According to Motor Trend, their test mule hit 0-60 in 4.9 as well. Ford is now advertising that tested result in their brochure they sent me for 2006.JC8076 said:
Actual Gas milage/GT or STI- seriously.
2 things guys. 1- What's the true ave. gas mileage for the GT. I just dont believe that it's 21 for an 8 cyl. American car. Also, how does it feel to see a car like an STI fly by on the highway, and know that there's no way to handle/perform at that level? I want a GT sooo badly, but people assure me that I wouldn't be happy with the performance. Thanks.

And that car did NOT do 0-60 in under 5 seconds. No way, no how. My '97 Cobra was just as quick (or darn close) to the SS Camaro.Kyle F said:Nope, 00-02 Z28's. If you could get one with Cloth intereior it would have been under $30K
I guess that it is TRUE that the Stang is the ONLY car under $30K new thus far to go 0-60 in LESS than 5 seconds.pcfrisch said:http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/Comparos/articleId=47901/pageId=5979
The Chevy's 5.7-liter OHV V8 makes 310 hp at 5,200 rpm and a brutish 340 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm.
With our timing equipment at the ready, we found that the Z28 accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds and passes the quarter-mile in 13.8 seconds at 105.4 mph.
So we all stand corrected. I was assuming we were speaking of anything of "recent history". lolStoopy said:Aha! You didn't say "adjusting for inflation!"
1965 Shelby 427 Cobra - 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, cost ......$8,800.
And yes, adjusted for inflation that car would prolly cost as much or more than a vette.
Ummm, maybe it pulls harder later. But we were talking 0-60, I think. Slicks will give any RWD car a noticable improvement in the quarter. And GM seems to over-rate their cars, where I have seen Ford under-rate theirs. Car and Driver especially favors GM . An example of Ford advertising the stang 0-60 in like 5.1 then it was done by Motor Trend at 4.9. GM quit making the F-body for a reason. Also, the stang is still around for a reason. Ponder that thought.Kyle F said:Wow, Ford must have paid some serious cash to advertise in that Magazine.
Im sorry and LS1 Z28 running a 13.8?:eyebulge:
Who was driving that thing... my grandma?
Plenty of Mags out there posted sub 13.3 times for those. If you want to magazine race, I have an issue of GM High Tech Performance and they put a set of slicks on a boe stock 98 and ran a 12.9. 00-02 have more power. So figure a 12.7
Under $30K and only cost $400 for the slicks and Bam... first car under $30K to run 12s... adjusted for inflation.
There is just no way that an 05 Mustang GT is faster than a LS1. :handball:
