UPDATED WITH VIDEO!!

Don't know whether this goes here, or the 2005+ 4.0 Tech section? But I'll throw it here, and see what happens.

After extensive dyno testing, street tuning and datalogging, we knew to go further with the 2011 3.7 V6's we'd have to purchase one of our own.

So this last weekend the AmericanMuscle team brought our brand new Race Red V6 3.7 Auto down to Cecil County Dragway in Maryland. We wanted to get a really good baseline of what this car is capable of at the track. With less than 100 miles on the car, stock tires, stock pressure, stock everything - we let her rip!

On 87 octane, the car went a best of 14.271 @ 100.10 MPH! Not too bad for a stock auto V6 Mustang (compare historically)! With the 2.73's you can let it rip pretty hard! The car is a pleasure to launch!

So with that being said, it was time to see what a Bama custom tune could do. Keep in mind, this was again - 87 octane, fresh off the showroom floor! With nothing other than a calibration change (87 Performance), we were able to get her down the track in 13.73 seconds @ 104.04 MPH!



*Sorry about the crap iphone4 picture & disregard reaction times, we were focusing on a consistent launch and the best possible results.

Wow, looks like the 3.7 responds really well to a tune also. Those times are right in line with a stock auto Camaro SS. LOL

With 2.73s, too. I was really shocked. I can imagine once we throw some 3.73's a CAI and 93 octane. These tires wont be good for much more than low-13's, though.

Spinning with stock tire pressure - I'm thinking there's probably another 1/10th or 2 in the launch - but that's the best we could get it without bogging on stock tires.

We're pretty happy with it thus far. Let's see what happens within the next week or two.

I can't remember which mag did a corner carving test of various cars that I also can't remember, lol. I think it was motor trend. The v6 'handled' better then most. I think it was a comparison of the base models of the pony cars.

Really is the performance bargin of the year

We've got a bunch of guys who have been driving, lately. This last weekend we brought 6 cars to Cecil County. The V6 was driven by Steve, one of the owners of AmericanMuscle, who really did awesome. I'm thinking he might be driving again this weekend if he gets a chance, otherwise myself or Mike Wilson of Bama.

Cool, hope the weather cooperates.
