2015 Ford Mustang - General Discussion

[Badasp5.0]

C&D has the ECO running 13.9 @98, in case no one has mentioned it.

C&D 1/4 mile times make me lol. I cannot wait to MM&FF gets a hold of one.

Motortrend was even slower though in an auto.
Just pointing out that SLASH's numbers are ridiculous, that's all.

The trap speed is the same but it makes me wonder what their elevation was because that can change up to a second.

Its unlikely but not ridiculous if anything its only around 5 tenths to fast IMHO depending how good the new car can 60 foot. As I stated before best LS1 Fbody time is 12:80 and '11 GT is 12:60.

Same here. Watch it be some hot cali dragstrip with a bad DA.

Apparently the only modifications to the Ecoboost for Ford Racing's test where this:

2.3L EcoBoost FRPP Modifications: 12.56 secs (109 mph)
- Performance Rear Subframe Kit
- Heavy Duty Half-Shaft Kit
- Draft Shaft Safety Loops
-Prototype Off-Road Exhaust
-Ford Racing Development Engine Calibration

- Hoosier Drag Racing Slicks (Rear)
- Weld-Racing AlumaStar Drag Wheels (Rear)
- Recaro Race Seat

Milan Dragway is 700ft elevation. Those mods put it at 12.56 @ 109mph. I'm wondering if it low 13s are possible. I've heard claims of Taurus SHO's running 12s stock and that's a 4,400lb car so who knows.

What? I don't think so. Doesn't matter if it's AWD. That car's a pig.

Yep those are low 14s high 13s stock at around 99/101 MPH.

My thoughts exactly. Just relaying information

Whats is funny SHOs stock 1/4mile times and MPH is exactly what 94-95 Cobras run stock. I love my 95 but it is a slow pig.

 

[Omnis]

Slash, I've taken so many grains of salt that you've given me high blood pressure.

 

[Badasp5.0]

our local Mustang Dyno Shop, The Dynos Edge just dynoed a '15 GT 370hp 359tq its owned by the wife of local SSO racer/champion John Urist.

at the size difference.

 

[Tornado]

As I stated before best LS1 Fbody time is 12:80 and '11 GT is 12:60.

I'm not sure how that isn't proof that it has obviously been messaged.





Speaking of:

-Prototype Off-Road Exhaust
-Ford Racing Development Engine Calibration

So the only modifications done are the exact kind of purposely vague modifications that can add quite a bit of power to a turbo engine with a flat torque curve. Thanks Ford! Between you and Dodge's "the engine could make way more power" silliness with the Hellcat, it's the 1960s all over again!

 

[ProjectWHaT]

I never noticed how similar those two generations looked until now. Damn.

at the size difference.

[Slash]

The car is still much smaller dimension wise.

 

[Tornado]

Fox Body: The sized Mustang Europe wants, but not the sized Mustang it deserves.

 

[Zenith]

The car is still much smaller dimension wise.

5 inches longer, 2-4 inches wider, and an inch taller?

I wouldn't say "much."

 

[Slash]

5 inches longer, 2-4 inches wider, and an inch taller?

I wouldn't say "much."

On paper no. In person, oh hell yes.

 

[Tornado]

That's mostly because the 2014 model has "Modern Car Awkward Proportions™" than the actual size differences.




Though it's still too big.

 

[McLaren]

I wouldn't even try to make sense of it. He decided to not learn what perspective was when he was told before.

 

[Badasp5.0]

With a '15 in the hands of John Urist I wonder how long till we see a Hellion Turbo kit for the 15s.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Are we starting the size argument again?

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Size matters not, but how one uses it.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Hmm. Terminator. *drools*

Gimme gimme gimme.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

And apparently Cobb is already tinkering with the Ecoboost. This is going to be good..

You would love that shop I swear every time I go there to visit there is a Termi or two around.

Here's a good read from Yahoo Autos on the Ecoboost. Pretty cool video of them ripping on it as well.

Hope it's better than what they've managed with the Fiesta.

It's Yahoo! Autos. No petrol head is actually writing reports on there.
