2010 Ford Mustang GTWe're acquisitive there's some "there there" with this one, but actuality goes. Car & Driver went bottomward to the GingerMan Raceway in South Haven, Michigan area they ran into some Ford engineers with a few pre-production 2011 Mustangs. Aside from some adjustable shocks (which C&D feels are best acceptable aloof for development), the big aberration was the tires on one of the mules.2010 Ford Mustang GT
Pirelli P Zero Corsa R-compounds, to be precise, in abode of the "regular" P Zeros begin on 2010 Clue Packers. In added words, authentic supercar. In fact, those tires appear banal on the Lambo LP560-4, for instance. The catechism again becomes, why would a Mustang charge honest to advantage supercar meat? One account is that Ford is aloof arena about with altered annoy compounds. Another though, is abundant added interesting.
C&D claims that the Corsa R-compound car was lapping the 1.88 mile clue aloof as bound as the accepted BMW M3 they brought along. But how could a 315 hp car accumulate up on a clue with a 414 hp car? Weight? Maybe, because the Mustang weighs about 200 pounds beneath than the M3. Don't say torque, because the Mustang alone beats the M3 by 25 lb-ft there. Tires? Well maybe, but the Michelin Pilot Sport 2s on the Bimmer are appealing adhesive in their own right. Despite all that, 414 horses should accept bankrupt up.
Well, what if the 2011 Mustang Mule with the adorned tires had a 5.0-liter, 32-valve DOHC Coyote agent blame out 400+ hp and 400+ torques. The world's affliction kept abstruse agent could additionally explain the agnate lap times. Now dig this, there's additionally a baby achievability that the white mule depicted in the commodity -- the one that appears to be missing a tailpipe -- isn't a V8 at all, but is instead an EcoBoosted V6 model. Did the car C&D ran into accept the new 5.0-liter Ford V8 or the absolute six? They didn't say. But if they saw the adjustable shocks that agency they saw the awning up.
