Yup just saw this on video from the Beech Bend NMRA meet. Dont we have a few around here running faster than that???

They also had a supercharger on that V-6 Mustang..

Well, I'm guessing that it's probably an internally stock motor which is pretty darn exciting really. Are there many other internally stock V6's running that quick?

[ScrapSC]

Not sure if it was internally stock or not. But it was with all the 2011 technology goodies.

[XxSlowpokexX]

how long will it last I guess. Thats the big question

Why shouldn't it be exciting? If you followed the whole article you would know that the bolt ons did little to improve performance, besides the blower. IOW it is a blower, gears, and exhaust car running 11's. NO supercoupe can claim that nor can it claim 13's from the factory. I would happily take that setup ovver the old tech 3.8/eaton setup anyday for my bird. Gas mileage would be sure to improve also. And it would still have abunch of potential left in it. There is no reason NOT to be impressed with this.

This thread is talking about a 2011 model, not an older model like the link that you posted. And in case you didn't know there's a member on this site with a SC powered V-6 Mustang that runs mid 11's and he goes by the name of Roadhawg, look him up.

Well of course you are starting off with new technology and a lot more hp...Besides everything else. And no supercoupe due to that and its weight is claiming 13's stock..just aint happening. So being relly impressed with a high 11 just isnt as impresive on a 305hp stock n/a mustang as it is on an already factory SC'd much lower hp thunderbird....I am however impressed with the new motor overall and expect that kind of performace with a blower.

As for a high an SC running high 11's with bolt ons....Depends what you consider boltons..How long the factory bottom end holds also is beyond me. But we do know a stock cammed SC motor with stock mustang split port heads TB and what not can get you into the low 11's. unsure what the best 1/4 or power that has been conducted on a stock bottom end..Maybe Ira?

Now single or twnurbo that new stang motor and lets make some real power!

Personal note: Supercoupe technology is over 20 years old, and the 3.8L 90-degree V-6 wasn't the best engine technology (even back then). SC's are pretty unique cars and they will always have their place in history, but it's no surprise newer technology is superior to the old.

I saw this on accident when checking out a buddy of mine that was running in King of the Street.

11.70's from a street car are impressive no matter what it is. Throw in the fact it will retain close to the factory fuel mileage of 31 mpg and most importantly retain it's factory 100,000mi warranty and there is again no reason to not be impressed. Honnestly though I am really sick of hearing about the weight being a factor. The new Mustang is no lightweightit is approaching that of the 89 to 97 t bird. Especially considering many of the t bird guys are getting weights down to 3650.

So what's a 305 hp 2011 mustang with mods cost?

vrs

The cost for an 11.7 t'bird.
