I would've said the GT's prolly run mid-high 13's while the LS2 GTO's were runnin' high 12's. I thought the LS1 GTO's were neck and neck with the LS1 f-bodies, runnin' low 13's.
I'm just going by hearsay, etc. not actual time at the track.
what kind of gearing does a stock '05+ GT 5M have?
and still runs 13's!! (I'm sure real drivers will get more from it )
what's "5G" mean?
Yeah, the GT500 is pig heavy. If car manufacturers continue on this trend, we can anticipate sports cars in 20 years weighing as much as a 747.
Honestly, I do not know the Tremec transmission gear ratios off the top of my head, but I'm sure I can dig it up.
The 5M rear end gear ratio is 3.55:1
V6's get a 3.31:1
You should talk to your doctor about that problem. I can't help you there!
You LS2 owners need to go spend some time at the track and see just how close the LS2 Boat and the new Mustang GT's really are. Math looks good on paper, but the times at the track are indisputable. Boils down to a driver's race, and we've all witnessed how most Mustang drivers are.
Don't worry folks, Ken is confused, because he doesn't know it, but his wife Mary has secretly been switching female hormones for his Ensure. That's why he is always bitchy, has man boobs, and wears a man purse when he goes to the gym!
actually, Ken does'nt give a rats (_!_) about all this hype on drag racing and
"whos faster" cr@p anymore....... i buy the car for me .....ive had perf cars all my life, since 67......... i get alot of compliments on how nice the car looks...and to me...that brings the smile...and a lot of folks saying "thats the new gto...? ive not seen one...." or "ive never seen a gto like this one, is it special order"? then conversations begin....."tie me kangaroo down, jack........".... i get behind the wheel...and its me and the car...... averaging 400 miles a month now in 18 months... its my skate... the only car i would even consider buying to replace it right now is a Z06.......some day i might..... you can have your Shelby 500 and mustang gt's...... i dont drive fords..........sorry.

Before I left TX I was at San Antonio Raceway almost every weekend. I saw quite a few stock '05-'06 Mustang GT's (5M) running 13.30's on solid runs.
That's also about what I saw the LS2 Goats running also.
I wouldn't discount how fast the new 5M's are. And the go fast parts for Stang's are pretty cheap.
The new Mustang Shelby GT500 is over 500 HP.
I hope GM stuffs a monster powerplant in the 5G Camaro.
The new gt500's are weak... check the car and driver article... the c6 ls2 corvette ripped it a new one

Yep. Went up against 3 of them. 2 got spanked badly as it was evident they couldn't drive. The third was a different story. I drilled him out of the hole but then he slowly was reeling me in..... just couldn't quite do it in time. That should be a high 12 or 13 flat at maybe 105-106.
