http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/ti ... track.htmlWent to State Capital last night in Baton Rouge with some friends. Didn't have time to put tires on the Shelby, and was bringing the wife/kids so the L was a no go. The SHO is a non PP edition so it's stuck with 2.7x final drive gearing. Keep in mind it was 85-89 degree's and swamp like conditions, not mine shaft air like up north. Also no cooldowns. I was bringing it up to about 2200rpms then mashing the gas. Not sure if it would've been quicker just coming off at idle, but I'd think a load on the turbo's would be better.
1st pass off the highway. 7:36pm
60ft 2.177
1/8 9.163 @ 77.33
1/4 14.139 @ 99.57
2nd 8:17pm
60ft 2.183
1/8 9.176 @ 77.45
1/4 14.148 @ 99.59
3rd pass eliminations...8:46pm
60ft 2.148
1/8 9.128 @ 77.51
1/4 14.112 @ 97.49, was on the brakes as I was ahead, broke out on a 14.13 dial in.
4th pass time trial 8:58pm
60ft 2.118
1/8 9.111 @ 77.35
1/4 14.093 @ 99.53
So factory stock down to the paper plate....14.09 @ 99 in the heat. With great weather I believe it will go some 13.5's @ 102-103, based on past expieriences with the 04 cobra, Lightning, and Shelby.

Saw this on another board. thought it was interesting that a 4500 lb car with only 375 hp and a measly little 3.5 v6 runs just as fast as an V8Archie lt1 swap and ls1 swap. DRCPU ran a 13.9 as well with his 330 hp crate motor.
FieroPhrek working on that ls4 swap for 18 years and counting now. 18 years!!!!! LOL

Shitty 60's for an AWD car... must not have enough stall.

Re: New Taurus SHO turbo qtr mile
prob a combo of not enough stall, the guy not brake boosting off the line, and the fact that it weighs about 4500 lbs. it takes a lot to get that boat moving.

And 2.7 gears... Although I would expect a modern transmission to have a first well into the 4's to counteract that...
