Not likely.

Seems way too fast in ET and MPH.

But what if it's true.:gossip::clap2:

Completely fake.

11.5 on the right tires but trapping 130mph? No way Jose. . . at least not without some laughing gas hidden in the door panel - good old Sneaky Pete NOX system. I would never do such a thing.

its not lol. But it would be awesome!

Why can't Ford give us some numbers.My build date keeps getting pushed back and that's good. Because I'm not buying anything until I see some actual numbers. Motorweek two reviews and no numbers WTf .....just an example. Tired of these games Ford is playing . Yeah this is getting old already.

Agreed, Ford's incompetence regarding this is baffling.

I mean, I have torqued probably hundreds of lugnuts to ~100 ft./lbs and never once have I had the vehicle accelerate away from me even a single time. In fact, they stop moving and I can apply 100 ft./lbs of torque to them with no movement at all. Strange that the torque I am apply doesn't cause the vehicle to take off. It's almost as if torque isn't a measurement of power at all and does not cause a vehicle to move.

Just to make this all clear, Derpington is wrong here. Derp, the only reason your vehicle doesn't move when you torque a lug nut on is because you have an equal and opposite force acting on the car through the parking pawl. Also, I guarantee for the first few degrees of rotation of that nut your tire does spin until the pawl engages.. go put your car in neutral on a flat surface and apply that 100 ft-lbs. It will move. The only force needed to move the car on a flat surface is that which overcomes the rolling resistance of the car. It doesn't matter the weight of the car, you are only overcoming the rolling resistance. Same as if you are pushing on the bumper. It moves because of a force generated by your body.

Also, HP is a calculated value. A value created to interpret work being done by an engine based on torque and RPM, which are actual measurable values. You cant measure HP. You measure other things to calculate HP.

Your car accelerates because it is doing work, that means you are applying a force over a distance. That force comes solely from the torque generated at the wheel. At peak torque you are making 429 ftlbs, in first gear the torque at the wheel is 5205 ftlbs. That means the force being applied at the ground by the tire is 4767 lbf. That force being is what causes acceleration. Not HP. HP is the integral of Work, meaning it is just a calculation of how much work is being done in a given time.

We were hoping 11.8/122... 11.4/128 seems feasible. 130..? That's pushing it.

11.4 with DR's probably......street tires? Thats gonna be tough.

High elevens at possibly 120 is what to expect. 128 trap? Forget about it.

I know these are stats from a 2009 ZR1 but look at the times. Here is a car with an 11.4/131 time/velocity... On stock tires. Why couldn't a stock GT350R (non-Electronics) possibly be capable of this?

hermmm..over 100 less HP...300lbs more curb weight...pretty straight forward why its not possible in stock form
