Take a look at this video of a stock 2012 Nissan GT-R run head to head against a 2005 Ford GT modified with a pulley change and tune. The 2012 Nissan GT-R was using it’s updated control system allowing for 0-60 MPH in just 2.9 seconds. The Ford GT has no such systems available and was able to keep the bleeding to a minimum on the launch using it’s big fat tires, a lot of power and a bit of finesse.

Inside line put a brand new 2011 Ford Mustang GT with the DOHC 5.0-liter V8 on a DynoJet 248 dyno. The new Mustang put down some impressive numbers making 395 horsepower and 365 ft-lbs of torque to the rear wheels. Using a 13% driveline loss, this puts the new Mustang GT at just over 450 horsepower, well above the 414 horsepower published by Ford. A recent 1/4 mile drag racing of the new 2011 Mustang shows it dipping into the 12′s with a 12.801 @ 110.8 MPH.

We’re looking forward to seeing some more results from actual owners, so check back soon as we’ll be posting them up as they come in. Take a look at the dyno graph, pictures and video using the links below:

Take a look at this video of a Ford Capri launching so hard that all 4 wheels come off the ground while the car rides down the track on the ends of the wheelie bars.

Check out this video of a Ford Mustang launching with a huge wheelstand that continues down the track well past the 60′ mark. The car tilts so far back that something in the rear hits the ground causing the car to tilt up even farther and travel down on ONE REAR WHEEL. Amazingly, the car bounces back down without flipping over and lightly rubs against the drag strip’s left wall. The videos shows both and inside and outside view of the run as well as a slow motion replay. Enjoy and be careful out there!
