[QUOTE="Lethalchem, post: 13315636, member: 8054"] I appreciate all the replies guys. It's helpful to hear some of you guys are experiencing similar things. Devious, you're right, I know I keep comparing it to my old 03 Cobra but I feel like the cars should react in similar ways since both use positive displacement blowers, etc. I've lived in Arkansas for 40 years so I'm familiar with humidity/heat, I just keep getting thrown off by the way a car with almost 200rwhp less reacted compared to the Shelby. I could never floor it in first or 2nd gear without spinning no matter what temp it was outside. It just keeps making me question. The Shelby has a bigger blower and a larger displacement motor, it boggles me why it feels like it has less low end torque. I'll know better once I get it on a dyno and check the power, it just feels weird. Maybe I'm just not accustomed to all the electronic involvement (fly by wire and traction controls that actually work, lol). Here's a time slip of a 1000' pass I made awhile back and I felt my mph was low, only adding to my suspiciousness. I'm in the right lane: [ATTACH=full]490216[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
