Default Re: Ran across a new 5.0 Mustang today

I have a 2012 5-oh with a six speed & 3.55's. I think the stang would be faster to 100 from a dig because it hooks up so much better and the MT-82 trans is really close ratio. Also hard to beat VVT.

over 90-100 mph and the LT5 is going to kill it. Partly on the aero and 100 lb weight advantage of the C4, and partly displacement difference. I'm also locked to a ceiling of about 350 rwhp due to no headers, but the LT5 does feel faster at certain speeds. Other speeds the mustang seems quicker.

Most definitely the mustang peaks at a higher rpm 6400 vs 6000. I really do need headers to get the extended range, but any way you slice it, these Coyote cars are 12.90 rides.
