2018 Manual Transmission 1/4 mile times?

[PoppinJ]

I've been searching everywhere to try and see if anyone has taken a MT 2018 GT to the track and put down some times. All I can find when I search is everyone fawning over the AT. Has anyone seen a quarter mile time posted for the 18 MT?

Looks like car and driver answered my question. 12.6 in the quarter mile. Im not sure how far they took it to get a perfect time. The autos Ive seen hitting 12 or sub 12's have been on absolutely perfect track days, reducing rear tire psi to 28ish ect. I would assume a skilled driver doing the same things could hit 12.4. Just spit-balling. Ford really have outdone themselves with the new 10 speed auto.

Wow. Didn't see that thread. If you look my thread was started 6 hours prior on the same day. Glad to have some numbers now.

i hit an 11.9 in 500ft DA. i bet i could do an 11.7 in mineshaft air. manual can probably hit 12.2 in perfect air. hell my old tune-only on 91 octane 2012 manual did 12.5s...both cars on regular street summer tires, nothing special

That's ok, we are use to you guys spouting off about how great the A10 is! If I was worried about having the fastest car out there I wouldn't of bought a mustang in the 1st place! Just curious, any issues with your A10 yet and what's your PB in your A10?

Nice run! Work on that 60' and you could see a 11.7X or even better. Did you ever consider running a slick?

Have only made 2 runs ever in my current Mustang (A10): 11.45 @ 121 and 11.47 @ 122. Both with shitty 1.75 60fts off the footbrake. Still has stock headers and cats. No issues with the A10.

I respect trying to go fast with a manual. I have owned 5 other Mustangs over the last 23 years, all manuals. But now after driving an A10, I wouldn't trade it for any of my past Mustangs and one of them was over 700 HP. Ford hit a home run when they put the A10 in a Mustang.

11.4 is moving, A10 is definitely a performer and makes for a killer combo with E85! I'd love to see someone on here do a full bolt on 18+ manual E85 running slicks.

As much as people like to crap on the new MT82D4, for good reason, i love how a lot of them doing it are now crying on FB 18+ S550 page about their A10 having issues. When my forks went the car was still driveable i just didnt have 3rd or 4th gear. seems like when a A10 has issues a flat bed is being called. My first "muscle" car had to have a manual. but even if i was to buy again i think it would still be a manual. I spent some time in a A10 and nothing wrong with it, its faster. Just not what i want right now. in the future who knows. Right now in life i couldnt care less if another car is faster or not lol If i was buying to care about how fast i could go, a A10 base car as i can get would be in the garage. not a fully optioned manual.

I ran 12.5 today in my 18 6 speed gt convertible.
Quickest I have gone in it.
