Ok first of all I am not stock I have CAI and custome tune and pulleys... and 4.10 next week ! so 4.7 is possible. I think it's pretty acurate actually.. the G-tech works fine

Easy now; not meant as an accusation.My point was thatI don't know of any reliable or verifiable reports that have put a STOCK S197 under 5 seconds, with amateur or professional drivers. My point was that unless LoLo's car is modded somehow to shave off a few tenths, I expect that the GTECH is doing the shaving.
Which is fine because it can still tell you whether a launch technique is faster or slower on any given day...and may be able to tell you if a tune or mod had made an impact (though weather can be a variable too).
My stock 5-speed Mustang GT seems as fast as any GTthat I have driven or been in, but it is in no way a 4.7 second car.

How do you defend this accusation Lolo? Is he right?

You have just answered a question that I was wondering about. The GTECH meter is apparently good for showing a relative improvement from one launch (or one pass) technique to another....but as a true measure of acceleration it is not very accurate. 4.7 0-60 in a stock GT, auto or otherwise, is a bit optimistic.
Add a few mods, though....and that is pretty easy to attain.

With an automatic mustang GT ? (2006)
I just bought a G-tech device which shows me the 0 to 60 mph time and I was always getting something in the 5sec.. and I notice that this happened because of my launch.
Since I had my car tuned, I have much more power at the end of the gear but at the launch from a dead stop I dont start fast enough or if I floor it too much I spin too long.
I tried to hold the break and accelerate a bit and then release the break and by doing that I obtained a 4.7sec time !
Maybe all I need is better tires.... what do you think

RE: How do you get a good launch ?
I bought mine for 140 dollars on ebay. It's the SS one, I didn't need the RR. It's very precise check the demonstration on the website.
I don't have any 1/4times no sorry I've never been.. but I'd like to go I live in South Florida (Boca Raton) anyone knows a good place?
