For $40K +, you really want to get the expected performance. If you can't get it, you really need to figure out why... Hoping this clears up why nobody else with the 3.73 gears was getting good times on their track-apps so they don't have to struggle with it like I did. Let me put it a...

Now, I know it's the track apps not displaying any 0-60 results unless you go well over 60 MPH causing an issue on 3.73 gears. With a 4.30 second 0-60, I know I made the right choice in my car purchase. I will still eventually mod my car to make it faster, but I really needed to get the...

Don't hate, appreciate! For $40K +, you really want to get the expected performance. If you can't get it, you really need to figure out why. When I post an open question on an open forum, I get all kinds of speculative answers such as: - must be the driver's shifting - must be the tires -...

Let's just say I bought my 6-speed manual with the expectation it would have the best 0-60 than any of the other 2015 models because of the 3.73 gears and the wider tires. When I could not get the 4.4 to 4.6 second magazine published times, it was not because I didn't try. Hell, to get into...

Let's just say I bought this car with the expectation it would have the best 0-60 than any of the other 2015 models because of the 3.73 gears and the wider tires. When I could not get the 4.4 to 4.6 second magazine published times, it was not because I didn't try. Hell, to get into 3rd quick...

I agree 3.55 gears do better on 0-60 than 3.73 from the current data. I bought my car to get the best 0-60 because of the wider 9.5" rear wheels, bigger brakes, and tall gears, but until I see other people consistently getting 4.4 - 4.6 seconds with 3.73, especially the same people who had 4.5...

Thanks Speedfreak13. That's my point. I found myself roasting my transmission trying to get the 'magazine' published 4.4 - 4.6 sec 0-60 times with 3.73 gears at 80 degrees F using track apps at sea level on my 2015 GT PP and have the same best time as you. I think people who are too scared...

After owning a manual and an auto, I do agree that a manual is more fun to drive since you get another knob to turn as you play with your toy. I bought my car as a toy to play with so life is not as boring. I could have bought a Prius to save gas, but I bought a V8 manual so I can have my own...

I have a few questions before I consider buying the HO complete system: 1. On 1/30/15 when the stage 2 system with the bigger intercooler is available, does this mean this new kit has better compressed air cooling but everything else in the kit remains the same (hopefully as does the price)...

I found my old dash/windshield mount acceleration 0-60 timer! So now, we have something to double-check the accuracy of the track-apps with. However, the windshield suction cups are worn and need to be replaced and I still have to wait to get my 3rd gear fixed before trying it. Ford repair...

:lol: I am willing to bet you can't even measure your crappy 0-60 time because you didn't buy the premium with the track-apps. Go buy a better car yourself or post your actual 0-60 times on your car rather than bite on somebody who currently has one of the best 0-60 times stock with 3.73 gears...

GT Premium PP (3.73) 80 degrees F, no-traction, sport mode, 93 octane, sea-level: 5.2 sec (need to hit 3rd; 5.2 was best out of 20+ attempts). Due to needing to hit 3rd quickly, broke the stick shifter the first time I tried several 0-60 runs, broke 3rd gear the second time I tried several 0-60...

On the 2014 GT people actually did get 4.5 seconds on the track apps built-in timer with 3.55 gears. On the 2015 GT with PP (3.73 gears), I have not seen people get much better than 5.2 seconds with no mods using the track apps built-in timer (unless they mod their redline to around 7300 RPM)...

I tried some 0-60 runs today for the first time since the last time my shifter broke. The shifter did not mechanically break this time, but 3rd gear did break. Now, when I shift into 3rd, the shift knob does go into 3rd but my transmission stays in neutral. 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and reverse...

I'm going to try to improve the 0-60 time by finding my old dash-mount 3-axis acceleration timer that I have not seen in many years and see what that tells me when compared to the track-apps version. I also found a place where I live that is a two-lane paved road in the middle of nowhere that...

I'll admit I bought this car for the acceleration performance. I do shift at higher RPMs that somebody who just drives the car without wanting to experience the acceleration benefit of their V8. I generally don't shift into 2nd until over 4000 RPM with my 3.73 gears. Note 4000 RPM is 24 MPH...

I waited 7 months to get my car after I ordered. Check COTUS after you order to make sure your dealer actually submitted it (mine did not submit my order for 6 weeks after I paid him with a $1000 deposit on 6/1/14). Also, I went to buy a C7 last year, but settled on the GT PP this year since...

I've been driving for just over 900 miles now on my GT Premium with PP with 6-speed manual. The fuel economy went up from 10.5 MPG over the past week, so I'm happy I am now getting 10.7 MPG average. Note I live in South Florida with no hills, no cold weather, only use 93 octane ($3.00/gallon...

A V6 Camaro thought he was fast out on the highway today. When I smoked him in my 5.0 GT (I know you were asking about comparing to an Ecoboost, but I just had to share my happiness somewhere), he rolled down the window and said, "my car is speed limited to 120 MPH!" When will these V6 Camaro...

Service shop fixed my car today (took 5 days to order and get the parts including the weekend). Repair shop drove my car on a 20-mile test drive before returning it :) . Was happy to return the Dart since that car is nowhere in the league of the GT PP. I will attempt to drive more...
