Go a little further and you are in the high 11's. The car's real threat is the launch. You will able to jump on most cars in your class. Meaning Mustangs, Camaro's, etc... They have to mod theirs to run you down. We are woking on that last 1000' to stay ahead of them...we shall see.... Good luck. I looked at the goat when they came out, just didn't like the manual shift in the car...never drove the auto, but have owned a lot of Camaros and Vettes in my day...I will keep the XF's....lol
Ok yea I know these cars react very well to just little mods, but stock for stock will it be as fast as the gto? And does anyone ever do exhaust mods to these cars? Sounds like it's all pulley's and tunes. Wondering if headers or getting rid of the cats gives you good results.
