In the 1.5s now. Near full weight and no converter. Bolt ons

Who needs torque right.....its over rated lol
1.6? Holy crap

I hit 1.68-9 a few times when I was near stock on a drag pack. Stock tune. Most of the time I was 1.70-1.72 though. As were several other people.

On a shorter tire like I have now would have been in the 1.6s near stock a lot more consistently. Im in the 1.5s consistently now with some bolt ons and e85 stock converter

I had no idea the conversation had shifted to modified vehicles. There are plenty of fast Mustang's out there that are modified, i really don't need to go there.

Are you playing dumb on purpose?

Using a tire on a stock vehicle eliminates the traction excuse you were blaming for the mustangs poor 60 ft. We are talking about low end torque, gearing etc etc. You claimed the mustang had no low end issue etc

Its obvious that the artificial torque is not getting the job done in comparison to real torque. Nothing new.

When I look up curb weight for 2016 Camaro SS and 2018 Mustang GT, the difference shows up as 20lb.

at what point are they gonna stop letting the trolls keep posting nonsense? first he says theres a traction problem so it wont 60ft well,so you remove it by talking about the cars on drag radials,and he moves into well its modified so.....theres no conversation of relevance to be made here.

I don't think we will know for sure until Jan/Feb at one of the big auto shows.

Be sure you are looking at the weight of a PP1 with MagRide. I don't know any 2SS cars in the 38XXlb range. LMR's PP1 with MagRide weighted 3860lbs. Compare that with a 1SS which is well under 3700lbs. Even a few 2SS cars have been on the scale under 3700lbs.

I'm making a 2019 Camaro Model off of ROBLOX. Does anyone approve that I should make this?

I don't know If I'll do the entire body yet, I may just do the front and If you guys still like it, I'll make a thread and finish the entire body. (Minus the interior)

I'm sure that render's in a very early state and the final product will be drastically improved but for now it brings to mind the 2018 Mustang refresh. That car looks like it like it was designed by an individual whose primary talent was being a personal friend of some corporate bigwig at Ford.

There were technical reasons that left the L99 engine at 400BHP, the AFM setup they were running limited camshaft design to more conservative setups. It also limited the red line of the engine, these things were improved for the generation V SBC as the LT1 engine in the Corvette is rated at 460/465 and pulls to 6,500/6,600rpms from the factory.
