[Updated]: 11.0@128 so far for GT500 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway

[Evan J. Smith]

Bingo!

This is key. Running these cars in a hot, high altitude environment with a group where some are accomplished drivers and others not so much is gonna deliver a lot of variation. An 11.3 in that environment could very well be sub 11 in a better environment.

This is out of hand.

I'm actually on my way to Vegas now and I'll have my crack at it tomorrow.

This is amazing lmfao

 

[Gogoggansgo]

Magic lol

 

[Gogoggansgo]

Fastest stock times thanks to svt performance 13-14 gt500s

 

[gimmie11s]

What is that even supposed to mean?

lol... exactly my point.

 

[V00D00]

Magic lol

What is that from?

Best ive seen so far is 11.0/128

that’s a 13-14 since everyone is up and arms about comparing the two

so expect it to run 6mph faster at Atco / Cecil / MIR.. where I race, and nearly all WR are attained? Good to know

 

[Gogoggansgo]

What hurt the 13-14s was gearing and the TR6060 was a dog to shift fast in 2nd is terrible

tremec says it’s under 10 percent fam lol

citation? Was that claimed from actual measurement or predicted from mathematical models? Was it for the transmission itself from input to output shaft? What happens to the total figure when adding in drive shaft, diff, and half shafts?

That would be more than the slushbox 10r80. Please explain.... this should be entertaining.

again, you've got an actual, published report where someone reputable dyno'd the engine, turned around and installed it into the car and ran it on a chassis dyno and came up with less than 13% loss? And did it a few times to make sure the results were repeatable? Or Tremec/Ford measured (and then published) input and output energy measurements under laboratory conditions? That'll be a first...

You can NEVER take factory claimed performance as some kind of immutable 'truth' upon which to naively base further calculations. Error bars are a fact of life and even a 1% deviation at multiple stages stack up.

Massive headwind but theyre racing down hill? Or is that just a bad pic.

Lots of tracks look downhill in pictures.
They are not in real life.

I believe he is going off of what GM claimed when MT contacted them about their flawed C8 test

Mark my words, the 2020 GT500 is indeed a sub-11 second car with ease and in stock trim... Come Tuesday you will see how it's done. If you're curious how, check out my story on HotRod.com and my YouTube, REVan Evan.

Also... keep in mind this is a press launch with a variety of journalists, some with little-to-no drag racing experience, at Las Vegas (non-sea level). All it can say is stay tuned!

I'm actually on my way to Vegas now and I'll have my crack at it tomorrow.

If anyone can run a sub 11 sec 130+ time at this thing it's you @Evan J. Smith. Put the kaibosh on all this gibberish and for the love of God, please bring home the bacon.
