2012 Vortech Mustang GT vs 2012 Tuned and Lightened 5.0 GT 11's

So if hes squeezing or not its just really hard to believe that his cars is going 11.1@ 120mph

I can see 11.7 or even 11.4 but not 11.1 with that type of mph. and I never will.

- 200lbs + 2mph

- Spoiler ~ + 1mph maybe (exactly +1mph in a stock '02 mustang)

+ Tune your transmission (power-shifting) +1-2mph

+ GT500 Exhaust

+ 3,500rpm stall (5,000rpm clutch dump)

If all those estimates are remotely accurate, your car would trap around 120.

Other things to note: He has modified suspension (road racing), figured out how to tune out torque management (which allows him to power-shift), and he is most likely lighter than you.

@tarik916(cont) He picks up 8mph in the 1/4 mile just from his tune and weight???? no way dude. All the stock 5.0s Ive seen run 111-113 stock. and to top it all off ive raced 9 stick mustangs with bolt-ons and beat everyone. Now lets go a step further if shawn is such a great amazing tuner how come the guy could not tune my car ?? After 9 passes on the dyno he gave up and sent me home with my car barely running. And while I was there he had 2 phone calls from people who cars blew up

@shelbystevegt500 He did, but says there is still something wrong. A 600hp Mustang should not trap 122. My 450rwhp '02 Vortech Mustang trapped 119mph, and 125mph with 510rwhp. This is with MUCH less torque, at 450.

It's easy to call someone a fake when their results are hard to believe, but there are many factors that you may not have considered. Let's use your car as an example. You trap 115 as is. (cont'd)

@tarik916 Ok let use my car..... my car is not stock and i run 115 he is stock and he goes 120.. So really we cant use my car because i have about 2,000.00 worth of bolt ons on my car. and hes suppose to be stock with a tune .

[shelbystevegt500]

The guy in the lightened mustang is sqeezing theres no way he could hang with that vortech car. I seen that car go I was there you can totally tell hes sqeezing. he went 100mph in the 1/8 with just a tune and lightened. I call bull shit!!

@shelbystevegt500 He is definitely not squeezing. I have known him for 10 years and know that he would not put his reputation on the line by lying to the world. He owns the top tuning shop in the area, and offers this exact setup to his customers. It is all in the tune, and does not all have to do with hp numbers. No nitrous necessary. Now, there is definitely a problem when a 600rwhp supercharged mustang only traps 123mph.

@shelbystevegt500 If he was just some guy at the track, I would feel the same way. The performance is amazing!
