Heaven forbid I break a forum rule so sacrosanct , how about these slips from ATCO then that are even faster because it’s a quick track .

No production 500 has run a 10.61 "nobody accepts preproduction car numbers", and a 20hz vbox has been shown to exactly replicate ET's I have done it at the strip as have many others. And stock 991.2's have run 10.4x at the strip as well although 10.5's and 6's are much more common . Let's agree...

Yes my 991.2 Turno S did , this was done on the front straight at Roebling raceway . Your beliefs don’t change the facts.

“ don’t let truth get in the way of a good story “. Mark Twain That’s funny because my Turbo S ran a 10.48 stock in the real world and many R8’s have run Equal and faster than 10.66 in the real world on a drag strip and certainly would “destroy “ a 500 on a non prepped surface. 500 is an...

Randy doesn’t do the acceleration testing lol . Watch the track video , the base 500 is absolutely at the limit . Ford had a support team that races mustangs at the track to ensure proper set up too ( which has become standard for most companies ) .. both cars did extremely well and have...

I I have a CFTP coming in February lol ... Its incredible to have a pony car that can do more than go in a straight line( turns out it does that pretty damn well too for under 100k . I’m a road course guy and appreciate fast cars regardless of brand . We don’t need to make shit up on the 500...

All of them can beat it in both lol

The 500 is awesome but it’s not a world killer. McLaren 720S 911 GT3RS 911 GT2RS 911 Turbo S Corvette Zr-1 Lamborghini huracan Huracan performance R8 V10 plus performance Just to quickly name a few .

I don’t know about spinning it up to over 8000rpm ..... seems pretty risky for minimal gain , vs just changing the pulley .

Your preference aside the as tested price of that C8 was higher than the GT500 . If you get anything other than the base interior , add z51 and mag shocks for z51 they are very equivalent . Next year the base price is going up considerably on the vette too. Both are a great value , brand...

This video is from the base car , CFTP car is ~5 seconds faster than the base per Randy. Should see it’s video soon .

The 500 and corvette are on Michelin pilot 4S .

except the Base GT500 that cost the same as the Z51 or less beats it too ....

So there is a video pop up that shows the lap videos with data for the base 500 handling pack vs the the track alignment Z51 C8. GT500 handling pack 1:59.68 C8 Z51 track alignment 2:00.96 Both are moving out ! Did not expect the base to be that fast ! That means the CFTP is running a damn 1:54.x...

I’ve had a voodoo pop on track so I’d definitely agree with that one.

You can , but it will overheat and limp mode in one lap on track....

Actually I found it was fastest leaving it in 4th everywhere except for 5th gear on the straight. Enough Tq at 5k in 4th to rotate it . If someone slowed me down I’d use third through turn 5 -6

Awesome exactly where it should be with around 10% Dt loss which most modern DCT 's have.

Was apexing 9 at near 100 mph and I upgraded to AP brakes and DS uno pads to do just that lol . Starting at 100 and late braking is most of the difference.

Best in my R with headers full exhaust was 152 gps with braking at the 3 marker . It really hit a wall after 130 . The R8 hitting 162 mph braking early is crazy considering my lower apex speed in it due to being a pansy ( can’t mess up the shiny one lol) . Lap times are close but about a half...
