GT500's and New 5.0 (Family Mustang Content)

[SHHHH]

Sorry for the messy driveway. My parents are doing some landscaping. Nothing fancy. Just some unedited cell phone pictures.

I was in town for a week and my brother decided to drive up and hangout for a few days. My Dad just picked up his '14 GT/CS so I figured we'd take a few shots. Any questions feel free to ask. Enjoy

2014 Mustang GT/CS(California Special)-Oxford White-My Fathers

*Red GT in background is my old '96 GT, paper filter stock. Just in case anyone got curious.

O snap son! Hahahha probably not.



My older brothers is stock and so is my Dads. Mine on the other hand needs to be thrown back on the dyno. Previous set of mods it was only making over 700ftlbs from 2800-4900rpms. Maybe one day it'll be able to get out of its own way.

5.0 finally makes good NA power, but them cars are just heavy!!

[SHHHH]

Ya they are not light. Still pull 12second timeslips right out of the box which is not too shabby.

[blake06gto]

base model 5.0's run around 3500lbs or less which isnt too bad for modern day pony cars. my camaro after going with different wheels, lighter exhaust and maybe a couple other small weight losers only comes down to the 3700lb dry mark. of course, the stang and camaro look like hatchback civics in weight compared to the challengers lol.

hope ya'll don't try to take a highway loop together. might not make it out

I believe he was making a dated joke about mustangs handling poorly.

Hahaha. If so, he would be sorely mistaken.

[MOWE]

Hahaha. If so, he would be sorely mistaken.

In fact the 5.0 ran a better time then the M3 recently around the track...they hold their own now

Ding ding ding

It would be awesome to take one of these gut it, and upgrade the suspension. I bet it would be ridiculously fast both straight and in the twisties.

[alpine_aw11]

I remember how hilarious comparing Hondas to Mustangs and saying they cant turn was.........when I was 12ish.

Don't tell anyone else that. The Mustang platform is still junk in a lot of peoples minds. The next gen is getting IRS and dropping 200-300 pounds(rumored) which would bring it down to 3200-3100lbs. In some minds It'll still be a heavy pig that cant turn. Just because its called a Mustang haha.

Doesn't matter too much what the ignorant bench racers think when you're out in a car capable of beating most other cars on the road at... anything. lol.

Nothing but respect for where Ford is going with their line up. I'm hoping I can get into a 05-10 GT soon. Either stock '10 or hopefully supercharged '05-09 since they're a good bit cheaper in stock form.

I'd dish out a little more and get a stock 2011 5.0. You'll be happier in the long run

Did you see the spy shots of the new mustang with the IRS setup? Looks like ford wants to be taken serious in all categories. They've been making a big push into the track scene lately

Ford Racing has done well with their s197 platform. As for road going Mustangs the solid rear Boss 302 and GT500 handles its own very well. More of the market is going to IRS and caring about comfort, feel and theoretical lap times around tracks 99% of car owners will never drive on, let alone see. I dont mind feeling every bump on the road while im driving my toy. Thats just my opinion.

I am excited to see how Ford goes about making a global Mustang with their next gen.
