FWIW I know of an intake + tune + drag radial 5.0 that runs high 11's.

and bump for stage 1+ !!

I'll have to ask. Case in point, it's a capable platform with a few bolt-ons and a tune, but nothing an fbo n54 can't compete with. I know a cobb stage 1 135i will walk a stock 5.0 through 130 fairly easily.

I have to agree, my friend just bought a 2012 and was suprised by how solid the platform was and how nicely it handled (even though the electric steering was kind of lifeless). The car moves, but my Cobb Stage 2+ will definitely walk it stock...5.0 w/ tune and bolt-ons would be a good race though

Not gonna do quotes because it makes the post too big IMO. But a few notes:

There are plenty of Stage 2+ logs out there

Themyst, clap, and I have all gone above 115 on pump. Probably many other members too.

A 5.0 is a regular GT now... the next step down is the V6

Ive never run the quarter mile on stage 2 pump but id guess it's 2 mph slower than my 118 trap on the race map.

Guess is high 115-low 116.

Bmw owners reverted to magazine racing.


That's it. I've seen it all.

Full bolt on's in the mustang world doesn't mean intake, exhaust, and tune. It also includes cylinder heads (only ported heads for the 5.0 as of yet) and cams, which hasn't been developed for the N54 as of yet. There's a big aftermarket world with alot of cheap go fast goodies for the mustang. It's not unheard of for them to dip into the 11's with just intake, exhaust, tune, and drag radials...something that would normally take the N54 methanol injection.

5.0 mustang. Really? Its a Mustang with a big motor.

Different class of cars guys.. Please check http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=629530 to see how I feel about this.

You can make any car "go fast" but its still in a different class.

Also, Stage 2+ will walk a stock 5.0 and keep up/beat with a Intake+Tune 5.0

The mustang has the smallest "big" motor of all the american muscle cars with only a 5.0L displacement. Take for example the Z06 with a 7.0L V8. We could say the M3 is just a 3 series with a big motor as well...The Mustang GT is the middle of the Mustang line much like the 335. Why not compare?

Well I had to see it to believe it, especially on our local track. A 5.0 in an ideal track would trap 113-115mph bone stock, but that isn't the case here in PBIR. My trap speed of a 114mph isn't too shabby considering I'm not FBO, but I would still like to see a FBO Cobb Stage 2+ in action. Hopefully sometime early next year when it is still cold, I'll be able to see what all the fuss is about.

People on here don't know what wining races is.They look at peak numbers not mid range to top end on dyno graphs.A stage 2 cobb would destroy a jb4 map 2 and map 7.

Because the top of the line 5.0 starts at 24k and the entry level 335 starts at around 40?

Its just like comparing the GT-R The the Veyron, yes they're about the same speed but they're nothing else that is even comparable.

If you go sit in a new mustang, you know its a mustang. They're is no "comfort" in them at all.

They're a different class of cars.

Oh. Then I stand corrected. I thought you had a 116 mph run on pump...

EDIT: Mustangs are fun to drive, especially the fast ones. But at the end of the day it's the small ergonomic things and the feel of it that prevents me from being able to own one... trust me. My GF had one and I used to have one before the BMW so I am intimately familiar with daily driving one.

So when are you going to sell your car? Or run your car at the track with the Cobb?

Actually you don't even know what winning races is. To actually win in a race, you have to participate in it, not just look at dyno graphs. So...when are you going to race it?

This conversation is not about comfort. We are talking straight line acceleration. I don't know why people derail the conversation to talk about comfort when someone asks what mods they need to keep up with another car...

I ask again, when are you going to race your car? PBIR doesn't open till next week. Let's run there and see your spectacular time.

Don't change the subject, I'm calling you out to race your cobb 135 at PBIR if you really are down here.

Lets do it the good old fashion way ,off road track(I don't want to wait).You can use your 4 different fuels and map 90 also. I'll stay on pump gas for you!

I don't trust you in public roads. No need to explain either. So here's the final offer, let's go to PBIR sometime next week to see just how fast you really are.
