Here's The question. I have a 2011 Mustang GT 5.0. It has a steady cold air intake exhaust in SCT tuner with 93 Race program. Can it be a stock 2008 Corvette. My buddy really wants to race me but I do not want to ruin the Mustangs reputation of being a badass should I do it or not. he says he can smoke me
GT 5.0 vs. stock Corvette

its not really a good comparison but will put a vette in its place and just for them to come back well race the zr1 against it lol. Then we have a 5.8 still less displacement and walk it by a car lol. 5.0 vs camaro then 5.0 vs vette then 5.8 vs zr1 or boost the 5.0 and then race the zr1. I can just say ford did a very good job on the new motor i mean old design but finally made it happen.
Just spray on him and tell him its stock and leave him scratching his head lol.

If one adds the other factors of this thread-age difference, mods, tuning- then getting real means it is more likely the 5.0 will win than the chevy.
A few posts ago the stats were posted stock vs stock, with a .2 second quarter mile difference, I believe. Before aging, mods, and tuning.

Just to let everyone one know. The stang came out ahead by a car length. His corvette was a stock base line 2008 but it was still fast ass hell of the line. Took him at the end

At the track right?
What were the times?
If you were able to beat him, he needs a few driving lessons. LS3 Corvettes run high 11s/low 12s in the mid-high teens with the right drivers. Your car on any given Sunday *should* be a couple/few tenths behind by the end of the 1/4 mile. And it only gets worse from there. Should be a really good race with an LS2 Corvette though. But of course anything can happen in a race, so enjoy your victory. Just don't think it will happen every time. Those LS3 Corvettes are nothing to be taken lightly.

Edit: And for the record, I think you mean a "Steeda" cold air intake

I can compensate. Once my son gets old enough for the front seat, i am getting a vette. Don't even need the grand sport. Amazing car. Will keep the accord for when the dog needs to go for the ride with usTooSlow4U said:
Base Corvette for lack of manliness? Everybody hates it so much on our Mustang forums and it is superior than the 5.0 in every way stock for stock and mod for mod in n/a fashion.
More power? Check.
Lighter? Check.
Turns better? Super check.
Why can't we be CAR fans instead of some idiotic fanatical loyalty to a car when there is always a better one out there.

Equal drivers in both cars, that wouldn't happen. Things are never equal though, so it turned out how it did. An intake/tune 5.0 is close enough to a stock LS3 where it is a very close race either way, but in reality an LS3 Corvette is a better race for a stock Boss 302. Even then, it has the edge.
