[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16259947, member: 68944"] [MEDIA=youtube]NxAj55LDTVw[/MEDIA] 134mph trap speed 2018 10a gt 716whp, 4050lbs. Roughly .175s shifts. 5 or 6 of them no less... The gt500 according to that press release deal today has .08s shifts. The 716whp 10a car shifted 5 or 6 damn times in that race and ran 134mph. It hit 7th gear if you listen but for sure 6th in the 1/4, maybe 7th just after. The gt500 will be in 4th gear so 3 shifts at .08 vs 5 or 6 at .175s. That right there is minimum .24s gt500 vs .875 to 1.05 for that 10a car of shift time. Anybody who’s raced a high power car knows you don’t want to shift 5-6 times in a ****ing quarter mile with 700whp even with a damn dct and super fast shift speeds. There’s just no damn point. Put this 7spd dct in that 18 5.0 and it would probably run 142mph in 4th gear. Hell, a damn th400 built 3spd with a 4.56 rear would probably hit 139/140. Here’s that gt’s Dyno.[ATTACH=full]1590675[/ATTACH] Losing almost 1 second of acceleration just so you can keep it boiling from 6700-7500rpm is a losing trade when you have 600whp from 5200. 600-700whp powerband will put a 4000lbs car well into the 130mph territory. Many terminator convertibles and trinity convertibles with driver mod are proof of this. Bottom line, I’m sticking with 132-134 trap speed for the gt500. [/QUOTE]
