Benjammin1829 I know the feeling. I've got SN 1939 in competition orange. It's just a super fun car to drive. She's not a daily driver by any means, most of her miles are made on the track. I've got a few bolt on mods, cobra jet intake, boss 302R cams, wide oval twin 65mm TB, full kooks exhaust which dumps out of magnaflow competition exhaust and Lund tune. I swapped out the factory 2 piece drive shaft for a ford racing one piece and added the 302R suspension upgrade. She laid out an impressive 508 rwhp and 478 lbft torque at 8500 rpms and was still pulling hard to 9000. We decided to set the limiter at 8500 due to the factory rods were close to their limit. Best mustang ever.

I'm considering stepping "down" from my 2015 GT into a Boss. I like the more muscle car look of those and they seem more raw. I'll give Ford credit. 2015 interior is soooooo much better than the older Mustangs but exterior and just overall characteristics of this Boss is very tempting for me to switch things up.

Not just that, this is highly underpowered compared to the GT500, plus this is bloody $10k less than the GT500 amazing! Let us wish that the Camaro ZL1 brings a nice competition!

@DCsniper207 i will admit, an IRS is far superior to a live axle on the road course, yet Ford is still able to keep up with the IRS cars and still have the live axle. I'm not a fan of drag racing, but for the driver who buys this car, they get the road gripping potential of an IRS and the ability to drag race with the live axle.

Also, the s/c 5.4 4V's higher center of gravity had much less impact on the Ford GT which had a much lower engine placement than the GT500. Another advantage of building a purpose built car that doesn't have to contend with compromises forced by less expensive versions of the same car, like the Corvette has to contend with. The Ford GT's biggest handling draw-back in stock trim was the tires. They came with pizza cutter 235s up front and smaller than ZR1 315 rears, an issue easily corrected.
@LieKiller
@LieKiller 13 жыл бұрын
Another note is regarding the 5.4's impact on the GT500's handling: it isn't the weight of the the engine itself that hurts it versus the 5.0, it's that the supercharger, aluminum lower intake/intercooler manifiold (which is ~100 lbs of the engine weight difference) shifts most of that weight upwards, giving the supercharged 5.4 a much higher center of gravity versus the composite intake manifold n/a 5.0. THIS is why the 5.4 hurts handling, an issue the ZR1 and ZL1 ALSO have to deal with.

@DocWolph The 2011 GT500 weighs 3820 lbs & the 2011 GT 5.0 weighs 3602 lbs with base rims, base brakes, etc. Get a Track Pack and that goes up by over 30 lbs thanks to larger rims/tires, roll bars, and brakes. Beyond the engine, the GT500 has a heavier trans (TR-6060 vs MT-82), heavier brakes, heavier rim/tire combo, etc. There's a rough 200 lb difference and a solid 70 of that can be attributed to components other than the engine itself. The 5.0 weighs 430 lbs, the math is fairly simple.

@Janusha Yeah, you're right (about the last sentence), the reason most people go for the standard V6 is because americans love the mustang, but can't afford the one step higher GT. The V6 is still powerful (305hp), has a very good price ($22,000), and is still a legend. You can say that the Mustang is the greatest bargain on the road.

No. The 2013 GT500 is packing 662 hp in the form of a 5.8L OHC supercharged v8. The Boss 302 is all motor 5.0L....but it's lighter and can handle plenty of boost. The Crank/rods/pistons are all forged, amongst other things.
@LieKiller
@LieKiller 13 жыл бұрын
@DocWolph I said nothing about a different tune. From the factory, bone stock, a PD blower will require more transient fueling and less timing because the PD blower dump max boost into the engine at the stab of the throttle. The nature of the PD blower also requires lower compression rations. Result? Less hit than one would expect. Turbos when paired with VGT impeller, GDI/higher compression, and twin ind. VCT/VVT, can get away with less trans. fueling, more timing creating equal...

@rizegraymon1 it has forged internals, better seats & steering wheel, and better electronics as well. Don't let the 20 hp higher rating fool you. The BOSS consistently traps 2-3 mph faster than a GT in the 1/4-mile, which indicates a 20-30 RWHP difference. The BOSS cylinder heads & cams also react much better to modifications & boost.
@LieKiller
@LieKiller 13 жыл бұрын
@DocWolph Actually, properly sized turbos especially when paired with VGT, direct injection (higher compression), and Ti-VCT (or any VVT system that allows for alteration of LSA) can provide for instantaneous boost response. Superchargers can never match the efficiency of turbos while turbos CAN match the responsiveness of the roots and twin screw superchargers.

@LieKiller
@LieKiller 13 жыл бұрын
@DocWolph Regarding GT500 and 5.0 curb weight differences other than the engine, you can also add heat exchanger, intercooler fluid and intercooler plumbing to the GT500's weight, weight which doesn't come from the engine itself. Even the iron block s/c 5.4 4V came in at under 700s. Have you seen Ford Racing engine crates? Big wood monstrosities that include 2x4s and 1/2" to 3/4" plywood. The GT500 engine is also taller and wider, necessitating a larger/heavier crate than the 5.0 Coyote.

@LieKiller maybe you are missing the point. Do you honestly think they don't make adjustments to that essentially stock chassis? There are CLEAR reinforcements written all over the car. Bore,stroke, and displacement are ALL different from stock counterparts. Those are NOT small changes. A essentially stock car would be removing dead weight and nothing more.

Well said. I hate how people keep saying that because the engine is 11:1 compression ratio, it's not a good F/I car. Balony. Get the tune done right and you can run 10 PSI all day. 9 PSI is considered SAFE with a stable and balanced tune. You can't tune this car like the old 4.6 Modular. It's a completely different animal. And that's why Mustang tuners early on kept detonating engines and the negative perception was born. They just didn't know what they were getting in to.

@Janusha So what you're saying is that there ISN'T a single metric one can use to discern total handling capabilities of a given car. Well, I believe that's exactly what I was saying. There may be some truth to the idea that the tyres equipped on the car are going to have more say in the skidpad test than the car, but that's not necessarily an invalid test. They are testing FACTORY cars with FACTORY equipment (ie: tyres). Car mags aren't interested in testing cars with aftermarket equipment.

@wwiiguitarhero I don't think he was comparing cylinders. He was comparing the amount of horsepower generated per liter. Basically, a Ferrari has .5 liters less displacement, and yet produces 120 more horsepower. Going off of METALLICAROCKER's stated numbers, this means that the ford produces about 88 horsepower per liter; where as the Ferrari produces about 125 Horsepower per liter. This is saying that Ferrari uses a smaller engine and yet, produces 37 more horsepower per liter.

@MrDead67 Yes the 428 was standard on the gt500kr but it was also an engine option that was available for other gt mustangs as well as many other ford models like the torino. There are a few california and high country special mustangs with the CJ that are worth alot of money. You gould even get one in a mercury cougar with the eliminator package. I believe that in 1970 you could order a falcon with a 428 or even the 429 k-block which was the nascar motor.

@DocWolph The problem with the Zr1 is that and this goes for every Corvette, the wheel spin. The Zr1 has sticky tires, but they aren't enough to keep back 638 beastly horses. I think they've got no problem with the handling but the only problem is that the wheel spin on the car is massive, well not as massive as a Mustang which at the launch will keep spinning and beg for grip. But there is enough to put it behind its rivals in a 1/4 mile.

I agree the Corvette GS is faster on paper but that doesn't always translate to the track. In this case it doesn't. You can call the Corvette's drivers idiots for losing to a Mustang but we have to assume all drivers are on an even playing field.

@DocWolph The original Thunderbird was essentially a luxo-Vette, similar in principle with a bit less emphasis on sport and a bit more on style. The original T-Bird was a good response to Vette, but it in no way is a successor to the FGT or fitting for halo car duty. More than likely Thunderbird and the GT-successor are different projects.

@DocWolph Its actually the vid where they race the gt500 against the Z06 corvette and the New Nissan GT-R. Insidelinevideo has a actual review of the 2011 gt500. Sure of course the boss is faster around the track then the gt500. But if you put proper tires on the gt500 it will actually be a lot closer then you think, its easy an 11 sec car with some good shoes on.

@RulerOfTheKings I like what theyve done with the BOSS, they dont need turbos to get 12,s like every EURO/JAP car on the market that has repectable numbers, slight mods and ur in the 10,s u dont need a 10 sec car from the factory, it leaves nothing to work on or enhance, and yes american has been building 12 sec cars since the 60's ( Z-06 does 10's with a good driver )

When you guys put the GT500 in the Five-Figure supercar shootout, I thought "There's no way a Mustang should be in a 'supercar' shootout", and by the way it performed (compared to the 'Vette and GT-R), I think I was correct at the time. On the other hand, I guess THIS Mustang proves that wrong!!!

@Janusha It's not the end all telling of handling capability, no. But it does give a very basic measure of how well the car will adhere to an apex on a hard turn. It's just another system of basic measure......like 0-60 and slalom times. The only true measure of handling is in lap times, which only mean anything if compared to all other cars running on the exact same track under the exact same conditions, which is harder to achieve for most car mags.

@acs4llc (continued...) I would like to pick up a mid-late year 2012 model. Seems like all the bugs will be worked out by then, if they are not all good already! Amazing car the base GT is, and the BOSS has got to be beyond words!

@DocWolph I imagine your think your opinion carries more weight than it does. I've also noted you take corrections somewhat personally. So here's another: the 5.4 was introduced in 1997, not 1991. Another: the aluminum 5.4 adds 130 lbs to the GT500 versus the Coyote Another: I've disproven everything you've tried to argue, namely the 717 lb weight of the FGT engine and your misconceptions about turbo lag.

@SOFSoldier1 Dude, the laguna seca doesen't have the backseat, but this one does. So if you want true racing performance get the boss because it handels better AND STILL HAS A BACKSEAT.
