Wow......I never knew. I would have thought the GT350R was around 3.5 0-60.

Jesus, if the 2018 GT is just as fast............

He bigger question is, does the MY18 take 87 octane at all?

We'll see. I'd bet it does.

We're driving 435+HP Mustangs, and have been awhile. What have you been driving?

I've been driving a pickup all over North America visiting road tracks with my bikes in the back that do 10 sec quarter miles and top out around 175. Adrenaline with a capital A! Drag a knee at 120 and you'll sweat a little.

Gave that up and getting back into cars.
Oh, and a chipped B5 Audi S4 is nothing to sneeze at.

Hell NO. My guess is premium only, just like the performance packs.

You mean the FRPPs, right? Not the PP cars.

Just imagine if the GT350 had the 10-speed auto. :cheers:

Typically when direct injection gets added to a car then 93 octane becomes a requirement.

Yeah... That's not true at all. :doh:

There are states where 93 octane isn't readily available. California, for instance.

I don't think Ford can afford to let Mustang sales end in Cal-I-forn-I-a.

We are truly living in a golden age of performance cars. I'm 46 and remember as a kid having a Vector poster on my wall with a posted 0-60 number of 3.9 seconds. Even then, the car was over $200K. It did the quarter mile in 12 flat. Testarossas were doing it in over 14 seconds. The quarter mile king was the ZR1 in like 13.6 seconds. The fact that this "every man's" car can put up these numbers is just amazing.

So you can't own a '18 in California? I think 91 is the max there (and other states).
