iceman Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 I saw in one of the other forums some talk about impressive times for the Shelby in the 1/4 mi. I was wondering what has lead to all of the numbers and how far off they are. Could it be any or all of: Drive, conditions, tuning, pre-prod. car, what else? Here is what I have collected so far: Mag - 0-60 - 1/4 mile time & trap spd. Motor Trend - 4.5 - 12.7 sec @ 116 mph Inside the Oval - 4.3-4.7 - 12.25 - 12.9 @ 113-117mph Hot Rod - 5.1 burning the wheels - 12.9 @ 111 spun hard at launch & no power shifting (not really tuned) Car & Driver - 4.5 - 12.9 @ 112 mph Not a ton of difference and multiple factor at work no doubt but rumors of 12.2's and 4.25 are floating around. The Steeda Q 525 is running 11.7's or something with about the same HP and the 500 HP BMW M6 supposedly ran better times according C&D...and they reported it weighs 12 pounds more. Could these be bias reporters, bad tuning, or what else? Any other numbers reported would be interesting to see too. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
