The biggest problem with the GT500 speed limiter is that Ford never gave a legit reason why. They simply said "well where are you gonna go faster than 180?". Apparently these road course warriors and track day monsters are not capable of even getting up to 180. So by their reckoning they could have clipped it at 160. But to not give any logical explanation to me means that something is wrong with this car once it gets to certain speeds. As mentioned, the ZL1 easily goes over 190. Same with the Hellcat. Neither of these manufacturers reasoned that nobody is going that fast. For that matter, neither of these cars showed up on "well cooked" tires either. But Ford did. There is nothing but excuse after excuse for such abysmal performance considering the price. No other cars are plagued with any of the issues it has. And all the statements made about it are all turning out to be false. "Supercar killer"...yet it got destroyed by 2 Supercars. "Venom kills Demons"...yet it could only manage a few tenths faster than the Redeye and then got beaten in a roll race. They raved about how fast it was on straights and it lost to the ZL1/ZLE on a track. The trolls came here talking about how road races would have the GT500 beating the ZL1...and that was all talk because it has a 1 second delay so it gets eaten up. This car has done nothing but fail spectacularly from the start and yet I gotta argue with AJ about a damn "road course"?? LOL!! Eff outta here. The GT500 is a flop considering the hype, time it took to build, the benchmarking, the price, and how it actually performs. And it hasn't even gone up against cars like the Z06, ZR1, GTR...because it is busy against the WRX LOL!! Rant over.
And I hope I come across one on my "road course" one day. If it is after the first part of my build is done then it won't even stand a chance. |

that I don't know. Maybe it won't be as bad or maybe it will be just enough to be noticeable. I remember going from my 04 to 07 the switch from a throttle cable to drive by wire drove me insane. That slight delay, I couldn't cut a light to save my life in the 07. I could chop the tree down in my 04. Quote:
Maybe someone here can check the math someone on 6g said because this topic came up over there again and this is above my pay grade lol. Their theory on the speed cap was they said based on the gearing, and trans ratios blah blah that the GT500 should have a theoretical top speed of 190 but at 190 it would be bouncing off the rev limiter in 5th gear because I believe 6th and 7th are OD gears. I think I have that right I am going off memory and not gonna dig through over there to find it word for word. I am not smart enough to figure that out, anyone care to chime in lol. |

Has to have to do with the clutch slip and switching from neutral and well as drivetrain saving provisions I assume. Almost a half second of sitting there doing nothing probably has nothing to do with traction management.
