I knew these were going to be fast, but not this fast.

I searched, but did not see this posted yet. The 111mph shows lots of potential.

There is no way it is trapping 111 mph! That's faster than the 03/04s

I figured something in the 105 range

As much as I would love to believe the 111:bs:

>4200# @ 355hp = no way

Maybe it was a timing error:shrug:

Not hating, the physics just don't compute.

That 111mpg trap is more conducive of a mid-high 12s run, meaning this car was spinning the shit out of its tires at the launch to only hit 13.9.

Can't seen that happening with an awd car, so I don't see how that is the correct trap of such a vehicle.

That's what my car was trapping stock!

It's got to be from it's broad powerband. Once you're up and moving it's gone!

If anything I'd say it's been tinkered with by Ford.

So the ecoboost and the coyote will be offered in the Mustang at the same time?
