Would had been fine if it weren't for the tune. And don't say it wasn't cause my car went into limp mode 5 other times.

LOL, no way. That was all you on that one. Anyone with any sort of experience or common sense knows that burnouts should be done in 2nd gear and NOT bouncing off the rev-limiter. You are flat wrong on that one.

After that 1st burnout of yours, the car was most likely hurt and going into limp mode to protect itself. That had NOTHING to do with the tune. If TS was at fault on that, I would say so, but that was all you.

Every one standing around your car was going "holy shit, wtf is that guy doing?!!" while you were bouncing it off the rev limiter. lol

Didn't he also do one in reverse?

Let's see here, one your buddy Clint told me to do it in first so I did. Second first time to the track in 10 plus years. And third it went into limp mode 5 other times after the track. So I'll wait to see what you have to say now.

Oh come on, Clint would NEVER tell you to burnout on the rev limiter. lol. If he told you to do a first gear burnout, it's most likely cuz you had a super tall tire on it and your car makes SHIT for torque (mod motor thing, not just your car) so it needed help getting the tires going. I was standing 5 feet from Clint while you were doing your burn out and when you started bouncing it off the limiter, Clint started waving his arms to get your to stop but you kept going. Once you did stop, the car bogged then went into limp mode.

As I said, the car was most likely hurt during that burnout so it's no surprise that it went into limp mode. It is what it is, you fucked up, shit happens. I'm sure you won't do it again. lol

And this was in the middle of summer on a very humid day. So right now it's probably between 550-560 rwhp. I'll find out at HPP toys for tots dyno day.

Awesome. Is that spray or all motor?

All motor. His car made like 522rw. He's just stroking himself saying 560rw. lol

lol. that's still impressive, though!

Troll call!

Anyway, I believe the GT350 will perform better than the hype. It's got all the equipment to do so. Wider tire print, at least 500hp larger displacement, larger brakes and if these magnetic shocks are worthy it should bring a win against the Z/28.

I am a bit disappointed in the new 5.0L though. AM tested it against a 2012 and the 2012 GT was faster down the track. But the new Mustangs seem more focused towards cornering with the IRS now. However, I think it was MT that tested the 15GT with performance pack against the 15SS1LE and the 1LE was faster. From their commentary, largely in part due to the springs, shocks and tires. The Camaros just grip so much better and are better composed on the track. Mustang still had the floaty feel to it.

Honestly, arguing taxes, dealer markup and interest of all things is all subjective. Interest is based on your credit, two people can go into a dealership, one leave with 0$ and another leave with 24%. It's just dumb to argue that. You'll pay taxes and shit on ANY car you buy. Dealer markup is only done at some dealerships. Some people paid dealer markup on C7s and many people did not. It's still a buyers market, if one dealership wants to hike up prices and they actually sell it to someone that could afford, then it wasn't too much for that person... they could afford it. If another buyer does 5 minutes of research, he'll find a car that he can afford. If you're going to argue price, argue MSRP because, anything after that is completely subjective to the individual.

I believe the Space Shuttle will perform as advertised because it has all the equiptment to do it. Surely, it won't blow up...

Anyone jumping on the bandwagon this early is a just a fan boi. No data, no real world reviews, nothing to go buy other than hype and excitement. We'll see what happens when its in the hands of real owners, rather than marketers and paid off journalists. The ZL1 had the same hype behind it and it proved to be slow as balls on the street. We'll see what happens.

Not bad for a lil 302. For the cost of it, could have gone boost, made more power and would have been more fun to drive with a fun powerband.

**Mustangdude72** · 11-21-2014, 03:55 PM

Well at least we're back on topic..

Actually data is out. It's just not the data you want. Sure, it's not specific but, did you expect it to be since the car was just announced?

Sure it could fail but, then again, it could not. You seem to want to just accept that it will fail or have the exceedingly skeptical attitude right off the bat. Why do you need to shout "fan boi" just because people are excited about the new car?
