GT500 dyno launch . . .

My apologies if this is a re-post, but I didn't see it in a search . . . I came across this while searching for references to the Mexico Mustang in the Pininfarina thread.

They provide no numbers, but I've never seen anyone launch on a dyno like this. It gets through the gears pretty quickly:

Actually, if you notice he revs the engine up pretty high right before he drops the clutch on the dyno and in between shifts thats why you see such serious jolting. I saw a guy in an 80s camaro stock do about same thing, it is more less poor shifting technique.

bobdobolina, I was wounder what info you are talking about. The reason I ask is because I have a 67 Mustang from Mexico. There is limited info on these cars so any time I see any referance to Mexico Mustangs it gets my attention.

Hi Terry, there was another thread discussing the new Pininfarina P4/5 that had a pic of a Mustang with a 'Mexico' paintscheme. It looked like it had competed in the La Carrera Panamerica race. Here's the link:
