Are you just sporting a tune and intake for power mods?

Thats it and 3:31's.

FYI, we have taken several bone stock V's into the 11.7-11.8 range. Thats paper filter stock

Ive seen 5.0's with nothing more then Drag Radials go 12.0. Like I said this is a drivers race.

The more important question is have YOU done it? ;)

Of course not. :secret:

So, you gonna keep bench racing or come drag my ass?

Exactly. The V has a great power curve, as such the car runs like a lighter weight car. Joe's V pulled slightly on Vic's GS... stock vs stock. I dont see a stock or even tuned by god Coyote running with a GrandSport, thus it wont run with a V either.

I never said drag. I said it was gonnabe close. Im on jack stands again.

Ive race a few vettes one stock 09 and another 07 with intake and catback auto. I beat both. The strong part of the coyote is the 1:1 in 4th.

Ummmm.....no. 5th gear is 1:1

4th gear is 1.69:1

You basically just killed your whole argument

lol @ thinking a 1:1 high gear is going to determine the winner.

There is a little experience posted, and a fuck load of bench racing and misinformation here.

Yup. Shouldnt you be at church?
I didnt say it would determine a winner. I said that is its strong point. If I posted misinformation on the V please inform me. Every where Ive researched says 440-460 auto stock #'s. 4200lbs min.

Is there any type or church service on a Tuesday night?

To me, 4th gear is the strongest gear in my car. It feels like it pulls the hardest out of all the gears. The way I think about it, getting as close to a 1:1 ratio is the trick. True 1:1 is a lot of stress on the motor. Getting close to, but not at, 1:1 still means the gearing/trans is still doing the majority of the work, but you are still utilizing the motor as much as possible while keep stress down.

Better hope steve doesn't put a DFW5.0s sticker on that V, that's like 300hp right there alone. I've got 2 of them and my stock 2v makes like 800rwihp (rear wheel imaginary horsepower).:poker:

I need to run a Blower 5.0 ......anyone......anyone?

Why not run a stock shelby?

Should we expect videos of this race by Monday?

I don't think it would be much of a race......

:troll3:

Looks like you're going to have to hit up a meet for that one.
Your lack of expierence is showing with that post. No offense intended.

LOL, ya think?

Just sucks right now with work. I work 9pm to 5:30am Tuesday-Sunday. Hopefully they hire a new guy soon and we can train him fast so I can get back to Sun-Thurs. The meets are super fun. And I need to drag some people! (Mustangs)

Let vic rape it weight wise... he went mid 10s at 132 with your same setup...

Lol I like my Bose speakers and heated seats! I got skinnys on the way right now and getting rid of these z51 brakes.

I don't blame you abit. Stripper cars are fun when racing only. Other than that it's boring. I like my options and full weight. Just make more power!

I'm sure when I go out to the meet I'll be removing the easy stuff. Like passenger seat. That's like 65lbs right there.

LOL, not me. Full weight. I even added weight with the babyseats in the back! lol. It's just not that important to me. If I lose, no big deal, it's still fun!

Passenger seat and skinnies will give you a car length or two in a race... pretty noticeable imo. Ask vic for sure, but I think thats about right.

Every 100lbs is about equal to a tenth in ET and/or one car length.

So when are these races happening?

Right, but skinnies are less rolling resistance and rotational weight. It skews that rule more so than just dead weight in the car.

Donnie and I will race at some point soon. We all always end up acting like stupid teenagers at some point when we go cruising. lol

Very true.

LOL, same here. But then I have to remind myself I'm not in the '89 anymore and I'm slow :(

Dfwls.com is this sites new name. Yea my lack of experience. I've ran the vettes that are so fast stock. I beat them. All I have is a tune. What is fung though is a 20k mustang getting compared to 40k dollar gm product.

Damn, I paid too much for mine

Im payin 22 k for my ls2 car with 21k miles and no sales taxes... few grand more for the HREs. whats a 5.0 with 20 k miles cost? Seems more comparing a 35 k mustang to a 45 k vette... and besides pure acceleration, thats qhere the comparison stops.

Wharz 89!?!?

This is very true but we will have to wait till I get her back again. She is now at the paint shop. Might have it back by Friday.

:rotflmao::supergay::lol2:

Plastics are pricey these days.

The mstang was never intended to be the vettes competition. The camaro was the stangs competition. Yea so a new mustang with warranty vs a old rattle plastic box. I drove my friends 07 and 30min was more then enough. The 90's accord interior was just as nice. I realize something just now. Gm build great niche cars but when it's come to actually making money they make shit cars. Weird?

Arguing cost of make and model is silly in my opinion, especially in regards to modified vehicles. Choose your weapon and make it the best you can to fit your ideals of performance.

Mine is idea with just a tune.
