Thanks for getting it out there! Hope the backlash isn't too bad...

Ahhhh...didn't realize the 11-14 GT's ran that...thought it was slower...

Best time I've seen was 11.88 @ 115mph with a ProCal tune and slicks on an auto, everything else stock down to the paper filter.

Wheelie Bars!

I'm in enough hot water now, you will have to wait until the info is publish on trap speeds, it will be soon. I can assure everyone that the EcoBoost had the irs in while testing.

Thanks for getting the info to us..

Sorry if it got you a bit boiled :(

Great times! thanks for sharing. Will be curious to see the '15 performance with like mods and what its weight is.

Right, but the big deal is that this is with the IRS. Everyone was saying how the IRS would kill it at the strip. This at least confirms it's on par.

See my previous post.

The 12.0 with tune/DR is nice but was also easily done with the '11-14 GTs so I'm not crazy impressed with that. However, given the many improvements to the car in other areas to still be capable of the '11-14 drag racing performance is promising.

 

[wproctor411]

Yes that's me.


Everything else was stock on the eb, including the intercooler. What is also impressive was the 5.0 that was tested with only drag radials and a tune went 12.0's

So when will you get us a real test and tear down?

 

[erne75]

Those are impressive numbers with only the mods listed. I just hope is not in the same vein as "The redesigned 2015 Ford Mustang will be slightly smaller and several hundred pounds lighter" rumors that proved false...

 

[wproctor411]

There is no way they lifted the front wheels like that on the stock turbo.

Depends on the traction. I've seen less HP/TQ launch on the bumper.

 

[JGillis]

Can't wait to see the video but serious question. Can a 12.5 car really get front wheel lift like that off the launch? that takes some serious power...

 

[souprmage]

So, do you think the photo is faked or the time given is purposefully understated?

I'd say the 12.5 is accurate and the picture is legit. So, the only answer to your question is yes. It just needs bucket loads of torque, which the EB has.

 

[JGillis]

I dont think either are faked since both sources seem legit just thought i would ask the question to see if others are as surprised as I am...anyway it is very impressive and should change a lot of minds.

Damnn i can't wait! I Hope ford racing comes out with something similar to Cobb (accessport) that doesn't void warranty

I have to say, that picture along with the list of mods done to get that picture has definitely changed my mind on how successful the EB will be in the marketplace, and not just by the 'eco' crowd. It's going to be a winner all around.
