0-60 times, possible GT500 buy

[MHW100]

Hi all. Been running e30 with all the main bolt on mods, turbos, DP, IC, lpfp, hpfp etc. I don't have a dragy so it's hard to get a good 0-60 time but I think it's around 4.2 to 4.4 sec. Does this sound about right?

On a side note there is a beautiful 2021 stage 3 Roush Mustang at a local Ford dealer here. Im losing my mind over it trying to find a way to justify such an expensive car let alone how to pay for it! It's a 3.6 sec car but for half a second or more time it just doesn't seem worth it compared to the SHO for stoplight work. The sound and lines of it sure does though. Just amazing.

Mine will go 3.7 on dragy and i have run my dragy many times at the track and it's .05 slower than my time slip. This is on the street, the mustang advertised times are under perfect conditions with a pro driver. Look at my signature this is full weight and about what you have.

 

[MHW100]

That's very reassuring thank you. Amazing these cars can compete closely in a straight line with a Shelby for roughly half the price.

Ken and I have very close times on the monthly dragy board (rider76). The difference is these cars are awd and do far better in snow than a mustang. Mine is my daily work ride, it runs 6 hours a day.

 

[MHW100]

Certainly the SHO is great in rain and snow although I note the gt500 is supposedly quite drivable. Not sure I'd want to drive a 100k car in the winter either.

Good look

We have a new GT500 available if you want to go that route. PM me if interested.

Struggling to get under 4.4. I'm going to get some help from Matt.

Thank you I'm in Canada so need to find a Ford Shelby dealer.

3.1 seconds is my best 0-60.

3.1 seconds is my best 0-60.

That's seriously impressive. Is that with nitrous?

Thanks! I’ve hit that twice and at the track only. No nitrous, nitrous is 3rd gear and beyond, not before

One other thing to note, from the reading I've done most 0-60 "testing," is done with a 1ft roll out.

Which you will notice is lower than the actual 0-60, when you look at dragy (it gives you both), something to keep in mind when looking at them.

 

[MHW100]

Pretty impressive times. Matt's helping me get mine down now.

I have gone 3.75 on the street.

If you don't have a dragy, you can get your 0-60 from the datalog. Open the file in excel, then take the time stamp from the last 0 mph field and subtract it from the first field that is over 60 mph. Every time I've compared it to dragy it's been within a hundredth of a second.

That's quite a trick. Thank you. I have a dragy coming...not sure why I wouldn't have picked one up before now.

76FoMoCo, Am I reading your sig right? Meth only gave you 6hp and 3 lb/ft? Was this dyno run done in the middle of the winter?​

I think it was in March. I did 4 pulls 2 without meth and they where the first two and the last two are with meth in about an hour so the car was a bit more heat soaked at the last two. I am only spraying 600 mL and its just for cooling. I have about 5 trips to the dyno over the last few years as I added bolt on's and different tuners. what I found the 91, 93 tunes gain more from the meth than the E30 tunes. my kit is the alky controls kit and it is progressive. I start spraying at about 1 psi. The cool thing is with the GH IC and meth I'm usually around ambient to -15 below ambient temp at the end of the 1/4.

 

[MHW100]

I'm at 4.6 sec on dragy with every upgrade on e30. Totally ****** off and disappointed. Matt thinks the converter is slipping and doesn't lock until 2 or 3 gears. Guess another expensive repair is coming.
