300bhp/ton said:didn't understand what you had written, re-read it today and still not sure. The spec of the Shelby hasn't been confirmed yet (not to the public anyhow) so it may or may not have 255 width tyres. As for lighting up 235's with a v6, well that would depend on the brand and type of tyre too.
TCS maybe a good safety feature for road use, but its not the ideal thing to have at the track.
oohsoobad2 said:I dont get how the 05 GT's went down from a 245 tire to a 235. The Shelby would look badass with 275 in front and 315 out back. Its safe to say that Fords 450hp rating is underrated. Id guess its easily makind 500 at the flywheel. If it weighs 3600 lbs or less, low,low 12's shouldnt be a problem. If thats the case, drag radial will get you 11's, a pulley, exhaust, cold air and a reflash will be easy 10's !!! Damn, I need to start saving some $$$. lol
I think the mark up will be ridiculous the first year this car is out. My friend paid 5K over sticker for his 03 Cobra because he had to have it. Im never buying a brand new car, ever. Between a new car payment and full coverage on a 450 hp Mustang... thats probably an easy $1000 a month.

but it is actually possible that you have no idea what you are talking aboutAerosi665 said:Echo it's actually not possible for you to spin the left rear tire, the v6 mustang does not come with (at least never has in the past) a traction-lock. This means that all the power from the engine is delivered straight through the 7.5" rear end to only the right (passenger) rear tire.
<-- Used to own a v6.

echo7 said:Well, 450hp+ with the same engine as a Ford GT, i'm thinking low 4's maybe high 3's 0-60 depending on traction and high 11 to low 12 sec 1/4's. Is this a good guess?
texwayne said:well, if we assume 6700 RPM red line, 3.55 rear-end, .68 6th gear and 26" tire diameter that gives a theoretical top speed of 215 MPH. a 4.10 rear-end would bring the top end down to 185 MPH.
hard to guess about 0-60 and 1/4's. too many variables to consider. just for grins, i'd bet with the right tires, track, weather and driver she'd do 0-60 in low 4's and cut the quarter in high 11's. won't know until they go production next year.
300bhp/ton said:certainly is, there have been a few running low/mid 11's totally stock though, I thats right down to the tyres!!
I've seen times for the GT at around mid 11's. The new Shelby has less power and a not so idea layout for off the line traction (although I prefer front engine rwd) so I guess a realistic ET would be low 12's - high 11's. Depends on how much power it really has when they release it.
I would certainly say its possibly (although if its a car given to magazines by the manufauctures all figures need to be taken with a pinch of salt, as those cars are sometimes 'special'.)kystang1889 said:MM&FF did a test and they ran 10.90 w/ a bone stock GT (even stcok tires)

fzust said:I would like to know the issue information on this. There is NO FREAKING WAY. Unless it was dropped out of an airplane. First off, 300HP with a 3450lb car is not going to do 10s unless it has a redickulous short-time which it won't have on stock tires.
My opinion on the GT450 is if they use the 255/45/R19s that are rumored, this heavy pig will do 0-60 in mid-high 4s and 1/4s in high 12s-low 13s. Better rear rubber will help this dramatically.
