I think with CFTP, your probably right under 4100, before removing other things. the recaro's, the wheels, did u get tech package?

What battery are you planning on doing, and is it any good for daily driver duty?
It is the same smart charging system as the GT350, so there are a few options. Antigravity is one of them, but you have to select the correct battery. Me personally? I wouldn't use them for DD, but may have. All I'm trying to do is reduce weight.

@Demonic is the residential expert in lithium batteries for these cars.

I’m going to throw a number out. I’m going 10.6@135. Atco or Cecil this fall. She’s a big girl! And that’s alot to get moving off the line. Makes me feel like my 4070 race weight is dainty now.:giggle:I’m also going to bet the carbon model beats the 1Le. I can totally understand why Ford saved this bomb for last.:facepalm:

I just put both for a reference point. Because when Randy Pobst ran the ZL1 Auto and M6, the M6 was faster.
in the ZL1 1LE the auto is faster. Also Randy is a pro that can drive at 10/10ths and wring out the performance of the car.
Here we go magazine racing :facepalm:

The weight is actually good, all things considered, but I'm sure plenty of us internet experts could have made it lighter without the price skyrocketing. Instead of complaining just submit your CV to Ford and show us how it's done.

Running 10.8 in the quarter mile is slow?
I guess it’s slow compared to a 9 second car.

The car is not even in the public's hands yet, remember when dodge claimed 9.65 on the demon when in reality after release it ran low-mid 10s. Let's hope this is not a repeat by ford, and I hope the car defies physics.

Demon runs 9.9
GT500 will run sub 11 all stock.

The 500 will run 10.xx at drag strips. I’m confident there.

what it won’t see are those kind of numbers on a regular surface. Think when Motorweek tests their cars on PBS. Those kind of regular surfaces it’ll be slower, which is expected. It’s still a nutty car folks.

Lmfao bro bolt on gen 3 cars run 10.80s without much issue
That's honestly a terrible comparison. Bolt on gen 3 cars will go high tens on DRAG WHEELS AND TIRES, with weight reduction, E85, and either a trans brake, or converter. Not full weight on 20" street tires. A full bolt on, full weight, gen 3 car on 20" wheels with street tires is more like 11.7's. A better thing to look at would be MPH to see how fast a car potentially is. My gen 3 car on a 150 shot of nitrous has trapped 128mph and although we don't know for sure yet what the gt500 will trap, I'd be willing to bet it will be more than 130. A full weight bolt on gen 3 on e85 is around 123 mph. So... Realistically, it would take a bolt on gen 3 on a 200 shot to even be close to a stock gt500 in trap speed.

Seriously WTF Ford. The ZL1 1LE is 400 lbs lighter than the base 500. 400!!! 280 lighter than the estimate of the carbon track pack!
