I had no idea cars were pulling that much over a G nowadays, last time I picked up a car and driver the Viper ruled the road at 1 lateral G.

So when was the last time you went to the track? Please remember that the question was if I could do with my mustang what I do with the vette for the same money. The answer is still no. The reasoning in your arguments is invalid. It's time to stop typing and go spend some time on the track so you can confirm what you read online with real life experience.

A stock 5.0 is more optimized for the track than a porsche? Please.

Like Carlos, you misunderstood. I just prefer to let it go out long than it needs to. My post was supplementive to the one above. No where did I say it could be done for the same money.

Boxer, Yes. Cayman, Yes. Cayenne, Yes. 911 S, I doubt it. The test had to be done on different days with different conditions or with different drivers.

Hoosier R6 (still a DOT tire) 1:49 18/275 front 19/315 rear
R888 (full tread depth) 1:52 18/275 from 19/295 rear
-Both tires are DOT approved and not true Gumball slicks-
These times were run with NO aero modifications on factory base model calipers with Hawk Blue pads and DBA rotors. Full weight as the car came from the factory. The car had more in it, on the hoosiers. I didn't change the alignment at all when switching to the stickier rubber which resulted in me cording the outside edge of the front left tire.
Next time out I added the Wilwood brakes, a lot of chamber, swapped out the rear sway bar and took the front bar to a higher stiffness setting. To many changes at once spun in the first session which resulted in flat spotting both rear tires bad enough to kill the day.
Fastest 5.0 lap was a 2:02. 100% stock!

I think you just realized you were wrong and now you're clinging to semantics because you don't like to admit you're wrong. IMHO

We can do a all mustang track day. Any takers? The vette won't be ready until late fall, but I can put some of the old vette tires on the stang to play.
