Horrible times...and on a tire too.. 12.3@117 ...on a tire... not even stock tires

S550 A10 cars were faster then this ...

Really disappointed

He stated in the video his s550 ran an 11.9 then started comparing to his slower times in the s550

Fyi... fastest s550 times on STOCK tire ... not even a tire like he just ran s650 on were 11.8s @119 for example

Holy shit this thing is slow lol

For reference my 4,500 lb SUV does a 1/4 mile in 12.1

The car is short shifting. Tell Esp with the trap speed. These things need a proper break in and they seem to unlock.

The 2.0 60 ft is contributing as well. Those MT's once worn in will get better. A 1.8 60ft would translate likely to 11.8 at 119/120.

Sadly, Ford did see fit that they gained 100lbs or more over the S550. This isn't helping.

something seems wrong here, it should be going faster than that. also, probably not the best idea to be drag racing it with only 790 miles

....yikes. why am i buying this thing again?

I can understand the disappointment from ya'll coming from a 6th gen or some other HP ride.

My last stang was 35 years ago, a 1988 GT with stock 225hp, the last 14 years been driving a POS dodge avenger with 175hp,

So this thing is going to be nothing but a beast to me...IF... it ever gets built

Seriously though, not sure how much the "break in" is going to add, these tests are being run on newborns, time will tell

I feel the same. I literally don't have any drag strips near me, only twisty roads. Not gonna race stop light to stop light. And bought a manual because it's more fun even if it's slower. I feel like if you are that worked up about tenths and 1/4s you wouldn't buy this car. You'd buy a $5k shell that you can throw power at to get the fastest straight line speed you can. Or just buy an EV

Would manual mode help with the short shifting?

I have no interest in drag racing my car so I honestly could not care less if its 11.9 or 12.3 in 1/4 mile

Remember... people were running 11.8s on NEW .. not broken in...s550s and on a STOCK tire ...

Coming from a 19 A10 PP1 before my current car.. it didn't sound like it was short shifting to me... I can see how it might though... so little time between shifts but that little time is all spent in the upper RPM band ...

I love manual transmissions but I love me some A10 too

It's not short shifting... I had an A10 19 PP1 car and the time between gear changes is so short I can understand why it sounds like it is though... but the car is kept in the top 2000rpm power band all the time ... it's really cool how the A10 works ...

Understood. I was asking based upon, I thought I heard him say it was short shifting. If it’s short shifting and you have the ability to override it why not give it a shot and see if the theory proves true?

Btw: the cam in the vid is kinda nice. Each time I see the mustang and hear that cam…. And then …. Oh well.

Yeah.. it sounded like he was trying to make excuses... he didn't sound super happy .. not excited..... no other video I have seen says anything about the A10 short shifting.. would show up in the dyno videos as well...

Nothing about I need to get back to the dealer and see what's wrong ...

These A10s in drag mode are very good...

I mean probably the worst part is he is running these times on a drag radial... makes no sense .. more weight but power bump should compensate

Only thing I can think of ... I had a 20 f250 powerstroke with the A10 and Ford used to limit the power in 1st 2nd and 3rd gear to be easier on the drive train.. you didn't get full power until 4th gear.. would hate to think they did the same here..
