Cool, very insightful thank you.

I used the DA calculator and got -1100; it was around THIRTY-THREE degrees with a 600ft elevation track. 120.88mph on what was a hero run is not impressive at all, and I doubt anyone is going to run any better than that.

^^^ how did you come up with those numbers?

Online DA calculator that lists every drag track in the US with temperatures for every hour, not out of my *** like the nutswinggers tend to do.

8:54am that date-
33.1deg, 54% humidity, 30.17 pressure with a track elevation of 603ft comes out to a DA of -1249'

Wouldnt the corrected SL run look like 11.553 @ 119.691 MPH?

I wouldn't count on their correction to work great, and that's being corrected to a DA of 0 which is also really good air. Either way, I don't see anything higher than a 122 trap with a manual ever happening, which is a ways behind the 2011/2012 GT500.

I believe it was down south (Georgia, South Carolina?) some time in late April/May perhaps.
Probably not the best of air conditions/density altitude, but not the worst either?





On the manual car you might have a point, but on the automatic/6L90 car the drag radials could possibly even hurt it's 1/4 mile time in stock trim with stock tuning (as I'd already mentioned above). A mere tenth is totally believable in my opinion.
I gained less than half a tenth going from stock 19" street tires (300 treadwear Goodyear F1 GSs that weren't even as sticky as the stock ZL1 tires by the way) to drag radials in my otherwise stock Corvette in the same conditions. It wasn't until I had a few bolt ons/tuning/torque management removal that I was truly able to utilize the advantages of the drag radials.
Mustangs (especially manual ones) are probably a little different (better?) when it comes to tuning/torque management limitations.

I'm thinking maybe just a little quicker than that even. If GM's 11.9x numbers are correct (and I believe they are telling the truth) and based on the 'average' air/track conditions that I think they ran in, then in (well driven) private hands at a Houston Raceway Park or an MIR on a great fall/winter day or night we could see as low as 11.6s and 123mph bone stock.

Of course on that same day/night a well driven stock 2013 GT500 would probably put down 11.2s/11.1s at over 130mph.





You may be correct, I think 122 or 123 is the upper limit for a bone stock ZL1 on an all out perfect ('hero') pass.

89ThirdGenCamaro3310

Fastest trap speed so far for a stock ZL1 119mph, stock for stock isnt this slightly faster than the 2012 GT500?

Thank you sir.
Why go through the effort to find out the conditions of the track if your not going to accept its corrected run times and mph?

1ltcap

here we go with "corrected" again. corrected is bullshit. the time on your slip is the time you ran.

1ltcap

perchance were they at the same place that the shelby was tested?

88blackgt

Wow conditions don't get much better. You're right I think; it's not likely we'll see much quicker than 122, maybe a 123

firebird99

iTrader: (2)

Agreed.

88blackgt

??? You're the one bringing up corrected times then you agree they don't mean anything?

1ltcap

it was 89thirdgen that brought up the corrected time ****.

No. Several stock pre 13 GT500s have gone 120+

i didn't realize that was in the quote area.
