I cannot justify the price of the GT500 to myself to be honest. I feel like the price gap between it and a GT is way too much.
Honestly as affordable as Mustangs are to mod I bet you can build a more track capable car by buying a GT and then building it. Hell you can surpass the HP numbers...
Hell my twin turboed Quad is running E85, headers, hybrid turbos, custom cold air intake system and putting down around 650 to the ground and it's a 4 door sedan.
I currently track a 2021 Z51 Corvette. But the cost on tracking this car is much higher than a Mustang or Camaro.
Exploring either a 1SS Camaro 1LE or a Mustang GT with the GT Performance package. Both pretty much base models so I can strip them down and start modding as needed.
Having drag...
I am not looking to daily drive my 18. It is fully built 1200 HP car. It's not stripped down so it is perfectly fine to drive down the road. Just no point in putting miles on it as it's more for drag racing.
This 22 I am going to spec in a road course car.
Anyone have a rough idea what this would produce to the ground? Looking at pulling the trigger on a 2022 GT, but not thrilled at the power levels. I have a 18 pushing around 1200 HP and trading in a Corvette with 700+
Like the look and price of the car. Just want some more out of it.
You are not going to putting low enough psi and enough wrinkle in the tire to really notice more sidewall imo. Sure you don't want rubber bands on there but sidewall is not going to help you unless you are getting some serious track already. Enough to compress it and get more tire on the ground.
Yea for sure MT over Nitto.
Also if you can spend a little and upgrade the suspension. Both steeda and BMR offer great stop the hop kits that will help immensely.
You are approaching the power levels where this is going to be needed more and more.
305s are fine at that power level... Just get a better tire. Like you said the MT Street SS or if you never ever plan on driving in the rain and want max hookage buy the MT Street Rs
You need to buy a F350 with the 6.7L Powerstroke man. It has over 1k torque at your disposal. I can personally vouch that thing will roast all 4 tires on the back if you want it to.
You wont be pulling any crazy fast drag times (unless you got a deep deep wallet) but hey you wanted torque. You...
Not at the price range it lives at. Hell I think the platform is a steal for the amount you can buy a base GT at. She might not be a looker with any options but you still have a great platform to build from. The Coyote engine is amazing even in its stock form (minus those god damn oil pump...
He has the time slips to prove the ETs etc. Do you all think the diagnostic software could be reading incorrectly?
I am on a TT setup and E85 so I am not familiar with data regarding a E30 mix and a supercharger.
You heading out to the strip this weekend? Ill be bringing my freshly built Camaro out for its 3rd pass lol.
Mustang is in the shop getting a RPG short block put in (and some other mods)
As another owner a Gen 3 you are wrong man. Those OPGs will get you and need to be replaced before putting out real power in a forced induction build.
Speaking from experience and the 15k+ I am spending to fix mine.
Nobody can answer this except for you. What are your goals for the car?
If you plan on leaving the Camaro stock I would say go for that all day long because of the warranty and cheaper price. Plus arguably a better car (opinion, dont roast me I own a 2018 GT Prem Mustang but it is highly...
