The Ford team is gonna need a lot of suspension work/tune and tune to hit 11.5 with stock tires and 650hp. Yeah I know DRs will do it, but stock wheels/tires??http://mustangsdaily.com/blog/2012/0...14-mile-times/
Also I can't tell if they got real data or just making up stories. Good to see the youtube videos coming out on the ZL1.

I only knew of the one car that did it as well (doesn't matter of course, if one can do it then all 2011+ GT500s are at least capable of it 
), but perhaps there are a few more.
This has a posting date of December 30th on You Tube so can we assume that the run likely occurred sometime in December (cold weather/decent air?) of that same year as well?:

lolnot bad. it sounded like he "flashed" the converter on launch. i wonder how much faster he'd have gotten, had he used a 2 step, and launched hard.
that said.......it also seems like a lot of work to an already expensive(somewhat) car to get to those et's.

I thought it was a different car that went 11.16 and 11.11, but it was the same car on different days.

Not only fast, nicer than nearly any track I've been to and I've been to tracks in PA, OH, TX, MO, CA, IL and GA. I've also been to PBIR(of course) when it was still named correctly... MOROSO MOTORSPORTS PARK! Plus, Bradenton, Gainesville(rarely prepped well), Orlando and even an 1/8th miler called Immokalee(way south, central FL). That "track" is really an old runway and it's not very good, or wasn't when I was there, anyway.
It's all good, but I'd say clarification was needed(and added) to say it also has a cam swap... Not really a bolt on. It's haulin' ***, but I can't help but feel this is a bit much.

There are a few that have gone 11.1@124, bone stock with tires. That's a ZL1 with a lot more mods running about the same time doesn't impress me at all, it is WAY behind what the current GT500s are doing stock for stock and mod for mod. The only time it has an advantage is when comparing both with stock tires, but that's only because of the small tires Ford has on the GT500.

I think we would be remiss to say that 10.32@132 and 11.1@124 are "about the same time". Lots of people need a cam and stall (for example) to pick up 7/10's much less 10 mph. Going from a 13.7 to a 12.92 is worlds easier then from 11.1 to 10.32. The faster you go the harder it becomes to pick up time.

In regards to the 2013 GT500 the head of SVT said recently, "The engine was just recently certified at 662 hp and 630 ft lbs of torque, 16 mpg city, 24 hwy, no gas guzzler tax, 0-60 in first gear!"

^^^^Thats not to much of a surprise since they are running a bigger blower at almost twice the boost stocking a zl1. Once they put a pulley on that bad boy it should be 19-20lbs and that's alot compared to the zl1 thats barely in the teens with a smaller pulley but I could be wrong because I believe I read that the stock pulley is very small to start with so it may require a blower upgrade sooner then the older models did.

I don't see why the ZL1 would not run mid to high 10's with those same mods. It would do better with a set of bias ply stickes on a stick car.

The new taller (numerically lower) rear axle gearing helped with both of those of course.
