2011 V6 vs. 2010 GT

[Maxpowers]

After looking around a bit, I'm seeing V6 dyno numbers in the low 260's for HP and low 250's for TQ.

This is making me feel a little better about my 2V. It's pretty easy to hit 260rwhp or so with a few bolt-ons......and the huge torque difference should also help the 2V. No?

Thats 308 crank hp (around 260-270rwhp).

I'm talking @ the wheels (as scup mentioned)

102MPH is really moving for a 6 banger stang that weighs 3500+.

If that car is trapping 102-104mph @ 3,500lbs with V6 low end torque figures, that 308hp figure is at the wheels. They were after all showing the car on a chassis dyno in the video.

I'm 99.99% sure that the 308hp is at the crank. If it was 308rwhp that would make it around 360 crank hp. If that car had 360hp it would be in the mid 12s for the 1/4th. Also the 2011 v6 weighs less then 3500lbs.

The 2011 from strictly ran tens I do believe. I will post up times in a few hours once I lurk the local boards to find the exact time.

Evolution's GT just ran a 10.97@124 NA the other day. No video, just the blurb on their FB page. Evolution Performance, Inc. | Facebook

Not bad for a car that's only been out for a few weeks IMO.

Their GT has run faster then that and it was the week they got it. Youtube has several videos. But we are talking 2011 v6 vs 2010 GT so not sure why we are discussing the 2011 GT.

Makes sense for it to be at the crank. Kinda misleading for it to be strapped to a dyno.

They've gone faster than 10.97 NA? Wonder why they posted it up on FB as the first to 10s NA just yesterday.

Oh and forums tend to have topic drift quite regularly...live with it.

I believe they mean the first 2011 Mustang into the 10's.

If you're talking about my link, here is the text. They are clearly talking about the first to do it Naturally Aspirated which was stated in my post.
