Yeah I have seen electric cars run 11's with less than a 100mph trap speed LOL. I was just talking realistic 60fts for street tires obviously

How fast do you think a car can go that traps ~111? 12.4 is going to be about the end of the road. I could maybe see a 12.3...that would be about it.
Cars start lifting the tires at around a ~1.5 60ft...a 1.7...that would have to be some amazing prep and an AMAZING driver. Would never even be close to what one could expect to run on the street.
Do you ever think that maybe the extra 100hp and a little bit more weight could make the 2011 GT just a little more tricky to launch? that is always a factor.

We will see about the 60's fairly quickly and the ultimate ET's next winter when we get the killer air. Until then its just a lot of idle speculation.
PS Ive sixtied in the 1.0's without lifting wheels but the wheelbase was a bit longer.

I have a little bit of drag racing experience - even on well prepped tracks with fast cars putting heat in the track.

Evolution Performance has just posted new dyno numbers on their Facebook page:

That's a gain of 36 RWHP and 23 RWTQ! That's not bad but we're still working on some other changes in the tune to gain more horsepower and torque. We should have that worked out by the end of the week.... New Dyno Videos will be posted shortly!

I wonder what caused the dip in torque way down there below 2300 rpm? Not that it's a big deal; the 250lb/ft it produces is still more than the crank torque my SHO produces (220lb/ft)! Wünderbar!

Ford may have tons of torque managenment in the PCM. We will see shortly.
OFF TOPIC:
Just so you know I really appreciate you taking the time (Im sure you wouldnt remember) to talk to me about the class a few years ago. I decided it was just a little more money and time than I could afford to invest. As a matter of fact I got out of racing all together (Accepting playing with my street cars). It got to be to much like work. All the enjoyment was gone. Burnt out I guess.

Gene...thanks. And please accept my apologies for being a bit....well.....rudely-blunt, I guess. I get carried away from time to time, and it sure isn't every day that someone pulls a 1.8x 60 ft on stock tires with a stock Mustang. Most impressive!
I've gotten rather burnt out myself. I could have had my 99 up and running again a year ago, but just haven't been motivated to do it. All I have to do now is put the tranny back in (even the clutch is done and in), I am just having a real hard time getting the motivation to do so. Would LOVE to jump into the same stuff you're doing....perhaps one day.
Good luck!
