need to wait for the Temps to get better to see if S650 do the same ...
Jury still out... need more data
PS All the Mustang on Mustang hate in here- I think some of you need to hug it out - esp given its pretty much the same car underneath - one is a little less weight and a little less hp
We should love all Mustangs........
Except the 96-04 2V guys- F them and their piece of crap motor...
Both cars can be stock... but what are rear gears... manual? Autos?
Needs to be same transmission... same gears...
I haven't seen these questions answered in any of these videos
I havent seen any - if my car I personally probably wouldnt do for the first 100 miles though- but probably no harm ....I mean for the C8 they restricted things during break in- would think if really important Ford would do the same?
Agree- I saw that video and tried to see if any other videos posted listed the mods on the S550 ....never found anything saying if car was stock or modded
That being said- its kind of strange all of these back to back dyno videos but no one is filming a damn roll race -
I would have thought...
no.....there is nothing that says you cant go over 4500RPM ... so much misinformation on this subject (someone was referencing a generic article that had nothing to do with the S650)
On the S550 they said no redline for first 100 miles and then no track days for first 1000
Vary your RPM- Do...
In fact the more I think about it...we sound like a bunch of whiners... myself included... I mean the fact that EPA and CARB requirements are most likely MUCH stricter then before and Ford was able to still produce a car that matches performance... maybe we need to all STFU and just say thank...
Maybe we should all be less mad at Ford and more upset with the mandates that force them to neuter the car?
I mean if anything they are the only company that was able to come up with a formula to keep building V8 muscle cars.
Even if it ends up being .1 seconds slower... the fact they found a...
The minimal gains make more sense to me given the dual air intake design... more air flow to compensate for the carbon traps..
It would explain why the Whipple goes back to a single intake.
Given stricter carb requirements every year would not be surprised if this has an effect on what...
Slow relative to what? : )
Compared to a Bugatti Cheyron ...its slow
Compared to your 13 GT
If you are going from 6A auto to 10A auto- its going to feel like a rocket ship
6M to 6M - still should feel a bit quicker- but not the same delta as going from 6A to 10A
Going from a 13GT to a...
There are Dark Horses in Southern CA for 10K over ..... maybe could talk them down to 5K over which is not unreasonable for a new specialty Mustang seeing its first deliveries
You will be fine. Working in the automotive aftermarket I have had interactions with many of the OEs..asked them as we were asked to dyno preproductioncars with no miles all the time. I also have friends that build motors for multi million dollars cars (they restore them as well) whom have built...
Yeah unfortunately most of these videos dont list DA - but enough of them out there I wouldnt say they are "hero" runs - not like just one guy ran an 11.9 and all others running 12.30s
I think the only way to be sure is to have a video of an S550 vs S650 which is kind of weird - no one has...
I am going to say this right now- anyone who pays 80K + for a DH instead of a low mileage GT500 is crazy - see hand
That and I think everyone was running around before the deliveries started talking about how it was going to be so much faster because of the extra hp and getting frustrated...
