. I'll believe low 12s 1/4mi times with that kit when I see them published. And not with some tricked out Z running R-compounds.

ya gotta understand man, not too many cars running street tires are going to have fast 1/4 mile times, when you have that much power, all you're going to do is spin in the pit, you need stickier tires to launch harder, 500+ hp on the stockers is way too much for those tires to handle.

Yeah.
Not going to buy it. The mustang GT 255 rubber--runs better times than that Stillen Z, supposedly with more torque and less horsepower.

The trap-speed does not back up a 500bhp claim. Not one bit.

The ET of 12.8 with the trap of 113 is right on for an FI car that makes most of its power in the top end of the RPM band on street-tires with a mild launch. The car is probably putting down around 375-385whp.

My S ran high 10's on street tires, Invo's at that. It can be done with proper driving.
