I am surprised that it was not quicker than that. Does anyone else agree with me?

Geez with that kind of power I would expect some 10's slips.

It's all about getting power to ground.

 

[DVan8504]

^Well, yeah, I know that, but I don't think I'd let that time go public haha. I guess most people don't know what a 1/4 mile is anyway though.

but at only 117 is poor too.

+1 have you ever heard the saying "What do an 800 hp car and a 400 hp car have in common? They both run 12's."

Thats exactly what happened. Without some slicks the car is pretty much a dyno queen.

Somethings definitly not right. Here is a 2 links to Suttonhp's mustang that was the 1st 05 to run in the 9's. Had 665rwhp.

9s with 665rwhp? very nice. I just don't understand why they wouldn't have made sure the 770rwhp hooked up.

Edmunds also tested a 690 HP 2003 Cobra and it ran I believe 12.7 in the quarter. Traction is a good thing!

They bullshitted that test severly. Magazine tests are always garbage.
That car will hit the track this summer I'm sure. Then we'll see the "real"
times. It's a bad dude. I haven't driven it since it got the F1. It went 11.80 @ 117mph
with a little shot of nitrous prior to the blower being installed. My guess it high 9's
since it's still a full weight car.

shifting problem

If you guys actually read the article in the magazine you would know that they were not allowed to use DR's. That was all on some shitty street tire, plus the car sprung an oil leak half way through the testing.

 

[DVan8504]

^What article are you talking about? I went back and read it again just to make sure I hadn't missed something, and Edmunds didn't mention anything about tires nor an oil leak.

 

[turbosaleen]

the 117 11 second time slips were with nitrous before the car was built like this.

 

[Andrew@]

damn our 05 saleen is making 510 to the wheels..... and hit an 11.01

 

[DVan8504]

Is there some article that corresponds to this that I haven't read?

OK, well none of that was in the article I was referring to lol. Not my fault edmunds didn't tell the whole story.
