This 2018 Mustang GT beat my Base stock A8 NPP No Tune no mods.
Early last year run against new Z06 ran about the same.

No surprise there, they run 12.1 stock, stock base A8 Stingrays are good for 11.8s in the 1/4 mile. You did well being he was modified- running E85/tune, skinnys up front, R compound drag radials, and the passenger seat removed. If you had the same mods as him and he was stock you would have crushed him.

ok there is always someone who will have a faster car. the Mustang wasnt exactly stock I dont how much of an advantage it had. you ran a good race go with it and beat the next one

My best 1/4's have been 11.73 and 11.75 at just under 119 and at around 2000 DA. All the other 18 A10 GT's with 3.55's and DR's where doing 7.7's @ about 92 and 1.8 60's

Looking forwarded to the ‘19 GT500. Competition certainly brings out the best...

Just bought a 18 Mustang GT PP M6 as a new daily driver...The new 5.0 Coyote engine is a freaking good engine....

I prefer this engine to the LT1 of my GS....

Time to start tuning my LT1

lol.
About 15 yrs ago, I was out driving my 3rd 5L Mustang GT. Got smoked by a BMW M3.
That's when I stepped up to my first C5 vert...

hmmmm, line lock?

This.

For the last 20 years, Ford has had the best sounding American V8 IMO.
It would be my engine of choice if I was building an American dream car.

20 years...try 33. My '89 GT sounds better than my '14 C7.

Sounds perfectly normal. With his mods and Tires to your base, seeing as they are basically the same HP stock and with E85 and mods he's probably got 60 or more bhp on you with the tires...totally expected outcome. the margin of victory was .091...not exactly a Gap situation

woodsguy

Modified vs stock? Apples to oranges.

Looks like your reaction time and 60’ were better than his. Id like to see the dyno numbers on that Mustang. I also wonder how much of an effect that 10 speed transmission had on the performance of the Mustang. Good race!

About 15 years ago the Mustang had a 4.6L (1996-2010MY). Just like the Corvette, the Mustang has greatly improved over the past few decades... and the new M3 ain’t too shabby either.

The 2018 Mustangs are rated at 460 HP, but there have been several videos published that show these cars on dynos cranking out closer to 480-490 bone stock. Ford is positioning their Mustang GT's dangerously close to GT350 territory.

Yes Sir you got your butt beat by a Mustang.

Cjunkie

Lol I like the mod vs stock comments so if he wasn’t modded would it have been a tie or does he lose by a .1?
Plus the Mustang crushed him in MPH, if they went the whole 1/4 it would’ve been decimation.
Here’s one how about 35k vs 65k.........just saying.

Cjunkie

reaction time? Are you serious he REDLIT and the Mustang was asleep.

Now-a-days, seems like every car manufacturer can (and does) put out a vehicle that compares favorably against competitors. Many even look like a normal family sedan but can turn some very impressive numbers. We live in very interesting times.

If you paid $65K for a base C7 you got taken to the cleaners. Brand new ones lately are $45-48K.

Mustang GT prices went up in 2018. 2018 with only the 10speed auto and track pack is about $42K and there are no huge discounts on them yet. It's probably a $6-7K delta between the two cars and the C7 still looks like you paid a lot more inside and outside.
