new Mustang 5.0's are hitting the strips.

It's kind of amazing that the Mustang weighs close to 4,000 pounds and it's the lightweight member of the group. I don't think the typical 409 Impala weighs that much.

It's a far cry from my '88 LX notch. Sans engine and trans, I think two decent sized guys could pick that thing up and run down the street with it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smirk.gif[/img]

NO other things done to it yet. They are shooting for the 10's with a light addition of nos and a tune and slicks. Sweet. These cars are going to rule the streets. </div></div>

Not even close to stock. There's a couple over on the SRT8GC forum running mid-11's N/A, but they're 440-inch+ strokers, gutted interiors, and modded to the b@lls.

Edit: In fact, I believe one of them is the same truck that appears in one of your videos. Yeah, not even remotely stock.

[flyingn]

The new 5.0 is not even close to 4000 lbs. They are 3600 w/o a driver.

Norm, NO SRT8 Jeep runs anywhere close to 11's stock. They are 13 second cars on a good day

Well, yeah, dry weight on a base stick car. Evolution's car is loaded. 3800 and some change in the beams with a driver in the seat. That's pretty close to two tons.

Our '10 Camaro was 3840 without anyone in the seat...dead nuts on 4000lbs with dad in it.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: old5.0</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Update on this.

With a drop in filter, tune, Borla axleback, rear suspension, Bogarts and slicks:
</div></div>
Those Bogarts are a serious drag wheel setup...what size wheels/tires/brakes do the Mustangs come with? On the '10 Camaros you have to do a complete brake &quot;downgrade&quot; to get them to fit...without a brake change, I believe an 18&quot; wheel is as small as you can go? A guy could really pick up some et/mph from simply getting away from the huge 20&quot; wheels/tires...
