Today ford finally made it official, the new GT500 packs 760 hp and 625 tq. 5 more than the ZR1 corvette, and 53 more than a hellcat.

 

Don't forget about the hellcat red eye that makes 797 hp. heavy car , but it is the one i would have for a daily,

wonder how much dealers will sell over sticker?

 

100% depends on what suspension it has. The Hellcat is all smoke and no go. There's plenty of vids on YT showing even a chipped F150 EB blowing the doors off of a Hellcat. Pretty sad when you build a car but forget if you can't put it to the ground it's worthless. Lots of vids showing the big hemis smoking tires. Seems that's what they're best at. The Mustang at 760HP will need lots of help to put that much power into forward motion. Otherwise, how much HP do you need to just smoke tires? The F100 I have with a 390 modded up will burn tires just as good and it doesn't make but just over 500HP. Yep, just a tire burner.

 

 

 

No ET or trap speed for the ecoboost? So, I suppose he was running in 4x4 low range.

 

Most guys at the track are running a drag radial. night and day difference. I have seen gt350 struggle to get into the 12's because of traction. if your car goes quicker that 12.0 and you trap higher than 115, you will need a drag radial at the track.

fastest eco I have seen is a red/maroon one that goes 12.2 at I think 106 to 108. yes he owns a lot of cars till 1/8 mile. awd mode. New base model corvette with stock tires will go 12.2 to 12.4 all day long.
