Videos: Tuned 2011 Ford Mustangs already in the 10's

There's no doubt that the 2011 Mustang GT is one of the most potent ponycars to ever come from Ford, but to the Mustang faithful, a big part of its legacy will be how it takes to the aftermarket. The new 5.0-liter V8 seems to be off to a good start, with at least two different modified 2011 Mustangs already achieving ten-second time slips at the dragstrip.

The first to achieve the feat was JPC Racing, who had their 2011 Mustang out at the track within 24 hours of receiving the car. Using 4.56 gears, beefier upper and lower control arms, racing slicks and a 100 shot of nitrous, JPC's 'Stang nailed a best time of 10.96 seconds @ 125.75 mph. A short time later, the boys at Evolution Performance nailed a 10.88 @ 126.66 run using just 3.73 gears, a prototype cold air intake, Eaton Trutrac differential, D.O.T. approved racing tires and a 100 shot of nitrous.

While the numbers themselves aren't all that impressive, the simplicity of the modifications and the brief time in which they were developed surely are. We can't wait to see what the various tuners around the country can do once they have time to develop more parts for the new Mustang.

Lighter than an IS-F, bout the same as an M3 for comparo sakes

Mustangs are crap, Who cares it can do 10s? Take it to bends and it's like a boat.

Notice it's modded. You can build Sc3 with half the price of stock mustang 5.0 that will do 10s

Yes I noticed it's modded . Quite frankly you can build most anything to do 10's. Diablo smart car anyone?! lol. I was simply comparing a stock 10sec car which the article is based on, to this price wise. I won't argue that the Sc3 is cheaper, but it has no bearing on my prior statement lol

J.P.

people buying stangs are not worried about the bends, 99% of people never track a car nor really care, they have some cheap power that feels good

J.P.

if you want a 12+ year old car sure, but we are taking 2011 here

It’s not the best car in the world but ford should be given credit for putting a 3600lb ride on the market, it does show ford is moving in the right direction in times where cars are so heavy
