Saw my first 2011 5.0 yesterday...

[302GTS]

Yesterday at work, I noticed a guy pulling in with a new Mustang. I shrugged it off, thinking it was a 2010, until I went out to smoke a few minutes later. I see a nice, fat 5.0 emblem on the side... I wait for the guy to walk out of my work, and I instantly start talking. He had picked it up earlier that week, and was driving the first one that came to our county! Gorgeous red color, beautiful interior, engine bay was PERFECT. The exhaust had a great, low rumble even for being fresh out of the factory stock! All in all, it was a great looking/sounding car. The guy was an all-around nice guy, and knew what he was talking about - it wasn't his first muscle car.

Car payment soon?! Who knows!

Here's a couple pictures!

Only snagged a couple... I took one of the front end, and one as an angled side shot from my phone, just enough to see the 5.0 badge on the side. What I WISH I took a shot of was the engine bay! Give me a few minutes to hook up my phone and I'll upload the two. It's a brand new phone, so bear with me as I'm still getting used to the fancy shmancy BS!

just got off the phone with a guy who has one. 2011 GT auto.

dyno'ed 412rwhp and 395rwtq

Had it at the track and ran a 12.4 @ 110ish w/ 3.15 gear.

I tried to find several different dynojet tests but could only find one

It being so new and all, I guess that is to be expected

I wanna be able to see several tests for it so I can get some kind of
average looking set of curves

I will then put it next to some sbf files I got and then I will be able to
see what is what

For just a plaything or hotrod, you sure gotta lay out a lotta cash
but
If you want a dd and your hotrod all in one
Well
I guess each person would have decide if thats what he wants

Is that 412rwhp stock?

That's almost 500hp at the flywheel with that auto. :jawdrop:

That thing is beautiful 5.0 is back

that's what the guy told me. I can't imagine there is anything done to it yet, the aftermarket doesn't make anything yet for them.

I've found two that were so close together to be representative of what the 2011 GT puts down. Both were from a manual GT with a 3.73 rear end that was run in 5th gear. The results were:

Evolution Performance: 368.6rwhp/352.5rwtq
Livernois Motorsports: 375.1rwhp/354.5rwtq

Assuming a drivetrain loss of 14% through the 6-speed tranny, that equates to 429-436hp and 410-412lbft at the flywheel.

Thanks

I'll check them out later when I got time to closely look over the data

Theres no way that was the RWHP numbers, flywheel yeah but the guy must have screwed the two up.

Space between the strut towers of the SN95 will be tighter than a cow's ass at flytime, and the real challenge might be header clearance between the frame rails. It would be an awesome swap though.
