I should have known better. I was thinking closer to 12.0 if he can improve on his original 60' time with slicks.


Edit: Fred just posted 12.04 @ 117mph - 1.70 60ft.

Congrats, that's an awesome time.

I wish they would post a pic of the time slip, that's a lot to get out of just swapping to drag tires.

"Ready To Rock on DOT Street Legal Tires!" is what it says.

Yes, E.T. Streets, basically a drag slick with a slightly stiffer sidewall and some small tread slots.

Here's what they've done to get the 12.04 @ 117mph - 1.70 60ft.

"Exhaust, Tune, ET Streets, K&N Drop in Air Filter, upper and lower control arms!"

Is that an actual posting/legit time, or was that a guess by somebody on facebook?

That number does not jive with the stock runs, nor does it jive with the 117mph trap.

I'd sure rather have seen them leave cats on it so it would be truly street legal.

Might pass a state inspection in places other than California or other hard core states but isn't technically street legal.

Those numbers just do not make sense.

Very first run, last week, was a 13.2x@110mph on street tires, with a 2.10 sixty, in good air.
This week, a run on street tires nets 12.61@108mph with a 1.96 sixty, in presumably marginally worse air(this early in the day).
Then later on, on full rubber, the same car picks up 9mph? Nine?

That middle run does not compute with the other runs. Picking up a tenth in the sixty doesn't equal a full 6 tenths on the big end(today's street tire run vs first run), especially when losing 2mph through the traps. And this car is supposedly making 40hp/30tq than last week.

And then it picks up NINE mph by swapping tires? Anybody else confused by these numbers?

I see they swapped in a Roush grille and the wheels/slicks. I can't believe those wheels fit over the Brembos!

Many people, Ford included, have said that the '11 GT MT is a tricky beast to master. All those numbers are telling me is that not only is the car getting more power and putting it down better (thanks to the UCA/LCAs), but he is learning how to drive it better. Deep staging/shallow staging can also have an impact.

Check the fb page, Fred makes a comment that the street tire run finished with the clutch in, that's why the mph was low. They were up against the limiter and pushed the clutch in.
