That Stangmode guy ran an S650 A10 in the 1/4 mile - either car is slow or he cant drive

Only 10pct improvement thru 4 generations. And 2pct ish for gen3 to 4 is just measurement error.

Anyone buying because "more power" is just silly. So much for all that extra complexity of dual TB, Ford. Where is the benefit in this cost equation?

They’re getting quicker, supposedly stock tune 93 octane
What gen 3s were remotely close on 93 stock??

Interesting. The Gen 3 has more power everywhere below 6500 rpm. A flatter high rpm hp curve, potentially another reason why even the 500 hp dark horse isn’t trapping any quicker than a 2018 M6 despite “40” more hp.

Milwaukee gut + a lot of lightweight stuff + 10r80 I would certainly hope so.

For the average Joe:
Twelves.

They pull a ton of weight out, do all the little tricks, run a number to sell parts. It happens every year with all the Mustang "Players". People buy parts from the company with the quickest time... This S650 is no different than an S550 at this point.

I don't know if anyone on this thread saw this post in the "Versus" section.

My main problem with the S650 is Ford moving it upmarket price-wise so regular guys can't afford/find it difficult to purchase a V8 Mustang.

Looks like I was right

Seems Alex Flores did the math on Steeda's car:

Parts alone - 13600 bucksaroos on that no tune 11.2 run.
That's not including shipping, or labour if you have a shop
install those parts.

And around a 450lb weight drop.

I figured there had to be some serious weight reduction done to the car. They said “and some other stuff” which included a serious diet, lol.

“and some other stuff”

They just posted this:

024 Mustang GT
10R80 10-Speed Auto
Optional 3.55 Gears (from factory)
Pump 93 gas in the tank, factory tune
Car weighed 3,705 lbs when we took delivery of the car. The scales were not working at the dragstrip last night, but we plan to weigh the car on Monday morning. We estimate pulling ~250 lbs out of the car before racing.
Parts added:
- Full STEEDA Suspension Underneath
- Kooks 1-7/8" Long Tube Headers
- STEEDA Rear Seat Delete
- Corbeau Racing Seat
- Billet Specialties Wheels
- QA1 Carbon Fiber Driveshaft
- Baer Drag Brakes
Breakdown on the STEEDA Suspension:
- Steeda Hardcore Rear Adjustable Ride Height System
- Steeda Adjustable Differential Bushing Insert System
- Steeda IRS Subframe Alignment Kit
- Steeda Double Adjustable Rear Shocks
- Steeda Billet Aluminum Vertical Links with Delrin Bushings
- Steeda Rear Adjustable Camber Arms
- Steeda IRS Subframe Bushing Support System
- Ford Performance Knuckle To Toe Link Bearing Assembly
- Steeda Coupe Rear IRS Subframe Support Braces
- Steeda Camber Plates
- Steeda Adjustable Rear Toe Links
- Steeda Drag Coil Over Kit
- Steeda Billet Rear Shock Mounts
- Steeda 1" Adjustable Rear Sway Bar
- Steeda K-Member
- Steeda Front Bumper Bar

No way it was only 250lbs of reduction.

20k in parts/shipping/install + 60k price tag
mine was 4k in parts + tune + 36K price tag
Same time, same MPH.

NOT ragging on STEEDA at all. There in the business to sell parts.

Ford had to do it to get the flow up due to those stupid traps. They were a huge restrictions on the Mach 1s. Not so much when you have dual intakes. Twice the surface area, twice the airflow

Please help a brother understand exactly what you mean by this. Not challenging just trying to learn.

I‘m still finding this carbon trap thing almost too easy to be real, but then I watch Tony’s dyno runs and you gotta believe what you see in front of your face.

Assuming the carbon trap filters are the same as ‘22-‘23, adding the dual intake with twin carbon traps cuts the pressure drop in half through those filters. That leads to the increase flow he was talking about.
