Good Gravy...

OK, a bit off topic but some folks on this thread looking to sell for more power, there is talk about Tesla's, etc. I don't want to hijack any threads.

You have to be kidding me....

2015 TT Mustang GT Premium with Automatic Transmission. 8 and some change 1/4 mile @ 155 mph on slicks. Talk about a sleeper with no drag radials (and a a bit of moving casket IMHO)...

Keep in mind, it's probably got near in drivetrain mods to what the car costs new.

Also, scary as it is to say, 8's with a street car are what 10's were only a few years ago. Nuts.

Well it's all a matter of perspective, then. If I saw the car (and heard it) I would think it ran real nice. Maybe low 11's or maybe high tens in the high 120"s for trap speeds. Definitely not in "sleeper" category as it is a modded Coyote 5.0 = faaast...

but it this is a mid 8 second car @ 155 that was shown in the video in street form with stock rims.

You are probably more right than me in the "sleeper" definition but what do you call it other than Reallly #%?€*?g fast?

No cage? Thought any car running 9.99 or faster required one.

This place is a joke.
If it's truly a street car why is it in a trailer?

First thing I thought. There's also no way I'd want to be running an 8 second car down the track without one.

That's a fast Pony for sure, but I can't imagine a daily driver "street car". Also, isn't really a 9 second car? Not trying to take anything away from how crazy fast it is.

Not bad for a car that's 800lbs lighter.

Why would it be a 9 second car? His times are well into the 8s.

8.94 & 8.95 is what I see and I know that in the 8's but really much closer to 9. However, it's irrelevant as it is extremely fast either way.
