This f$&kin thread. Has some legs. I assumed it would have died after about 100 posts.

It’s hard to imagine how long this thread would be if Ford built only 300 GT500s like they did with the Y2K Cobra R...

I love all the paper racers and internet racers that say that....my car should run xx.xx..... 'SHOULD' , i personally have a car that 'should' run 12.5 and yet i can only get a 13.0x out of it, it pisses me off but it is what it is. I have lots of friends that race there cars by what the internet says, and i always laugh sometimes out loud sometimes in my head, and usually on average there usually at least .5 slower or more than what they think they should run.

1.70 or 1.79?

Man that ET will drop to 10.0's easy with traction and tire if the dct can take more rpm.

Question... what happens when you foot brake this thing?

1.727 60 foot.

I also am really wondering about foot braking .

I mean I assume it's not good because the clutch is engaged but the sw has to have been programmed to do something when you do this...

Who wants to be first to rev it up to 4k in neutral and turn the dial to D ;)

Hahaha, I'd assume D takes on a whole new meaning when you do that ...

My instructor did 1:12.8 with my car on my local track which I already had over 60 laps on and I only manage 1:14 so I get your frustration.

What would happen if you put the car in Drag mode. bypassed launch control, put the dial in D, held down the brake, pulled back on both paddle shifters (neutral), held the rpm to 4000 and released the paddles and the brake at the same time and just held on for the ride?

Technically you cant, i dont believe. Without LC engaged, clutches release as soon as brake is applied.
I spoke with tremec about a "mini LC" feature my previous car had.

Scenario:
Stoplight/staging light
Right ft on brake
Light turns green
Right ft off brake
Right foot smashes throttle pedal
Rpms jump wild up
Clutches engage car spins or launches

They said the gt500 will do this as well. I do not recall if TC/LC strategies are in play with this method.

However, this may be the poor mans LC technique to get higher rpms until tuning is available

Never thought about that, but im pretty positive your clutches would be smoked very very quickly doing that. Probably the worst option of the 3 id say, performance or longevity

Or may in fact be just as good/bad as the mini LC above, just with more steps

I don’t quite understand.
First you say, technically you can’t.
Then you say the Tremec engineers said you can???

If by foot braking you mean
Left foot on brake
Right foot on gas
Light turns green
Left foot off brake
Right foot stays WOT

Then no, u cant footbrake

I described 1 foot doing all the work, and applying/releasing each pedal individually.

Actually, brake pedal doesnt NEED to be applied. Stomp the throttle from a stop would be the same.

Does that help any?

Okay I get it now.
Just didn’t read your post properly.
Thanks.
