Low end??

[Grandpa]

A quick Google search, according to Ford, Donnie's car weighs 3,333lbs. The automatics weighed 3,524lbs.

Donnie's car - 3,333lbs + 220lbs driver+ 120lbs extras = 3,653lbs

My GT - 3,603lbs+70lbs for premium options+300lbs driver = 3,973lbs.

3,973 - 3,653 = 320lbs

Donnie has a 320lb and 80rwhp advantage over me.

So Donnie is lighter and makes more power than I do. So that tells me that Donnie is a worse driver than I am! lol.





Dirty D will be proud of me for all this calculator racing!!

In all seriousness the peak number isn't everything. Nick picked up an impressive amount of horse power and torque on the low end and the curve stayed above the previous curve all the way. The graph line did narrow in toward the top but that's to be expected when revving past 7k. If you are looking purely at the peak numbers you aren't looking at it fully.

So much win in this post.

Come on I can use google as well and the cars you looked up had cloth not leather. It does add weight. But you car in premium weighs no more than 3620 by ever site I've looked at where someone weighed there cars. So everything in my car besides the heads weighs more than stock including my new transmission and I'm still supposed to be at 3400 before amp, supercharger, speaker, etc. ok. Now between me and Jason we weigh damn near 400 lbs lets not forget that.

235 +155 = 390
So 390 + 3400 + 150= 3940
Your car by my math weighs 3903 so I'm heavier.
Hell in person you have said my car was heavier than yours a hundred times but on the boards oh no my car is light.

Also the real big advantage of the new mustangs is the transmission gearing.

2011 gt
1 3.66
2 2.43
3 1.69
4 1.32
5 1.0
6 0.65
Rear end 3.31

Tko 600
1 2.87
2 1.89
3 1.28
4 1.0
5 0.64
Rear gear on mine is 3.27

I would need at least 3.55 to make up the tranny gearing differences in the car. I need new rear gears anyways so it's on the list but I don't feel like doing it for now. Use google some more Steve but you might want to buy a new calculator because your math doesn't add up

LOL, well you are right about one thing in this post, something doesn't add up. There is no reason my slow, stock car with my no driving extra fat ass should be even close to your built blown car.

It's not built. It still has the stock short block for god sakes. Hell I still have the stock rear gears in the car. Would a built car still have that?

It's a racecar compared to my stock car. Stock motor, stock gears, etc.

Steve just because my car has more mods than yours does not make it a race car. Once I get a built motor then you can talk all the shit you want but till then no race car. Since I have no plans in the immediate future to build a motor you have a long wait. I will be changing gears shortly and fixing my tach but no built motor.

You are taking this WAY too seriously. Its our hobby, just have fun with it all. Racing, fun smack talk, hanging out, car shows, it's part of all the fun! I'm not taking any of this seriously at all. I'm just excited you have a car again and we can have some fun. Don't let the competitive stuff drive you nuts, just have fun with it.
