Lol. It does not take .4 seconds to hit the brake.

Not the auto 10 speed. Also, 100mph is well before 1/4 mile.

You can’t use two different methods. You don’t know how Ford did there test. It could of been on a well prepped track to get that time. So until MT does a test the same as they did the others, you can’t really compare.

It could be. Depends on driver, especially if one is using the same foot going from throttle to brake. With left-foot braking or good right foot positioning and reaction time, that 0.4 could be something like 0.2.

It’s typically about 0.4/0.5 seconds to react to a typical drag tree.

If you are doing a 0-100-0 test without your left foot over brake on launch you're doing it wrong. Secondly if a deliberate preplanned action takes you .4 seconds to put that action into effect your central nervous system is shot.

Ford lost all credibility with me when they said the 15 GT was lighter than the 14. I take all their "numbers" with a truckload of salt.

The ZLE is already 1 tenth behind at 60 mph because of the extra aero vs the ZL1. What's with the der emoticon? Did you want me to say 0.16 seconds slower to 100 mph? I was rounding a few hundredths of a second. Sheesh.

Go back and look at what I said. I said "if true". And I said if the GT500 was tested 0-100-0 continuously (i.e., not adding the two separate times like Motor Trend). I qualified it and it's just speculation since we don't know how Ford tested it.

Either way, IF Ford did it the Motor Trend way and just added the two together, 10.6 seconds is nearly as fast as the ZR1 at 10.4. That's impressive. If the Ford test is a continuous 0-100-0 then it is even that much more impressive given the response time to brake (even if it is a 0.2 second time to apply the brakes).

Show me the 1le 1/4 mile time in the 10 speed auto.

Your comparing a auto zl1 times to the 6 speed 1le. The 1le was 2 tenths faster to 60 then the manual zl1, so why wouldn’t the 10 speed be any different. Also, the 1le had a faster 1/4 mile then the 6 speed zl1! So there goes your aero theory.

Motor Trend stipulates .2-.5 to transition from foot to the floor on the gas to the brakes... but I’m sure you’re the authority on reaction times.

You Mustang fanboys are really grasping at straws now. Lol. My bad. I'm sure it takes almost half a second for your brain to tell your left foot to push the brake 3 inches.

No you’re not sure , on the contrary you don’t have the slightest clue how long it takes. Now that’s a fact.
