Question for guys who actually have the the Roush Kit

When you do turn off traction control, make sure you are ready to react should things get squirrely.

Fastest run with TC on was an 11.5 on 20" DR's... With it off, 10.9. I am not very good at controlling the wheel spin though.. best 60' is a 1.7.

Yeah, I'll find a wide empty road or a big parking lot.

Matthewstorm, what brand of tires are on your car? By the way, how about a picture or two your new beast. Maybe you posted pics on another thread and I missed them?

I have the stock Pirelli P Zero.

Ditch those stock Pirellis pronto!

 

[JasinEdward]

wait until you throw a set of drag radials on and turn the advancetrac off...

Great pics and here I was thinking you are a man Even sounded like one on the phone. Just Kidding. Love the color.

I'll be you a dollar that you will get rid of those Pirelli tires pretty quick.

First time I went to the drag strip with my stock Pirelli all season tires, it wheel hopped so damn bad on the 1-2 shift in drag mode that I was sure I must have broken something. Finally, aborting the hard shifts of drag mode, I ran 12.2 using normal drive. The next time I went to the strip, I had real tires and ran 11.86 bone stock.

Yes, it will not pull through 6500 rpm in 3rd gear. I thought I had seen some YouTube dynos where the manuals would be restricted to a lower RPM redline also in certain gears.

On the dyno the auto hits the speed limiter (155 mph) in seventh gear around 6500 rpm

Dude, these Pirelli tires have been great so far.

It looks like you have the staggered performance pack wheels. You can run your stock wheels and get Nitto 555R2’s in 275/40/19 for the rear so you can really put down that power. And if you don’t want to run the Pirelli up front and match up the tread pattern you can run the Nitto 555G2 up front in 255/40/19.

 

[m3incorp]

I had my 555G2 installed on the front today. The manuals tend to hit the torque range hard and early. My Pirellis would cry for help, even on a hard shift to 4th.

 

[Matthewstorm]

I'm gonna have to turn off advancetrac and try and spin the wheels.
