Motortrend and C&D trapped 119 and 120 mph with the A10 GT. I haven't seen a C7 with a trap speed that high. They are in the 117 mph range, so I'm not surprised you took him by a bit, esp. if you got a slight jump (hard to go at exactly the same time in roll races).2017 Corvette from a roll... no problem... now that surprised me... 10A base GT faster than a 2017 Corvette top end
Yeah, the "fast" cars of the 60s and early 70s ran 13s in the 1/4 mile. "Sort of quick" ones ran low 14s: A good match for a modern V6 or Ecoboost Mustang.
The power creep! When I had my sn95 I remember shooting for 13s as my goal. Now I can just got and buy a 12 second car. It's crazy to think that a 10 second 1/4 mile may be considered slow someday.
Yes, I've wondered if cars have hit a point of diminishing returns on acceleration. I've often wondered if in 25 years a stock Mustang GT will be running mid 10s @ 138 mph from the factory.
By then I'll be driving around in a Pro Street something. Most likely a truck with a Chevy crate 502 or 540. Most likely a pro street build 60-70's Chevy truck. I'd rather do 11's in a gas car\truck with a great choppy sound than 9's in an electric.It will most likely be electric....so if it does it will be very quite....oh wait....in 25 years they may want the sound back...so electric with the sound of a V8 pumped in.
What were they saying his car was making? 5000 hp? He's prepared for it all!Dom could defo see into the future, he was very careful to add in ‘or less’ ...

lol.. yeah if you’ have power adders don’t race Tesla’s, mid\rear engine, and awd’s for that matter from a dig unless you do a burnout first. I have a good roll out technique ( also start in 2nd ) that I have used to whoop some AWD ass but it’s unpredictable at best with these Michigan roads.
Yeah it was like 63 degrees out so no real low gear hook was going to happen. The drag 1-2 and 2-3 shifts cause all the silliness. Being a non drag mode car my tuner has my S on shifter the drag mode. So no real way to toggle back out of manual (2nd gear) unless I do a up into D and back into S shuffle. I think the Tesla driver thought I was a 15-17 pp1 car which he would have murdered from a dig or a roll. These electrics are only going to get faster in the end. Lol.
What? A10's dead hook on the street now with those michelins?
So you run low 11's on the street from the dig then. Cool.
