I have driven a 2018 Mustang. I also know that every tenth in the 1/4 mile is ruffly a car length. And the 18 mustang on average is 12.2@119 to the ZL1 11.5@125. So that's six lenths to begin with. Further more. This 1/2 mile races are still started from a standing start. Where it's much easier to launch a 460HP car vs. a 650-850HP car. Any advantage will be gained at the start of the race. Not the end where both cars are pulling. All those videos show me is a 5.0 that ran up against a guy in a more powerful car that couldn't launch his car. Which is common as f%&K. If you spent as much time as me at the drag strip you'd have seen this a million times. Horsepower wins roll races. And the ZL1 has 200 more of that where it counts. The 18 5.0 is not a silver bullet! It doesn't kill monsters. The pertinent part to what I was pointing out. Is I have extensive knowledge of going fast in a straight line compared to most on here. Now you goggle me where the 18 mustang has enough Aero compared to a ZL1. To make up for a 200HP short fall. And a 230 torque short fall. Your next reply should be interesting.
Sorry bro, but what do you know about the half mile...? Or aero..?
hint: There is no burnout box, or light tree at a 1/2 mile events...lol
People are just blasting their cars down a runway...
Nobody is giving out trophies for best start, etc. So what you know doesn't matter, because it isn't part of the fun. I know people who blast down the 1/2 mile with their air on.
Coincidentally, most 1/2 mile events are not artificial and meant for the blowhard who seeks tenth of a second for bragging rights.
Do people on the highway, turn off their air, when blasting down the highways..? Do they lighten their car, to blast down the highways..? Do they pull over and magically put slicks on their car, before they blast..?
Additionally, 1/2 mile events typically are not a drag race, they are terminal velocity tests..
Thanks for your "drag racing" input, but anybody can drag race and anybody can beat your car if they have more $$ than you, it is a penis measuring contest of who is willing to spend more. Please don't kid yourself.
