Why 'sad', considering the Shelby finished the Qtr in 12.35 seconds @115.75 mph, and pulled 1.01g on the skidpad?
Compare that, for example, to the Z51 Corvette, which the same testers ran 12.5@115.0, and .97g.....
It's all relative.......
"Our test car was a fully broken-in (1275 miles) early-production Z51 coupe, equipped with the NPP dual-mode performance exhaust, which reduces back-pressure by a whopping 80 percent at high engine speeds, adding six peak horsepower and four pound-feet, bringing the totals to 436 and 428, respectively....a blistering 4.1-second dash to 60 mph en route to a 12.5-second, 115.0-mph quarter mile."
