performance predictions now that ford has announced 500 HP?


Recommended Posts

A car with 425 rwhp that weighs about 4,100 lbs (with the driver on board) will run through the 1/4 mile traps at about 115 mph. With a good driver and great traction (slicks) that would be good for 11.90's in the 1/4 mile - significantly better than the mid to high 12's from the 2003-4 Cobras. 0-60 is likely around 4 seconds flat on slicks. Of course, without traction (on factory tires) you're likely looking at 0-60 in the mid 4's and 1/4 mile in the mid 12's.

Just digging through some old threads and finding out where we were right and wrong about things...Five Oh was dead on with this post.
