but it is what she said.

hell one girl asked me to choke her lol

edit: good job evo (on topic)

 

The 60ft was 2.10!

The car has 70 miles on it, the car was hot it was not cooled down, the track sucked no big deal.

How many people pick their car up from the dealership and take it directly to the track....? Not many.... Only us...

 

i did in my 05 lol was fun to learn that the v6's didnt come stock with an LSD.

 

any other initial driving impressions of the car? Next time speed shift it

 

Not a terrible 60 ft but not great, I think? Looking through timeslips 2.0-2.1 is average while 1.9 is fairly good, yes?

 

yep on street tires, I would agree with your statement.

 

That mph is good for a 12.6 with a flat 1.9 sixty, that and eliminating the wheelhop. I know that in my car(a g35 sedan), I can cut a 1.9 sixty with wheelhop, and cut the same sixty with a deadhoock/slight bog, and I'll pick up 2mph just from traction.

 

Whoa whoa whoa, you're letting this get to my head. I was expecting someone to tell me how **** wrong I am.

Anyways, where's the full timeslip and dyno numbers?

 

2.10 60ft is not bad bad but not good either.

A 1.9 60ft and I can see it running some 12.8s.

 

LOL, nope its all good. Even if you drive a 2010 camaro or a Genesis

 

I am curious how much the skinnier tires (255's?) will affect the 60'. Any ideas?

 

A skinnier tire would definitely not be good for 60fts.

Are you talking about non brembo package equipped stangs that will come with the all season tires?

 

I'm guessing they took the car to Cecil County. They do test and tune on Wed. nights. Fast track but can be dicey with traction. I ran the time in my sig there. I think considering the engine isn't broken in yet, had no track prep whatsoever and run hot it did quite well. 2.1 60ft time leaves a lot of room for improvment. It's a legit 12 second car. The key will be finding the sweet spot for launching and powershifting.

 

I think the Motortrend 12.7@113 or whatever has raised all of your expectations too high for a stock 5.0. 99% of people won't turn numbers anywhere near that. I think the average # is going to be 13.0@111.

 

The base GT comes with 235's, right? The Brembo equipped car comes with 255's, right? How much improvement will there be between the two, on average (estimate, obviously) and is there a limit on what the 255 can hit in comparison to a wider tire (e.g. Camaro's 275's)? Might be the first upgrade then!

 

I am not sure about the size of the base GT tires. I can tell you they will be a lot harder to drive. Somebody making a first run on them at the track, and one that was not prepped well, unless they are highly experienced at racing would probably see a 2.3-2.4 60ft time and mid-to-high 13 quarter mile.

The car appears to be very tricky to launch. It will take some time behind the seat of the thing, and at the track, to consistently launch the cars on stock rubber.

275s would help a decent bit also.

 

Definitely what it looks like to me also.

 

I definitely respect y'all taking delivery of the car and going straight to the drag strip.

I remember in 1990 when my dad bought a 90 LX 5.0 that was the same exact thing he did.

Of course he had the motor out of the car by the 3rd day though.

 

Also, assasinator, how are you feeling now? A bit better.

 

110mph is good news. It is indeed more difficult drag racing on street tires than with a drag tire. Especially with higher power levels.
13.0 will be avg for street tire runs, but sub 12.5's will be avg with drag tires.
