RT has no effect on ET. But as a drag racer you should know that.not with a 3.3s RT…
of course I KNOW that. I was refuting WDPro’s comment re:StangMode “knowing” how to get a car down the track.RT has no effect on ET. But as a drag racer you should know that.
Actually what he was probably doing was trying to hit a launch RPM target. I sit on the line at times for an extra second making sure the car is right where I want it to be when I make the hit. Sleeping at the tree could be, but I doubt it.of course I KNOW that. I was refuting WDPro’s comment re:StangMode “knowing” how to get a car down the track.
IMHO 3.3 RT doesn’t scream “proficiency” to me. Seems he was asleep at the wheel, thus not a great driver.
Roger. Good point. I didn’t really consider that.Actually what he was probably doing was trying to hit a launch RPM target. I sit on the line at times for an extra second making sure the car is right where I want it to be when I make the hit. Sleeping at the tree could be, but I doubt it.
I am going to guess he has made more passes down the 1/4 than just a few people on this forum.Like him or loathe him, I’m reasonably confident he knows how to get a car down the 1/4 quite well …

Yes, I knew I would get criticised for my comment but taking emotion and personality out of it, he’s defo got a lot of seat time at the stripI am going to guess he has made more passes down the 1/4 than just a few people on this forum.
Love him or hate him but I don’t doubt his abilities.
With the session ending, we dropped tire pressure to 26 psi and hopped in the Kona Blue GT. We fired the 5.0L, selected Drag Mode, turned off TC and did a short and sweet burnout. Cylinder head temp was showing 160 on the gauge after the burnout (about 20 degrees lower than the previous runs); we didn't want to build heat so we staged, powerbraked to 2,000 rpm, and cut it loose immediately.
The Mustang dead hooked and shot from the gate with fury and purpose. The Mustang produced a 1.881 sixty-foot and it was flat-out ripping, snapping off gears like a sport bike. There's action all the way down the track with the ten-speed, and we were enjoying the ride. We steered as little as possible, so as to cause minimal drag and we pushed the throttle to the mat. Finally, it crossed the line and the board flashed the results—11.835 at a staggering 119.51 mph. Yes, mission complete.
Until he gets his 60' times at least a couple of ticks below 2 seconds, especially with drag radials, the car will never reach its full potential.Stangmode’s time slip.
I agree. Just hearing his voice makes my skin crawl. Definitely rather watch Bill from CJ or Landon from LMR...I refuse to give that guy any views/clicks.
As many times as he’s blown up his GT500 (and someone else’s GT350), I think he doesn’t know as much as he leads folks to believe
