2018 GT - actual acceleration times?

Ford says the 0-60mph of the 2018 GT is 3.9 secs. Has anyone achieved this or better? Does anyone have the actual 0-60mph of the manual versus the 10 speed auto?

No actual 0-60 times yet,Ford has to many half shafts breaking to test the 0-60 times,the only test so far, took 25 min to complete and that was under very light throttle as to not break anything.

I find it interesting that it appears no-one has actually tried the acceleration times. Are we too pre-occupied with dyno readings rather than how they translate to on road performance?

wait for motortrend and the others for their tests

I thought Ford clearly qualified that the sub-4 second times are only with a PP equipped GT, auto, and when in Drag Strip mode.

And quite possibly with Magneride and in drag mode too.

Drag mode assumes you will not be turning the steering wheel and cornering, this allows the car to slam the gears in as you won't go sliding off on a corner with a full torque gear change.

Magneride keeps the car as flat as possible in a drag run.

Someone had a video of drag mode. The shifts are hard chirping into 3rd even.

A10 is 3.9 to 60 and 12s flat 1/4 mile according to Ford.
M6 is 4.4 to 60 and no comment from Ford on quarter mile but expect around 12.6s would be a good estimate.

0-100 based on the 0-60 time and acceleration videos of 60-100 should be around 8.8s stock and with a tune should be around 8s flat which is very impressive.

I can tell you from first hand experience the one I drove was chirping into 3rd and would sometimes kick the rear end out going into 2nd.
