11.5 on stock tires and 10.9 on a sticky tire.

BTW Stone, Roush and Saleens have been available with automatic transmission's since back in the '90's.

I'm sure the launch control will be pretty sophisticated, not just a glorified two-step and TC. I agree, it will make a lot of track newbies look like veterans by bringing the average 60' down. Still going to take plenty of driver mod to bang through those gears however.

Honestly, if I had the '13 GT500, I would never use the launch control, seems like cheating. Too many goddamn interference electronics now a days.

I'm looking forward to seeing some vids of this thing in action, and how well it will take to mods. i'm sure 9s wont be that hard to hit with some fairly minor mods.

I also agree with stone about the average owners of these getting 12s. Ive seen GT500s run slower than stock GTs so...

I tend to agree but at the same time I have seen S197 Gt's running in the high 15's low 16's lol

I agree, I mean I'm no expert quite yet, but there was a 07-09 GT500 at the track same day I was there that couldn't even break 13's. I think his car may have been running rich or something because every time he hit 3rd, or 4th, black smoke was bellowing out of the exhaust, almost like a turbo diesel.

Lot of FI cars do that for some reason.
