Wow. Very impressive. Knowing how fast your mp4 has gone, the GT still has stunning performance with minimal mods. I assume that was you rowing the GT? Not many people can shift quick enough to run by the dct.

Having had my a$$ handed to me several times yesterday, this video makes me glad that a pulley/tune GT can take a 12c. Which pulley/tune are you running? Dyno #'s? What speed were you rolling at?

100 octane tune and at least 18 psi?

Heavily dependent on who is behind the wheel of the GT.

Doesn't really matter who is driving a car with DCT and paddles from a roll, really matters who is shifting a GT.

thanks! rolled from 2nd, tires on the FGT are getting old and won't hold first these days... details on the Ford:

http://www.dragtimes.com/Ford-GT-Timeslip-25163.html

Heffner Pulley, Tune, Exhaust, 651 rwhp, 93 octane....

Was expecting the FGT lose to the 12C after seeing some other FGT vs 12C videos, happy the Ford held on and them some! was toward the end of 4th gear, so the cars were moving!

At the minimum you need to get a pulley and tune from Torrie , better yet a Whipple.

Bonehead needs a Whipple. His car runs like it was pulling a boat anchor. :lol
