Just curious if you were running stock tire sizes and what psi you were running. Could that impact the computer's calculated speed versus actual speed?
Funny, that is my car that Phil tested (he messed up and said it was a '21 when it was a '20). I brought it up to NY for my daughter to visit some colleges . If you read some comments on youtube about the fit and finish, the CF panel is aftermarket and I had trouble fitting the vents so it looks...
In essence I already made the decision for the GT500 based on my needs (which seem similar). I wanted 4 seats for the kids and something that can change character easily (comfortable cruiser or sporty track vehicle). The GT350R was always a car I wanted (how could you not want one?!). But I have...
Thank you for all the details! I have been following your posts elsewhere but appreciate the summary! I hate to ask for more, but I was trying to see what your 60-130mph times were at each stage of mods.
I agree with that. However, in this instance they were saying the temperature was cold which may have severely impacted the Cup2's getting off the line. Per the Edmunds blog write up, the GT500 did 0-60 in 4.3s on run #1 and 4.8s (yikes!) on run #2. Whereas CT5-V BW did 4.2s on both runs...
Some people crack me up with these theoretical scenarios that will never happen in real life. Let me give an example. I also have a Trackhawk which has a drag limited top speed of 180 mph (stock). You should check out this car crazy Russian guy (DSC off?) on youtube (recommend doing the English...
I get the reluctance to support a screwed up system and pay an ADM. But ultimately it is a simple, free market economy where supply and demand rule. I admit I paid slightly above MSRP. My rationale is every other desirable performance car in this COVID/chip shortage market is undergoing premium...
I think that it is the totality of all the factors requiring significantly more power in the real world than the theoretical 485whp figure... the average power over the course of the run, including shifting, coupled with aerodynamic drag, and rolling resistance. Plus I think we tend speak in...
The number may be smaller since the math is assuming constant power. That 485 whp is assumed from start to finish. That could be more accurate for a Tesla with 1 gear, but internal combustion engines with multiple gears will have horsepower output constantly changing as it goes through the rev...
