13/14 - 662 hp / 6 speed / 3.31 gears = 3.5 0 to 60.
20/22 - 760 hp / DCT / 3.73 gears = 3.4 0 to 60....why am I not impressed ??
.
New Shelby is almost 300lbs heavier and makes less tq at a higher RPM. At least it was .1 sec faster. DCT vs 6 Speed is a non factor here as the 13/14 can reach 65? MPH in 1st gear, contrary, probably hurts the 20/22.

If you think thats bad, the 03/04 Cobra and 07 GT500 both ran the same exact 0-60 and 1/4 mile times despite the GT500 having over 100hp and tq.

The faster you go the less 100 hp changes the numbers.
If you have a 14 sec ride, an extra 100 hp is huge.
If your running 10's, not so much.

It just amazes me with 100 less HP the 2014 GT500 is only a tenth of a second slower than the new GT500.


Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I thought one of the party tricks of the 13/14 GT500 was that it could do a 0-60 in first gear, they geared the car so tall because they wanted to have it do over 200mph.

Your correct. First is 62 MPH and second is I believe 80 MPH.

Top of 2nd at like 6,700 rpms is 90mph, top of 3rd is close to 130 if you're taking it to 7k rpms and you can hit 165 at the top of 4th. Here is a video from 13 GT500 when it was stock. It's still stupid how fast the 13/14s are stock.
