Doesn't feel like 460hp...?

[DuRsT]

I do more city driving (very short commute) and ordered the 3.55's. It pulls hard city and highway.

With the A10, yes I'm sure it does.

I'm not overly impressed with the 3.73's and M6 combo.

I just did the math, 4th gear with the 3.73’s would hit the speed limiter. Less than fabulous for solid acceleration.

4.09’s look better.

My rear tires are 26.77" tall. (325/30/19) I would hit 158 MPH with 3.73's which would be perfect. 3.55's would hit 168 MPH.

Strange I'm doing just fine with 3.55 and M6 combo. I just make sure to floor it at 4k and no issues...

That's great, I'm glad you're happy with your setup.

I feel there is room for improvement. Mathematically my car could hit 240mph. I don't need that, being a street car I have all my fun (for the most part) under 100mph.

Just an observation, but the car just doesn't feel like it has 460hp. It just doesn't seem fast enough for the power rating. I almost wonder if they're a bit generous with the rating from the factory... Car is a 10 speed with 3.55's, I even run 94 octane.

I absolutely love the car, it just feels slower than it's rated for.

Heck, if it's not enough just go with a Demon or Hellcat....Or if you have really deep pockets, a GT, a true supercar.

Mathematically yes in real world for over 200 MPH you need Supercharger as the car aerodynamic and weight are the biggest problems. Watch Hennessey hitting 207 MPH in a 2015 GT here: 207.9 mph Hennessey Mustang

I'm aware, I had a 2013 with a blower and know what it takes.

That's why I said mathematically.

Nice and how you like your 2019 without a blower ?

What's truly amazing to me is that drag racing used to be mano-a-mano, winner take all. All hairy knuckles and brute force. Now a bunch of nerds are quibbling over some sciencey math shit. Get on the line, and wait for the tree. Doesn't matter if it's by an inch or a mile...

Yeah, that’s back when cars were slow as fuck. I kinda miss those days... The days where 500 hp could crown you king. You can’t even play anymore without four digit wheel.

I just bought a 2019 GT with PP1 and 10spd, and I love it. My last Mustang was a 2014 GT PP 6spd with a lot of suspension work and a tune and can say the Gen3 Coyote is a different animal than the Gen2 and the 10spd really plays very nicely with the car in a straight line. I would have liked to have gotten a PP2, although being in my mid 70's my clutch leg is pretty much shot...too many years of NHRA 4spd racing back in the day.
I'm looking forward to taking the GT to the drag strip to see if I can duplicate some of those 11.9 @ 118 1/4 mile passes in bone stock configuration.
Although my last door slammer was a 9.801 @ 136 Maverick, I'm pretty positive I'll see some mid to high 10's this summer at the local drag strips with GT's and 10spds.

I have plans to take my 2018 PP A10 to Woodburn this summer before I go the forced induction route. maybe i'll see ya there

Let me know when you go and I'll try and make it also.

Same problem Dave in Md.

Its a mustang thing, the high revving v8 power delivery feels soft but they do run good with crazy potential.
