:shrug: still saying incorrect things. No need for your smartass comments. Im not here to be a jerk. if i see someone spreading fallacies ill say something. Nothing worse then letting someone spread false things. Forums have enough of that crap. It doesnt need more, it needs less.

I see your feelings are still hurt.

No matter how much experience you think you have, you are "correcting" people with YOUR opinions...unless you've done some independent testing on these cars that you'd like to share??

More inexperienced assumptions i see.

Its power is publicly known, its weight and gears. Its very easy with professional experience to know what it will do.

Stop being so annoyed someone with actual knowledge of drag racing is correcting you. Remember, "who cares."? But i believe you and i are done here. Youd rather be a know it all instead of listen to a veteran.

I was under the impression the GT350 is intended as a road course car. Could you not get better drag results with a auto GT after calculating the money? Flat plane tech have any application advantage long term?

Maybe all the 1/4 mile talk is due to the recent rag info.

You said the car can run low to mid 11s in stock form.. I wouldn't say knowledge.

I edited my post because I'm tired of fighting with my Mustang brother. Everyone is different, enjoy your car - whichever one you get.

Thoroughly agreed!!!

Why MT even came to the article with times generated from a Vbox is astounding, yet it just goes to show how anxious a car mag is to get its panties in a wad an be the first to report something no one else has.

Smh... why we're even arguing this time is laughable seeing how it came from a Vbox and not a true dragstrip run. I don't endorse running this car at the strip but hell, if you're gonna do something and then report it, then do the crap right the first time!:rant:
I know it's an old thread to drag this up. A vBox isn't all that bad either when you use it right.

Road & Track did a side-by-side comparison at a drag strip to the software I wrote at vboxtools.com (mods don't worry, it's free and used by a dozen or more car forums and performance magazines, Ford, and Ferrari). Road & Track found the results at the strip were indistinguishable from the results generated by my software. R&T put all of this into a video a while back to show the vBox really can be just as accurate as the drag strip.

When I developed the software, I tested 45 back-to-back runs at the drag strip to my software. There were no outliers.

For those of you who want braking tests, the software does that too. For those of you who want to calculate your car's horsepower on the street, the software does that too (vboxdyno.com).
