Another Shootout Video: EcoBoost vs. GTs

All three cars modded:


The private property we were on to do this off the street was filled with debris... not a very acceleration-friendly surface. However, it was still a fun comparison... check out part one on my channel if you wish, as well.

I saw some times in the video but not for everything. Do you have a matrix of results for all 3 cars? Also, what were the ambient conditions that led to the comments in the video that the intake air temps were 'high?' What temps were you seeing?

Pretty fair comparison. It looked like you all could have launched at higher RPM. Not much tire slip. Just my opinion based on what I saw.
Good comparo!

There were times shown for every pull shown:
Base GT w/ PP did a 0-60, then his time of 5.6 was shown
Base GT w/ 3.55 did a 0-60, then his time of 4.9 was shown
My EB wasn't shown running the 0-60 as the video I took was messed up, but the results were shown: 5.5

Then the Base GT w/ PP had to take off and the so the Base GT w/ 3.55 did his 1/8 mile run, then his result of 8.8 @ 88mph was shown.
Then I went for the 1/8 and got 9.1 @ 82mph.

Not trying to be an ***, hope I don't come off like that. Just showing you that every run's result was shown.

The temps were about 80 degrees... IATs were around 110-120 for all of us when we started our runs. Seems like timing really got to us. All of us had better times off the video on other days:

GT w/ PP has had a best of 5.3 0-60 (never did an 1/8 mile)
GT w/ 3.55 has had a best of 4.7 0-60 and 8.4 1/8 mile
My EB has had a best of 5.3 0-60 and 8.8 1/8 mile

We all need better tires, too. Haha.

Thanks for the summary. Naw, no problem. My issue is my attention is on something else watching the video I completely missed the numbers except for a couple of instances.

I might be old school but what ever happened to just racing each other side by side, rather than using the track app.

When you race next to each other instead of using an App, you're gonna have a bad time.

You can always go somewhere safe and be responsible and run them. Some people always turn it into something else.
