From what I've seen, no one else has run quicker 100% bone stock on P Zero's though. Most that have run 11's bone stock have been PP1 cars on MPS4's.

Here's a video of another 11.92 run on the same day.

Not sure what a Compressor is but its just a little V6 with about 229 HP or something like that. I didn't mean it was fast only that it made you think it was going really fast at lower speed. Acceleration is meh in it though. No this GT is staying stock for a good while I don't want to trash my warranty to early like I did with my last car.

Compressor or "Kompressor" in German means it's Supercharged.

I had a 300 hp (crank) Mazdaspeed3 that weighed 3,140 lbs, so it had a pretty decent pull and that down low turbo torque. When I first test drove my '18 GT PP1 A10 with the sales woman and one of my kids in the back seat, I was blown away at how fast it felt. 6 months later it still feels fast but I have gotten somewhat used to the power. I also rarely have to floor it, because half throttle is usually more enough to over take someone on the highway, or wherever, or from a stop light if I want a little bit of spirited acceleration. When I do floor it, I would say it pulls really hard, esp above 4,000 rpm.

It's torque that makes a car feel fast so it must be the delivery of the torque being quite smooth compared with other cars like the old V8 E90 M3 which feel faster.

As I heard many years ago but I always remembered "Torque puts the smile on you face, HP keeps it there" I just wish I didn't need to get over 4000 rpm to get the smile. Since i will never see the track with a GT I am not concerned how fast it is on a time slip or anything. I want it to feel and be "quick" all the time without having to rev it out. I'm hopeful a tune and bolt ons will give me that smile in the lower RPM's when I move into a GT.

I'm not being a smart ass, test drive a Camaro SS. Has more torque down low than an LS7 although the LS7 peaks higher.

My 13 F150 Coyote had to be spun over 3500 to feel power, my 18 Mustang has instant power down low. I have to roll into the power off a start or my 325's go up in smoke, even without a tune. Soon, I will have some traction aids and a Flex tune with E85. My cay does not feel short on torque at all. I ran 1.87 60' times on P Zero all seasons.
