bit of a channel surf...but one of the threads in here, people were saying coyotes couldn't get into the single digits at full weight? how about heavier than normal at 3900#? ![Mr. Cool](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_cool.gif)

Or were they actually including supercharged, forged bottom end type of set ups like that one?
Not that it should really matter as it's still impressive regardless.
I mean I could say that there is no way that a Miata could run 10s...but then someone could go and stuff an LSx (or even a Coyote 5.0) in there and suddenly I'm proven wrong of course.
People really need to clarify specifically what they mean/don't mean when they post stuff like that.

True. But were those 'naysayers' talking about the 'Coyote' as in a naturally aspirated (because that is how it comes from the factory) Mustang GT?

Fastest stock ZR1 with DR ran 10.260 @ 135mph & the fastest ZO6 with DR tires ran 10.74 129 mph? Guess time will tell right? Some of you guys didn't think the ZL1 would get into the 11's with stock tires & it did.....

Yep, they add a bunch of power, optimize the gearing, add launch control, and go .2s faster...
Come on man, be realistic. Why are you comparing it to the ZR1 and Z06 still, and who didn't think the ZL1 wouldn't run 11s?

no one said "mass produced" they said "production"
Saleen used ford engines (i think), the ssc uses an LSx motor (as does the venom), Koneigsegg used a ford motor for its first car but then went to an in house design based on the ford engine.
production car also does not necessarily mean "available in the US" either.. otherwise everything from the lumina SS to the hilux wouldnt be considered production vehicles according to you.
(yay American ignorance)
i suppose you dont consider the Veyron to be the fastest PRODUCTION car in the world either, do you? theres got to be what.. a 100 or so built a year?
hey guys, maybe be consistent on your definition of production car

With slicks & skinnies yea might crack into the high 10s... But running high 10s with DR when majority of ZR1 run that?

But the potential for high 10s out of a stock 2013 GT500 with just drag radials is definitely there.
With bias plies and skinnies it will be even more so.
By next March, I wouldn't be too shocked to hear about a bone stock one (other than slicks and skinnies) running a 10.7 at over 128+mph.
Even without the skinnies and it could still be a 10.8/10.9 at 127mph.
I'm referencing a car with some miles on it in great air/DA with a great driver of course.
It was. Now it's a 10.71@130mph actually.

assnnnndddd let's not forget about all the ford guys that said it would be able to run with said vettes due to the power to weight ratio so it's not just the Chevy guys preaching that so have a seat and relax.
