That Stangmode guy ran an S650 A10 in the 1/4 mile - either car is slow or he cant drive

@Silver Bullet do you by chance remember what the temperature and DA were on your 12.0 run?

I’ve been running in 90-94 degree weather at roughly 2800 DA.

Not exactly sure of DA, but it was evening, cool, and we had a pretty good tailwind out of the North, so probably fairly low humidity. It was nowhere close to 2800.

Edit, plugging some rough numbers into my da calculator, I’m guessing 1100-1200.

My GF just watched him for first time. Said his look, voice, and driving are annoying. Dude has no style.

From the video's I've seen on the dyno numbers of the S650...I'm not impressed. The 18-22's put down more HP/TQ stock...and respond well to simple bolt-on mods. But, I'm happy there is another generation of the Mustang...at least Ford isn't giving up on the sports car, unlike the other 2 of the big 3...

Terry @beefcake got a 12.30 on a draggy after removing the carbon trap restrictions.

Great time. When you go back 13 years ago.
For $70,000.00, and it being 2023, it should be running 11.60’s on street tires FFS……

The draggy is at the very end of the video. 2.05, 60

Then he wasn’t spinning that bad at all. If he was, it would be more like 2.25-2.45 seconds.

Didn’t read all the replies. That said, C&D weighed a manual dark horse with full tank of gas and it was 3,975 lbs. The manual GT PP was 3,940 lbs. So the S650 has gained 75-100 lbs, give or take. And only got a little more power to offset the weight. I wouldn’t expect it to be any faster except at 100+ due to the power increase and same aero. A 116-117 mph trap is about what I’d expect for 500 hp and 4,100 lbs race weight (assuming he had less than 1/2 tank of fuel). It’s a heavier version of an already heavy car. It wasn’t going to be any quicker than the S550.

I think Ford might have put more effort into making it a bit faster if it wasn’t for essentially no competition anymore.
