They also post their shows on their website. It should be on their site about a week after the show.

That MPH does appear to be a bit off..LOL

Their stopping distance of 118ft seems to be off as well.

3.55 gears could explain the mph.

No, a stock 5.0 vert won't trap 116 in any configuration from Ford.

If it is a vert that they tested then there are no optional gears, only 3.31's.

We'll see what's what when the show comes on.

It's a vert. They took the car down to Capital Raceway a few weeks back. They do the show 15 minutes away from me in Owings Mills, MD. My friend got to ride in it.
