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.

for the 0.2 seconds he stayed in it I think if you would let it actually grip up it would have it would have started taking it to the nearest probably would take is an old carvanha there but our bond is empty yeah there's a little couple cars in there I don't know people are freaking like buying cars on their phones because all this quarantine stuff baby guns chance with his uh must be borrowing his grandpa's car today or something like I don't know chance knows the deal you might look like a douchebag but he is he's nice douchebag though just paint the line you can call me a pain if you won but I hate this car it's pretty scary I don't I don't like riding in it when I wouldn't even drive it and try to floor it like this is just it's useless here you go coming back I mean it's turned up pretty good it went 100 165 setting so that's this that open it right now a trap 165 what was that on the dyno roughly 1300 okay so 1300 or spar Mustang the 1300 fire Mustang is completely useless on the highway from a second we probably have to go in like 85 with some warm tires for this thing to stick I really believe that this power level for sure I think it needs to transfer case a little being first
