lexustech48....... The 'TRACK' your refering to is a Football stadium parking lot with no prep and is basiclly a parking lot. Without all wheel drive you will never run your GT500 to its full potenial. Next time give BARONA race track a try its a real track with full prep and its generally a fast track. (good air and altitude)

Im heading out to Barona next Saturday. I would completely agree with the loose definition of "track" being given to Qualcomm Stadium; Barona looks like a nice facility. I had no idea how much traction help higher HP and torque cars needed to launch. I mean obviously a developed skill and experience is needed, but just the raw fact of how hard dig traction is to come by... blew my mind. I had a 2014 Mustang GT and I was able to launch from a stop light TC off will little wheel spin. Not even close to the same experience with the Shelby.
