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.
