I still give the edge to the 2010 GT. It traps around 105mph and has run lower 13s stock.

No doubt about it though....it is running great times.

my buddy nick (hawkmech) 03 cobra runs nitto DR's 315 -18's on the street, and ET streets at the track. the car is outright dangerous on the street even with the nitto 315 DR's. some cars do run those on the street.

I did.

ET streets and skinnies up front. Not to skinny though.

But the vast majority wouldn't.

If you think that evo performance car that went 11.65 is a drag car. So far from the truth it isn't even funny.

From a dig it will be all GT, but from a roll I wouldn't be surprised if it was very, very close.

It's a 'drag' for him...........

I just love that a base GT without the gear option and on base tires will give a 5th gen a run for it's money and possibly win.

So much for needing gearing to beat the SS.

It looks like even with 3.31s bone stock 12.7s are gonna be easy. With the good driver mod of course. Imagine if the car was broken in.

Coyote vs 5th gen SS may be a drivers race, but the SS driver better be really good.

Even though it may be a little slower than the 2011 GT I still like the SS. But when it comes time to plunk my money down I am leaning towards the GT. Both are very cool.

Mike trailered it to Thompson... it had 21 miles on it when he ran it Friday...

No no, I didn't mean that it is a full out race car only! I meant the current setup (tires) as I understand it isn't for the street, so those times aren't comparable to street setup cars.
