1st NA 2011+ Mustang 3.7 V6 in the 12's!!!

[z28th1s]

I took my DD 6 speed manual '11 3.7 Mustang to the track rental at MIR on 9/24/12. I was able to make the first 12 second pass by a NA '11+ 3.7 V6. My best pass was a 12.91 @ 106.49 MPH. This time eclipsed the old record of 13.02 set with an automatic trans '11 3.7 Mustang.

Here is a nice video my son put together of my runs:

Nice! I bet you could get that down even more with some adjustable shocks and struts,

Thanks :beer:

Yes, I think those would help the car. It would cut down on some of the bounciness.

and what is a hybrid tune???

It combines the low end and mid range of their street and performance tunes with the top end of their race tune. It is a very nice overall package!

The V6 makes for a great DD and it has been very fun at the track too. I have been surprised at how much interest they generate when me and my son ('12 V6) take them to the track!

Congrats this new V6 stangs are killer.

 

[Tucker]

Man, I didn't know that was you, I would have come by to say hi. The car looked and ran awesome, congrats.

 

[CharlieR]

Very nice. Congrats.

I think with a couple hundred more launch RPM that in the 12 sec run you just might find your "best". Didn't fall on its face but still looked like it bogged down on the leave a little.

Again Congrats.

Congrats! Amazing that a 6 car at sea level runs much faster times than a GT up here at elevation. These new 6's are pretty awesome.

Just wanted to say congrats!

Yes, there is still room for improvement on the launch!

The track rentals are kind of pricey, but I really enjoy the laid back atmosphere and the fact that when you are ready to make a pass there is no waiting in the staging lanes!!
