I just checked the c7 zr1 fast list (not sure how often its updated), but their highest trapping stock car is also 133mph. C7 ZR1 Fast List - CorvetteForum - Chevrolet Corvette Forum Discussion
Ford Reveals Acceleration Times for 760-HP Mustang Shelby GT500
- Thread starter cam346
- Start date
The largest advantage of the RE is the fact that you do not have to deal with the insidious Ford dealers!
John kennedy and especially Fred Beans, two of the worst dealership i probably wont be buying any Fords again.
America muscle tested their 2020 Gt500. Best they could get was an 11.1 @128.
Keep in mind, Evan smith is the same guy that used to get stock 1988 mustang LX’s to run 12.9 back in the day. When the rest of us were going 14.5-13.9.

Fair points. I hadnt seen AM's test. I'll have to look ....
This is at a press test event, unlike back then where Evan could have done something (not saying he did), but cmon, he was in a stock car given to the press to rag on. The fastest time he posted will only get faster in better conditions. It may rival the 10.3 run the ZR1 has ran. Only time will tell.
Actually its not a matter of if, but when.

yea , that will be some faster and slower times by different drivers/ magazines . Didn't most magazines run high 11's in wide body RE ?

I read the 133mph pass was in Florida (not Vegas)--which would have been great conditions. Not sure how true that is though..
So many comparisons to the Dodge Yachts... those thing wouldn't be worth comparing on the road course.
GT500 out of the box is already knockin on the back door at the strip as is...

I agree. REs can't put the power down as well as the GT500.
Too much torque too soon.
Will see. Most demons catch on fire before the launch
That and 275 Pzeros that come stock. These are at their limit with the black key. It is embarrassing that dodge specced these on anything beyond the scat packs.

Wrong. As you can not buy the car with the crate parts installed prior to purchase.
Unfortunately for you, what you think "ought not be compromised" wasn't taken into consideration. If you think you can design a better car than them that still addresses what customers seem to want (e.g. safety, tech, etc..), knock yourself out.
If you're so into weight savings, why aren't you building a Fox body? They're lighter than SN95s.
134.5, the vert on the #3 spot and 140 with a full set of drag wheels/tires...that’s according to the list you posted.
btw, the hero run for the C7Z is 10.4@134 on Cup 2s and 10.2@137 with wheels/tires. Same car, same track, same driver, runs 1 year apart.
don't feel too bad, i'm a bang for the buck guy. brand loyalty and fanboy-itis is dumb.
sure i could and I think ford could too if they didn't make it so big and weren't hampered by all of the miles of rules they must adhere to because of the nanny state.
the SN is the best looking fox era (79-04) mustang.

Looks like it was a base dark blue GT500 that run 10.61 @133mph with 1.75 60' , which is pretty nice considering they come on regular Michelin PS4 tires . CF package car should be able to cut better 60' heaving lighter wheels and sticky cup2 tires
How come in this video they cut away from the boards every time the pass is over and just overlay a time slip? seems really odd...….
