What can she do?

Enough with the look at my latest cosmetic upgrade pictures! 24 hours after the first Boss was delivered we had a 1/4 number. The next couole of day a half dozen Dyno reports and some feedback from track experience. I'm here as a fan of the engineering behind this car. So enough look at my pretty upgrade threads and more track videos and reports please. At this rate my upcoming ZL1 ride this weekend will be the first delivered track report. We can't have that can we?

I think the Ford crowd already knows it runs 12 flat, doesn't have 650hp and will out run any mustang on a road course.

12s flat? Talk about a conservative statement. This car w/ its TCM and its superior counter magnetic suspension will run mid to high 11s. This car was build to live in TRACKS! Oh my perfect God, Im just a mortal, but, GM is on TOP Archangel Gabriel style. There's a reason why Ford hasn't showed their mighty 13 GT500 SVT PERF. numbers. They're scared AND w/ a reason.

Yeah, yeah so much talk. This car turns mere mortals into the Stig. Let's see some proof.

btw..when entering the data into a 1/4 mile calculator, It calculates 11.59 as the time in the quarter, so This would usually indicate a best possible scenario.

Sims. Calculations. Pah! Let's see some rubber on your rear quarter panels and video proof of results. GoPro cameras, iPhones and Larry's Laptimers for all.

Yes, its a sim, but I don't have my car yet so its as close as one can get without just takin a random guess at it.
Seems reasonable, but we will see in good time I guess. Maybe people are still doing break in ?

what this tells me is mustang guys don't care about break in periods. and so far all the owners that have received theirs on this forum do. at least that's my take on this.


oh and what's good about a 1/4 number? what's good about 330'? lol I crack myself up.
