I was at the NMRA event at US131 Motorsports Park this past weekend. Ford had 2 of their '05 GTs on display. At any rate, a total of 3 hits were made. It appears as if they will run about 14.7sec at 98mph out of the box. Given this, it appears that they will be no faster than any other bone stock GT that we have had for the past 15 years.
Preliminary 1/4mi times for stock '05 GT
- Thread starter autoXr1
- Start date
Well, track conditions were perfect. 75-80*, 5mph breeze, low humidity, excellent track surface, and so on. Several NMRA world records broken that weekend.
As for the driver. Dr. Jamie Meyer of the NMRA. Granted, he's no Donny Walsh. 60' times were around 2.2sec.
What I could tell from the stands was that he did not "powershift". That may account for a few 10ths. BTW, these were not automatic transmissions. Broke traction in 1st and 2nd gears.
No mods or special tuning, no slicks. Pirrelli P Zeros.
Take the info for what it's worth.

You aren't the only one brother.
I've seen Vettes run 15's, so I'm not too worried about the new Stangs potential 
Either way, I think the 05 will be one kick ass car.
Or not, because there was a video of a pre-production 05 GT running a 14.2 without a launch, and it was also loaded with instrumentsautoXr1 said:Whatever, guys. I just calls em as I sees em. I am sure there will be a cover story on it in 5.0 Magazine, MM&FF, and Race Pages. So, until then, you'll just have to take my word for it.
then go buy one, hopefully then you will stop trolling here and start trolling on their forumsmball said:No way, it will do better than that. It should be a high 13 car at around 105 MPH. But now that I have seen the pricing, forget it. I would much rather pay a little more and get a GTO or an Evo and blow right past it
