PP1 rear tires are 275/40/R19, not 35 profile. I assume that's what you meant.He has the stock 275/35/20 cooper zeon rs3 from Roush. I currently have the oem performance pk Michelin 275/35/19. I also have a set of sve r350 19x10 wheels w 285/35/19 cooper zeon Rs3 and a set of sve drift 19x9.5 w 275/40/19 Sumitomo HTR A/S P02 (tirerack listed as all season ultra high performance) I can bolt on. I'm not sure which wheels to run. Stock r probably most traction but also heaviest. I'm leaning towards the 285/35/19 coopers on the 19x10 sve wheels as a middle ground between weight and traction. As far as drag mode, I have ordered a sync3 upgrade kit from Hellhorse. I should have it installed and drag mode activated by spring when we run them. I want to stay away from a tune for this race to keep it some what apples to apples. He could very easily drop pulley size, tune and blow me away once we open the aftermarket door wide.
A 2018+ GT A10 with performance pack and drag mode is the 3rd fastest accelerating Mustang ever released by Ford (with the GT350R only a hair behind it), behind only the 2020 GT500 and the 2013/2014 662 hp GT500. The 550 hp 2011 GT500 is slower than the A10 GT PP1 w/ drag mode. Since you don't have drag mode, I think it'll be close.
For reference, Car and Driver ran the 2011 GT500 0-60 in 4.1 sec and in the 1/4 mile at 12.4 @ 117 mph. Car and Driver ran the 2018 GT PP1 0-60 in 3.8 sec and the 1/4 mile in 12.1 @ 120 mph. The trap speed is indicative of which car would likely win in a roll race given equal starts.
