10 speeds are .5 seconds quicker in the 1/4 than their 6 speed counterpart . e85 bolt on 10 speeds are the king ding-a-ling around my part... not for much longer. though.


you would fair much better against a 6 speed gen 3. vs a 10 speed gen 3
I'd take a 6th gen camaro ss over the mustang especially for NA build

Probably 10-11s range.
Seems about right, raced another A10 - pretty much even match and I’m running high to mid-10s.

Edit: It had an aftermarket yellow “coyote” badge, VIN says it was the premium package, I think that means 460hp.

Edit 2: It was a 2021, I think all GT’s are 460hp. If stock, maybe it had the active exhaust, sounded pretty aggressive.

Not gonna lie, for as much shit as people talked about canned tunes in the DTR thread, if bolting on a DTR and flashing a canned tune means I can frustrate Mustangs with my GTI S (and remain emissions compliant) that's a pretty damn good deal

Agreed. Just because it could be more doesn’t mean it’s not plenty fun as-is.

And similar straight-line performance to an A10 5.0 without any fueling upgrades isn’t too shabby IMO.

for comparison this my bolt on is38 gti on e blend, vs a gen 3 flex tuned. Intake and exhaust 10 speed. < non brake boosted with a passenger. this car probably was in the low 10 second range 60-130

recently the car has gone 9.49 60-130 with some new parts. < i would have puppy kicked this dude into oblivion

and this is a I/E manual gen 2.

The late model mustang 5.0 it's certainly no slouch, but it does weigh around 3,800lbs and it's only around 400hp to the wheels. A well tuned IS38 GTI should be very comparable until you get to very high speeds

Guess that’s why a 400 whp GTI can pull on a Scat Pack from a roll - lots of power but so friggin’ heavy.

It's a joke, not a dick...don't take it so hard
How long have you been sitting on that one? ;)

Phalluses aside, I finally got a GoPro so my hotboi videos will now at least show some gaps.
