Never been impressed with the output of the 350. Sure it handles, but et's like a slug. If it was making 600 it should trap 123-125 all day. Need 4:30's minimum.

Probably one of several reasons why the numbers continue the plunge from 2015.:beer:

A 7.3 big block Mach 1 bumped to 530 HP or so would sell rings around a "track car". There are still many of us "dinosaurs" roaming the earth who eat small mammals in driving gloves and scarfs.

Tell that to the chinese kids working in the lithium strip mines and all the dead birds under the windmills.

They need to look under the hood for a blower if that number is right.

That is interesting, that sounds unbelievable, that's supercharged horsepower levels at the crank, did they look under the hood for a blower?

That's what a flat plane crank is supposed to sound like.

12.5 at 117 is seriously under performing, and the track car excuse is still an excuse. It should be in the high 11"s about 121-123 with no drop off in track manners with that P to W......especially if the block and head changes for the better are true.....5 years is long enough and the price...

Great analogy, you must work for NASA?

I thought these 2020 GT 350's were hotter with the new block and more head flow, 12.5 at 117 is pathetic.

How do you survive falls at those speeds, not to mention the destroyed bikes I'm sure, not doubting, just genuinely curious.

Just drop in the 3.5 ecoboost in near Raptor tune, just find a way to make it sound good. Bump the 5.2 to 490 hp and turn up the 2.3 to RS spec. All bases covered.

I'd like to do a thought experiment. Take two identically powered cars, say GT500's, equip one with the DCT and the other with an MT, identically geared, rowed by Evan Smith. Run them down the quarter mile. How much faster is the DCT. My guess would be 2 tenths of a second at most. Now do it...

That's how you start to look at the magnitude of a problem. If you thought I was trying to solve a problem this massive on a Mustang forum than who is the deranged one? As a post mentioned above, this does not take into account the step up, step down, and transmission losses which are variable...

Ok, so some quick math. The US uses 385,000,000 gallons of gasoline per day in 2015. 1 gallon of gasoline is the energy equivalent of 33.7 kilo watt hrs. So, 33.7 x 385,000,000 is 13,008,200,000 kilo watt hrs per day in just gasoline. A coal fired plant is about 10% more efficient than a ICE...
