found a guy with a 5.0 to race last night. we had 2 runs. first one was a dig, he let off right as i was passing him... typical mustang behavior

next race was a 40 roll. it was about 60 degrees out that night and my turbo was loving it.

5.0 was stock with brembo package and i think he had the 3.73 gearing as well. theyre really not as fast as everyone says they are. i also stomped an e92 m3 a week ago with the same results as the race with the 5.0 here.

Good kill. Props to giving him a dig, I don't think 90% or more of the owners on this forum would do that to any RWD or AWD car.

i usually give everyone a dig. even that one ls3 corvette i raced a few weeks ago. helps me improve my launching skills. i realllly need drag radials when i go out to play tho.

DerekDTP!

nice, funny he let off on the dig run lol whatre all your mods?

Shibito

Eh, to be honest it's almost hopeless with anything on the street. Just have to get the feel for pedaling through it.

i know it would still spin from a dig, but it should grab sooner. and i need drag radials mainly from a 40 roll. my car should be making about 400tq and it would be nice if it would grab from a 40 instead of spin for a second or two.

yea im thinking of getting nitto nt555's next time in the same size. they arent that far off from price.

RKRamos

Nooooo!!!! Get the NT05's! They're awesome!

Shibito

You realize Ford offers a Whipple Blower package for the new 5.0's with the full warranty still intact right?

I didn't like the 555's, see below

Couldn't agree more.

i have a feeling thatl bite them in the ass one day.

If you're feeling really ballsy get the NT01's

Shibito

Not many people get it because for the price Ford charges, you could be making a lot more power.

The NT01's are ABSOLUTE garbage!

RKRamos

iTrader: (11)

Are they really? I thought they were suppose to be better than the 05's

Shibito

So did I, that's why I tried them. For reference, my BFG KDW II street tires hook better on the street and at the track. Straight line and around curves.

Better than the 05's?

(sorry for thread jacking)

Shibito

Better then the 01's. I know many people with the 05's and they are amazing.

RKRamos

iTrader: (11)

I have 05's now. I might be going with the Mickey Thompson's DR's next.

Good tune, intake and simple exhaust ( not header back just axle back muffler delete ) will make a 5.0 a totally different beast. Ask me how I know . They are quick for stock cars , 107- 110 is not a ( slacking ) of a car but with those mods they can trap 116 - 119 and that is under 1k of mods. I could pull my buddy till 125 in his m6 5.0 when he was stock but now that he has a intake, exhuast, and tune he totally rapes me after 100.

Great kills Dart keep up the good work.

Cobalt_Daddy

Awww i just bought v12's . Ah well. I guess i dont race enough to need them.. Besides that im gms1 only so i think theyll work fine anyways

yea i probably have a lot more torque than you do so im sure the hankooks will be just fine for you. however, mine are 255's so idk.

I guess I fall in that 10% because I love me a good dig race. I was actually doing some spirited driving yesterday with a new 5.0. Good races OP!
