2018 GT A10 Power Band

[TheReaper]

Old thread, I know.

But as someone who owns a 18 gt 10a... what was said here describes my daily with the stang to a T. My old AMG e55 felt so much better off the light with part throttle that it was a blast to drive around town. At the track the mustang wins though. I don't always want to race around, but i do want to feel power. The mustang falls short on this most of the time. 95% of my driving is going to be around town, so this is a little bit of a problem for me. Don't get me wrong, I like the car, but I wish it had WAY more low end stock.

Do you have a 355 rear gear, because it does make a hell of a difference down low.

Good question. I've been meaning to look that up!

Don't forget that most of our cars have selectable drive modes that change throttle response and shifting patterns with the A10. Granted it won't give you more low end torque, but will give a more spirited behavior. My .02

E85 tune plus GPE 88mm tb. Done. ;).

I wish we had E85 here, I'd be all over that one.

I think I'll end up with a 2.7 whipple

We all make compromises in life.

Long flat horse power curve or low end torque.

Until someone makes a 6.8 liter dohc v8 (for pleebs) we are stuck.

True story.... when they do though, sign me up!

Yes, mine is a 355 gear and on a dirty cold road it gets a little wild on the 2 to 3 shift. :>)

Hey, prior to the 10 speed the Challenger 392 was the fastest/quickest muscle car out of the 3. Ford was dead last. Also, the 10 speed on the Camaro isn't quite as quick as the 10 speed GT for some reason. I also find it amusing the stock GT's are claiming the car is fast enough, and here I am significantly quicker with headers/xpipe/JLT intake/ported TB and ported manifold/ E85 telling you the lower rpm power could be better. I guess you're so used to slow you don't know what fast is :lol:

I don't know what car you're driving, but my GT felt so slow in stock form I had to mod it within the first month. Only have 1500 miles on it so far.

I did come from a modded Charger hellcat that would destroy 99.9% of the cars here so maybe I'm just missing that instant twin screw supercharger thrust at 15lbs in 1500 rpms.

Obviously, a high revving V8 will not feel as powerful as a modded Hellcat - not rocket science. I can say for a fact that when I give it enough gas to bring the tach up to 4.5k rpm in my 18 GT PP1 A10, the car moves faster than nearly everything on the street. Additional throttle and rpms just make it that much faster.

This 10% throttle nonsense is silly. Just give it a bit more and listen to it rev. This reminds me of the Ecoboost vs 5.0 threads. Part throttle wars.

Why are you quoting me from back in August? You should read my threads and posts more often.

Eh, apparently Wylie brought the thread back to life; a thread I hadn't seen before. I read a few posts and then replied to yours. I never checked the date of the thread since it was on page 1 of the General Forum. And I'll pass on searching your posts out and reading them.
