Well, this video also verifies what I suspect will be the case when the first owners take possession of their cars and hit the local dragstrips. You will have some people hitting high-11's in stock trim and others in the 13's. Take a guess which times the Mustang fans will be quoting when they post about the ZL1? I'm going to guess the average driver is going to be able to manage mid-12's in this car in stock form at the dragstrip.

rookie drivers lol
I can honestly say ill never use the launch control. Its alright for new drag racers but anyone with 1/4mile experience will use there feet for gas and clutch modulation for best at that moment launch, which will never be replicated by computers.

The car sounds amazing tho.

Nice video. Pretty cool to see it's from Firebird Raceway in Phoenix/Chandler, AZ. Right up I-10 for me...
