[QUOTE="twistedneck, post: 15427172, member: 130159"] it is? please explain how.. 3800lb car, manual trans, guessing DA is about 2500 (typical Michigan summer). Combine that with zero drag strip optimizations in the Mustang - same with the Z28 it was based on. also don't forget its 526 flywheel HP - more like 450HP to the wheels on a great day, probably 420HP in the stick Michigan heat / wet / thin air.. this summer was very bad. Anyway, it adds up to a weak quarter mile performance. I'm giving you credit that the GT350 would not have a traction issue because of the 305 hides in back, but reality is those are not optimized for drag launches. Now do you see why 12.6 is actually damn good? Over raters extraordinaire Road and Track and their super great air very sticky 1/4 mile rated the GT350R at 12.2 sec. do you think 100lbs of weight savings and wider tires would equate to 0.4 seconds of improvement over this GT350? Again, this shows why that time is just about perfect. With all due respect to the Focus ricer wana-be.. great car, but anyone and I mean ANYONE can make power with turbos.. they sound like shit, are laggy as ****, and lets face it the power band we dream about in the NA v8 is gone in favor of the lovely woosh of turbos. not horrid, but missing something grand.
