Saw this on youtube. 2011 gt convertable automatic. Says it has cold air induction, and a tune and has traction control and hill assist on as well.

That looks awfully quick for a rag top and 3:15 gears.

Video can easily be manipulated. By my count, that 0 - 60 time is 3.5 seconds. No way on a 5.0 with a tune and CAI and 3.15 gears. My Roush wouldn't even do that.

He could have sped up the video by 10%, and most people would never be able to tell the difference.

If you count from when you first hear the motor start its more like 5 seconds.

I started the count from when the revs went up and the speedo jumped.

Its definitely BS. Speedo doesn't start moving until 3 seconds in and the car hits 100mph at 12 seconds.
