Before I tell my results I will give you some history.
I am new to RWD cars, but not new to racing at the track. I purchased my first RWD car back in July that being my 2013 GT500. Before that my last 4 cars were all AWD. The last one had over 700 AWHP at one point. So HP is in my history, but the shelby is proving to be a new challenge for me.
So this being my first RWD car, its also pretty powerful as we know.
I never had any problems tossing it in second gear on the street, but the track at higher RPMS showed me up.
Picked up 30 mph in the back half of the track, so i dont think my car is lacking power. But the 2.2 and 2.4 60' times plus missing second gear obviously hurt my chances.
I did all 3 runs with advance track off, no launch control. I am not upset with these times, and I think with some seat time launching it, I could pick up 2 or 4 mph and knock of 2 or 4 tenths off my time as well.
It was 82 degrees, and in INDY
Ran a 12.2 @ 121 as my best time of the night.
Video of two runs. Odd enough my first run which I bogged and missed second was still 121 mph.
