Sutton is afraid of this thing. I can say that because I own and drive an NHRA stock Mustang myself. Rule 1: BURY RIGHT FOOT INTO THROTTLE and don't let up!! Kick the clutch and pull the damn lever HARD...you ain't gonna hurt it! C'mon MIke...you can do better.

[BayBoy51o]

your on fucking crack. that car is DE-TUNED and STOCK and dude wasnt even a good driver and he ran 11.5. So go take your Ford hating ass to a Slowmaro video cause we all know FORD=First On Race Day!

[fdjizm]

@toastedtires Relax there bailout boy, you're in denial.

[13sfaustino]

those are some skinny ass front tires

[SuperInline6]

somebody needs to learn how to drve a stick shift car!

[hugoortiz05]

Please tell me this was just a shake down pass????

[itunesnetwork]

that car is build to be abused!!!! why the fuck are shifting lk a girl!!! get sumone eles in there that will slam them gears!!!!!

[hillbillyjeremy]

Quit pussy-footin it!!

[DEADTORIGHTSRACING]

@wingsgary YOUR RIGHT ... even in an automatic Put your foot to the floor and if you got it spay it out the back door

[CamaroSS1969427]

@qbubbaq not 1000, but close

[ArkDiscoverydotCOM]

Hmmm my Lexus ISF 416 hp crazy tork will do that.

[wolfmann442]

Drive the damn thing,you sissy mary!!

[billybb17]

if he knew how to shift it might have been a bit faster

[615whpCobra]

my grandmother can shift better than this dude!

[qbubbaq]

@toastedtires Its Deturned for NHRA regulations. This car can make over 1000 HP at the wheels

[ftfd1209]

@Sk8FalIen I do agree with ya there. All of my Mopars have had a fat ass and had to go on a huge diet!!! LOL

[Sk8FalIen]

@bigmac9396 have you ever driven an 11 sec car? I have and I wouldnt really consider it a turd...but then again I bet your running 9s like everyone else on here

[Sk8FalIen]

@ftfd1209 fords do make power with and without forced induction and the challenger is a badass car but dodge needs to put their ladies on a diet...

[JayGeePee1]

Everyones talking junk about how he drove.... It was his first time ever driving the car, cut him some slack. I haven't met one person who can jump into a strange/new car and drive it perfectly the first time. On another note - 11.5's is hauling ass especially with the granny shifting. Its bad as hell that car has the potential to push 8's.

[steelman1196]

If you need someone who knows how to speed-shift that car, give me a call!

[steelman1196]

If you need a driver that knows how to shift that Mustang, let me know!

[toastedtires]

What a highly overpriced piece of shit. I can't believe that a Mustang Ford "optimized for drag racing" only ran an 11.52 with a really high mile an hour though? Either that ass can't drive or that thing is a flaming turd. My bet is that it is overpriced junk just like everything Ford makes..........that's sad that it has a detuned engine from a real Cobra.

[7pastorb]

@ftfd1209 well if thats the case then how did the 2010 mustang beat the camaro and the challenger in both quarter mile AND slalom.....its naturally aspirated.... what difference does it make if it has a supercharger or not... i give kudos to ford building a car that the customers have been asking for for many years.

[ftfd1209]

Why would anyone want a car that can't make actual horsepower. The only way ford can ever make horsepower is to put a supercharger on it. Go buy a Challenger Drag Pak and get real raw true american horespower. Even Don Garlits and Jeg Coughlin JR agree.

[midniterunband]

@UnitDead no you cant, theres no VIN# for these cars, just a part #

[xmodrock]

driver mod!!!

[UnitDead]

So, as a customer vehicle does that mean I can buy one and drive it on normal roadways or is it just a track vehicle?
