    Thanks! Ya, I was pulling away from him towards the end and ended up winning by 1.5 car lengths ahead.

    Nice !

    Did the guy in Porsche use launch control ? Seemed like a rather slow start to me.

    He used launch control. He had it set at 3000RPMs. I stalled to 1700RPMs when I launched. If I stalled to 3K would have been faster yet. He was quick he did a 10.6 and I did a 10.5. Towards the end I was pulling away.

    OK, on the vid it doesn't look that fast.

    A friend of mine owns Turbo S and the car literally jumps out of its tracks with LC enabled.

    10.5 is very impressive.

    Very impressive for a 5 liter 'stang. And the Porsche was certainly not slow. From the video it appears that you had a near perfect launch. Good job buddy.

    A friend let me drive his Mustang yesterday and I was impressed with the power and torque. Very nice! Enjoy it!

    I'm a bit behind you at a 12.5 @ 109 mph on street tires. Still, not bad for an all motor V6 and 6-speed manual.
