    S650 Mustang GT versus C7 Corvette Accelertion

    All these people with their ideas of what to compare and what not to compare...the dude had a C7, now has an S650 GT, so of course he's going to compare the two. As far as how a car "feels"...The C7 has more torque and according to Car and Driver the C7 stingray is 500 lbs lighter. It will feel...

    How much of the GT/DH power is actually usable by the everyday driver?

    Iā€™ve owned a 2018 GT Premium with PP1, A10, and MagneRide. It had nearly full bolt on, so near 500 crank hp and some weight reduction. I also have a 675 hp (crank) ā€˜21 Camaro ZL1, and a ā€˜22 Supra 3.0 with about 415 crank hp (they typically dyno 370-380+ rwhp), but only weighs 3,300 lbs. The GT...

    ZL1 >>>> to a GT or DH?

    I went from 2018 GT Premium with PP1, MagneRide, and A10 to a ā€˜21 ZL1 A10. I considered keeping both cars but after a few days realized there was never a time when I would have chosen to drive the GT over the ZL1, so I sold the GT. When people say the GM trans tuning is light years ahead they...

    K&N Intake Kit for 2024+ Mustang GT now available

    I think K&N guarantees a hp increase in back to back dyno runs of stock car then car with intake added. Not the amount. Could be 3 whp, thatā€™s still an increase even if not significant and actually within margin of variability.

    Challenger or S650

    The lightest I could find for a V8 challenger was 4,200 lbs by Motortrend, and that was a 5.7 liter. The 392 was 4,275 lbs-both were not the widebody, which are even heavier at 4,340 lbs (Motortrend). A Camaro SS A10 was 3,730 lbs (also Motortrend), and the A10 Mustang GT was 3,860 lbs (also...

    If I had the money...

    I think this looks better than the outgoing GT due to the more aesthetically pleasing dash to axle ratio. But in everything but 0-60 it will be a worse performer: heavier, worse weight distribution, and bigger. I think Mercedes cheaped out by not tweaking this chassis to have a longer dash to...

    Throttle House: Dark Horse Mustang vs 392 Challenger vs Camaro ( Drag Race , Roll Race & Track Times )

    Great review, as always. It is a very impressive time, but those Trofeo RS tires are perhaps the grippiest tires ever fitted to a production vehicle, so I'm not totally surprised (competitor to Cup 2R tires). And they have 6 years of additional tire tech development over the ZL1 1LE Goodyear...

    Throttle House: 2024 Mustang GTPP vs Camaro SS 1LE - Drag Race & Lap Times

    ZL1 comes standard with a beefed up Tremec 6 speed. A10 is an option.

    Throttle House: 2024 Mustang GTPP vs Camaro SS 1LE - Drag Race & Lap Times

    Stop while youā€™re aheadā€”good job. You should just forget watching after the track comparison portion where Thomas says getting out of the Mustang and into the SS is like getting out of a pickup truck and into a Porsche.

    Whipple or Ford Supercharger?

    The Gen 3 FP kit was a Roush, which uses an Eaton 2.65 roots blower. The Whipple is a twin screwā€¦are you sure Ford is switching the official FP kit from a Roush to a Whipple? I know Whipple and others (procharger) have developed kits for the Gen 4 Coyote. But Iā€™d be surprised if FP isnā€™t working...

    S650 vs S550 weight on the scales

    Somethingā€™s amiss. Several sources, including Ford, published the S650 as heavier than the S550. Fordā€™s own website says the base S650 GT is 3,830 lbs, and claims around 3,710 or so for the base S550 GT. Also, both Car and Driver and Motortrend show 150+ lbs weight gain over similar trims. Even...

    Gen 1-4 Coyotes on the same dyno, same day by American Muscle

    Gen 3 made more power up to 6500 rpm and had a flatter high rpm torque curve. That could explain why a 2018 GT M6 traps the same as a 500 hp dark horse M6 despite the DH having a better power to weight ratio.

    Official: 2025 Mustang GTD Revealed! 800+ HP 5.2L V8, Pushrod Suspension, $300K MSRP

    Not sure on the German engine rating laws or if itā€™s just a perception or reputation thing e.g., ā€œdoing more with lessā€. The US SAE rated number isnā€™t the most hp a us rated engine will make. Itā€™s the rated hp under certain conditions. If I recall itā€™s 78 deg F at about 14.2 or 14.3 psi...

    Official: 2025 Mustang GTD Revealed! 800+ HP 5.2L V8, Pushrod Suspension, $300K MSRP

    Nah, this is not completely correct. Europe uses PS which is a slightly smaller value than American hp. So, the McLaren 720S is rated at 720 PS which equals 710 us hp. That said, the way they rate them differs. Most American manufacturers now use the SAE rating which is the power at the crank...

    Official: 2025 Mustang GTD Revealed! 800+ HP 5.2L V8, Pushrod Suspension, $300K MSRP

    Iā€™m super impressed with the style and specs of the GTD, and Iā€™m a 6th Gen Camaro ZL1 owner (but also former 2018 Mustang GT owner). I do wish they made it a true ā€œfront-mid engineā€ but that would have required additional engineering and chassis tweaks. That said, GM could probably match the GTD...

    2024 Mustang GT/EcoBoost Performance Track Testing: 0-60 MPH, 1/4 Mile, Braking & Skid Pad

    I think people were expecting it to be faster than a 2010 Camaro SS M6 (111 mph) or a 2011 Mustang GT M6 (110.6 mph).

    2024 Mustang GT/EcoBoost Performance Track Testing: 0-60 MPH, 1/4 Mile, Braking & Skid Pad

    I quoted other Edmunds past tests for more of an apples to apples comparison. Look at the 1/4 mile trap speeds. All within 1 mph of each other, and this is the brand new 486 hp GT compared to cars from 2010/2011 that have 412 hp (GT) and 426 hp (SS). As far as 0-60, I don't think Edmunds uses...

    2024 Mustang GT/EcoBoost Performance Track Testing: 0-60 MPH, 1/4 Mile, Braking & Skid Pad

    Underwhelming. 0-60 in 4.8, 1/4 mile in 12.7 at 111.6 mph. It's almost a tie with a 2011 GT M6 that Edmunds tested back then: 4.8, 13.0 at 110.6 mph. 486 hp vs 412 hp. That's what a bad gear ratio change and extra 250 lbs will do, I suppose. For another data point, Car and Driver tested a 2010...
