So a couple quick observations/stories for you guys... Sorry no video, I know that's what you all want to see, I'll get some video of these observations as both these guys are buddies so we run each other frequently. I have pictures in place instead.... its something.... lol
Anyway, read on;
I'm fully bolted Stage 2 UNITRONIC, not exactly sure the power numbers but its healthy for Stage 2. I managed a 13.5 @ 105mph best 1/4 so far, with a less then stellar 60ft.
MK6 vs 2013 Ford Focus ST
Friend number 1 drives a white Focus ST with the following mods;
- COBB Stage 3 tune
- FMIC
- HKS Bov
- Full turbo back, catless
- Tranny dog bone mount
- Short shift kit
- Coilovers
He puts down 261whp and 335wtrq.
We have done many pulls, and I am able to run side by side with him or, sometimes edge him a bit, but it's pretty even most of the time. He tends to spin quite a lot in lower gears as do I, but he makes more torque then I'm probably making so I gain traction sooner. Sometimes from a dig I can get him but if its a roll, we are usually pretty even.
He just bought a GT28 kit, so guess I have no choice now for K04 or better.... :iono: Friendly rivalry's suck lol...
MK6 vs 2010 Mustang GT 4.6L
Friend number 2 drives a 4.6L GT, literally one just before they switched to the 5 dot. He has the following mods;
- BAMA 93 Octane Tune
- Ford Racing Intake
- Header back exhaust/xpipe straight through muffler
- Short shift kit
He says hes putting down around 300whp and 315wtrq.
I have raced stock 4.6L GT's and walked them pretty hard. So I trust his number suggestions somewhat. Because I had run GT's before, I wasn't too interested in running him, but he has been buggin me for ages now, so tonight I finally took the bait.
We did 3 pulls all from a roll at about 45-50kph (25-30mph). 3 honks to start each pull. We went from 50-180-190kph (111-118mph) each time. I really wish I had the video from these ones as they were good pulls.
First time I got the jump and slowly walked him up till about 180 through 3 gears starting at the top of 2nd.
Second time we were dead even pulling through 3 gears starting from middle of 3rd.
Third time we were once again very even, pulling through 3 gears, starting from top of 2nd.
He is a 5 speed, and I am a 6 speed DSG.
He has half tank of gas and one passenger, I had full tank of gas and just myself.
I was happy with the results, and he was completely surprised by them. He did not think I would be right there with him.
I'm going to get videos of some pulls and update.
Until then, hopefully these little observations help with the greater "MK6 vs" world. Knowledge is power gents. :thumbsup:
