My friend just forked out $75k for his new Dodge. I told him I would race him from a dig if he gave me 2 1/2 cars.

My Stang is bone stock.

So how bad will I get beat?

797 vs 435.... if he can hookup there wont be any contest. the claimed 0-60 times for the redeye are 0.7 seconds faster than the GT. you might stay in front until around 60 because of the 2.5 car length but thats it. after that it will just be how many car lengths he can put between the two of you.

Depends on how he can drive. He'll probably have traction issues and blow past you at half track, so I'd say 5+ cars

In a drag I don't know but there was a Hellcat on my last track day for the season on a 3km track he was faster than the Mustang by 3.5 seconds.

Hes gonna fly by you like youre standing still, even if he spins. He can roll into the throttle and still be putting down more power than you at WOT.

Yeah, I’ll probably get my ass kicked. But I don’t care. I’ll give it my best shot.

Because I’m hardcore Ford. My Dad worked for Ford.

I’ll let you all know how it goes down.

Add the extra 200 pounds from the convertible and it's going to be a rout. If you're a Ford guy the best thing to do is just recognize that your car is just a different thing than that.

The Redeye is bad-ass! But the first thing I noticed about the car was the glued-on finder flares!

If you want to put wide rubber on the car, make the sheet metal wider!

Check it out..

Challenge him to a road course. You'll have a better shot. I had a Challenger SRT. Fast as hell in a straight line, but handled like crap in turns.

Hey, body cladding is all the rage. They're just beating the new Mach E to the punch. Everything is slowly morphing into a Pontiac Aztec.
