Now back to our regularly scheduled thread...It seems like the stock, or almost stock Coupes in 5AT trim are topping out at 14.2 at 99...the 99 shows me the power is there for a better time...14.0-14.1, but what are all your 60' times? 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3? That will tell the tale.

These cars seem to love Forced Induction so if you guys added a turbo and a Blower you should see low 13s.
My 60ft was 2.2 for the 14.2 and the best I've done N/a was 2.19. So far the best with the ST is 2.185 first time out. My 1/8th for the 14.2 was 9.23 and with the ST was 8.54 spinning through 1st and most of 2nd. Hopefully I will do better this friday.

If you read the car magazines, performance times can vary wildly with the same model. I've seen 05 Mustang GTs go from 4.9 0-60 to 5.8 0-60 with an automatic transmission by the same magazine. Elevation, humidity, air density etc. can all affect performance. I wouldn't doubt the times at all. They certainly are not unreasonable given the general performance of both the Coupe and Sedan.

Cool picture Samson. I'm a gunnersmate in the navy I wish those things were still in service. It's amazing that a 9 gun broadside will cause a couple thousand tons to shift 15 degrees through the water when fired.

Thanks bro. That would be the USS New Jersey, BB62. Yes, I wish they were still in service. You might get a kick out of a website I found that proposes upgrading the Iowa class battleships with parallel flight decks to launch the new Joint Strike force fighter.

It seems the Navy is a little worried that they don't have enough heavy fire power. The Iowa class would alleviate that. Their hydrodynamic hulls are still fast and keep up with the fleet. They also can take hits from Exocet missles, mines and torpedoes without sinking unlike many of the aluminum hulled ships. Their 16"/50 caliber guns can fire a 2,800 pound projectile almost 24 miles.

If you want to take a look-see at the proposal, you can see it for yourself at:

Go Navy and go Blue and Gold! Thanks for serving our country.
