8 second 2020 GT500

[LostM]

This car really is amazing. Ford Fkn killed it with this thing.
100% street legal, Stock suspension, stock brakes, no methanol injection, no stereo removed, etc etc.

Pure power and technology

Awesome Steve! Congrats!
Has anyone tried a stiff wall bias ply on the DCT cars yet?
Just curious.
Keep it up man.

Congrats on the 8 second pass! It is crazy to think that car is running 8's with bolt-on's and a fuel system.

....but it'll only do 180mph from the factory

Beyond impressive... it sure feels like we are at the high water mark.

Awesome! Great job Jason. MIR dragway and the month of March is a great combination!

@LostM Thank you for your honesty by not trying to pass this off as a stock car. Lots of mods there but truly amazing results!

Not that I know of, but no need yet. its not about traction, its about the clutches and slip etc. we can make enough power to kill even the ssp's, but the tcm doesnt have the range calibrated to let it slip enough when needed and grab when requested. hell, this is on a 18" 325x30 tire. like fkn rubber bands

Thanks man, but I actually think it’s worth a try or at least discussing with someone like Ken.
If you think of a conventional stick car launching, it’s either the tire or the clutch that slips. Radials won’t slip so it puts more pressure, slip and heat in the DCT.
If unavailable to program/adjust slip in the DCT clutches, or if the slip in the clutches causes safety defaults, I’d think using the tire as the slip could make sense. There are now 18” bias ply slicks available.
