Paddle Shifted Turbo 400 Street Driving: Twin Turbo 5.0 Mustang
What happens here
Reflect on the traction observed during all acceleration tests. Discuss the challenges of putting down the car's approximately 1300 horsepower on 315/60/17 drag radial tires from a 60 MPH roll. Analyze the impact of the car's setup, including the transmission gearing (Turbo 400 without overdrive) and its effect on launching and highway performance. Consider the potential need for further modifications, such as a transfer case for all-wheel drive, to improve traction at this power level. It was noted that at 165 mph the car still had more to give.
Goal: Understand the car's power delivery challenges and limitations.
