[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16232808, member: 68944"] The ford is priced lower than a demon so if it’s doing demon times on same the same gas and tires, but can also handle way better as well on that setup, I don’t get why you’d bring it up as a value fighter. The demon goes 9’s on race gas with an ecu swap and slicks/skinnies. Factory option or not it still all has to be swapped over, then you pull the passenger seat, set the perimeters, find an excellent track with excellent conditions and run it. Chances are actually great it would end up being door to door with a Veyron let alone get beat by the newer Bugatti on that night. I’m not knocking the demon, I like the car, but a car that can run mid 10’s with a sticky street tire instead of a drag radials is really impressive. A demon on a pilot sport cup or g2 isn’t running mid 10’s. Take the stock/modded side out of it for a sec, do you want to have to put all that stuff together on your stock demon to have to hang and beat a stock mustang? How embarrassing would it be if even on slicks and racegas and so on the demon loses because it’s still hard to find traction meanwhile the gt500 with its low torque just sets and gets away. The demon can run 9.65@140, no one questions it. How often though? Who besides dodge has done it? Who’s even gone sub 10’s? Like 10 people iirc. Considering the 97.5% of demons have yet to run low to mid 10’s all done up and fully track prepped (stock optioned!!!) the gt500 is allegedly pretty much there maybe .2-.5 off but you can leave the drag strip immediately and hit a mountain road on the same setup. A track preppe: slicks, e85/100+, tune and seats pulled/weight pulled gt500 (modded! Oh no!) should go 9’s easy. [/QUOTE]
