Mustang MPH?

Floyd Staggs · 02-20-2009, 05:30 PM

Does anybody know what the mile an hour was on Stinnets 9.81 pass? That's a hell of an improvement from Pomona.

Paul Neal · 02-20-2009, 05:49 PM

I think it was just over 133.
Not bad for a "street car"!

How is that an improvement? -1.088 at Phoenix and -1.117 at Pomona

Floyd Staggs · 02-20-2009, 07:13 PM

10.18 @ pomona 11.30 index
9.81 @ Phoenix 10.90 index

Isn't that an improvement?

If this is a Cobra Jet I saw one run 138 MPH at Fontana.

138 mph on ONLY 425 hp.... amazing!

You know, I have been reading all this stuff about the CJ Mustangs for almost 3 weeks now. I really get a chuckle out of all the Crying and Bitching by the Chevy guys about how Bogus the HP rating is on the new Mustangs. What really gets me is where were all you Cry Baby's when the LT1 and LS1's were kicking *** and taking names a few years ago with Bogus HP ratings??? I didn't hear anybody from "the group" griping then.

Are the new Mustangs a little shy on the rating? Hell yes! Will it all work out? Probably will as long as there is an NHRA! Thats another subject though.

Relax, take a deep breath and it will all be OK. From what I understand the HP ratings will be going up in another 3 months or maybe sooner if one of these guys goes brain dead on a pass.

I hope to see all your smiling faces at Belle Rose in 3 weeks. I'll be glad to allow you to buy me a beer.

So I guess what a majority of you are saying is that Ford should have told NHRA to rate this combo at say 550 hp or better out the box. Did NHRA not rate the LT1 and LS1 combo's soft initially?
I don't get it, these cars have only attended two or three races and you GM guys want put the car out of the class. Ford did exactly what any other manufacturer could do, if these guys go out there and run too fast they will get horsepower. If enough of you cry NHRA might change the AHFS because of one car but how many other combos might this affect? If they did something it would have to be across the board so we would be right back where we were in the begining; the Cobra Jet at the head of the pack!
I really can't believe this car has caused this much of stir.

RJ, there are two big differences here. 1. the Lt and LS cars were rated at a HP that was advertised and sold through showrooms. it wasn't falsely rated to give it an advantage 2. a Blower, end of story.

Its comparing apples to bananas
