A lot of crow will be eaten when the real numbers come out. This childish back and forth is pathetic.

There were 2 members of another forum that got an 11.25 and an 11.38 out of stock cars.

Granted I wouldn't call that the norm.

Stock, as in 100% stock including tires?

Yeah.

Atco and Orlando, respectively.

If I remember correctly, the guy who ran an 11.25 put a set of drag radials on the car sometime later and promptly destroyed the clutch.

13-14 GT500s ran high to mid 11s stock, what hurt them was rear end gearing and the T56 not liking to shit fast at all. Guys who went to 3.73s and a upgraded shifter where running low 11s no problem

I ran these cars extensively for Ford and for magazine testing and never got close to 11.25. I'm not saying it didn't happen but I'd like to see it with my own eyes. Either way, they are fun cars.

it took 3.73 gears to get to 11.20s

well if it is 670whp ish, that DCT is eating up a lot of power

12.5% in driveline loss is entirely reasonable. Do some people here not understand the notion of percentages?

tremec says it’s under 10 percent fam lol

That would be more than the slushbox 10r80. Please explain.... this should be entertaining.

People are quick to forget! With this car you can't just load up the converter a little bit more each time and go, It has an exotic DCT. I'd imagine this car definitely has a bit more of a learning curve on how to launch it without blowing the tires off than most do, because of the trans! Poor track conditions only worsen everything even more. This car is definitely a 10sec car!

Also... keep in mind this is a press launch with a variety of journalists, some with little-to-no drag racing experience, at Las Vegas (non-sea level). All it can say is stay tuned!

This is key. Running these cars in a hot, high altitude environment with a group where some are accomplished drivers and others not so much is gonna deliver a lot of variation. An 11.3 in that environment could very well be sub 11 in a better environment.

That’s what i said earlier, the DCT will make or break the car at the 1/4 mile, it all depends on how well ford tuned it and how good the launch control is

Tires are going to be even more of a requirement to get the full potential with the DCT than even a manual or automatic car in my opinion because of that jolt of power to the rear wheels when you launch it.
