The 370Z runs 0-60 in about 5 seconds and the 1/4th in around 13.7 at 104mph. That's with less tq then this V6 mustang. Granted the mustang will weigh about 100lbs more then the 370z but I still think you should be able to run high 13s with this car stock.
I agree with some of the above posts. I don't think you can get 300rwhp with those few mods, maybe 275 at most. Let's say you start at the 305hp and only take off 15%, which is being nice. You get down to about 260rwhp and let's say you got 20hp out of exhaust, CAI and 93 tune. Only 280rwhp giving it the best chances. Prolly end up around 18% loss, so about 250rwhp + 15hp from the mods = 265rwhp with more accurate estimates.
I could see it getting around 13.9-14.3 quarter mile runs though.
As long as it hands that ugly new Camaro and the ricers their a$$es, who cares how much hp it's making?
That it will... As far as the V6ers go. Almost the same engine/output in a lighter car. Though I must say, even as a Ford only kind of guy, those Camaros do look pretty darn good.
They do look good...if you're stranded in the middle of nowhere and it's the only car in sight!
The new V6 is now EPA rated @ 31mpg highway with an auto, 29mpg with a manual...
The Ford Story: The Most Fuel-efficient Mustang Ever
Just read about the new 3.7L in Hemmings Muscle Cars. The V6 will also have an optional GT suspension, which hasn't been mentioned. Look for the V6 to out-handle the GTs because of less weight up front.
My biggest concern will be what type of weight gain is in store for the Mustang. If it winds up weighing 3900 lbs like that pig of a..."Camaro," then whichever type of hp gain the Mustang receives will only be in vain.
Ford will also offer customers the option of purchasing a high-performance package for their V6 Mustangs. The package, which will become available in August of 2010, includes the following:
•A 3.31 rear axle ratio for quicker off-the-line acceleration (This is only available with the 6 speed manual trasmission)
•Firmer Mustang GT suspension
•19-inch wheels
•Summer performance tires for improved grip
•A strut tower brace for increased chassis rigidity
•Unique electronic stability control calibration with sport mode for performance driving
The GT has a 3.55 or a 3.73 limited slip on the manual transmission only otherwise you get a 3.31.
Might be cheaper to add your own gears and 19 inch tires cost more.
