Thanks for posting these - it helps put the situation into perspective. For my wife, this will still be a massive upgrade even at higher speeds. He current car (Mini countryman s all4 - she thinks it is zippy) takes 19.2 seconds for 0-100 (vs. About 12.5 for the Mach-e GT) and 12.3 seconds to go from 60-100 (vs. about 6.5 in the GT). Not too shabby!

Wonder why Unbridled Extended was such a dog though?

This is my biggest worry, and maybe my saving grace. Driving a 2013 Fusion Hybrid for the last five years and my last Mustang about 6 years ago, pretty much everything will feel fast lol.

50-70:

70-90:

50-70 in Unbridled Extended mode:

I don't know if there's any way to search dragy to see if any MYPs have done 70-90 but C&Ds MYP test has its 50-70 at 1.8 seconds.

Interesting the C&D test of the polestar 2 (402 hp / 487 lbs) has a 50-70 of 2.2 seconds so with your numbers it look like its going to be hard even for ford to live up to its European Marketing slogan of fastest accelerating in its class with numbers like that

Oh another option is the Polestar 2 if the GT falls through, for some reason it's like I always forget that car exists.

The 2 is cool, but, we drove one at the Austin “showroom” and there was one absolute dealbreaker no reviewers have talked about that I’ve seen - the center console tunnel is fucking monstrously wide at the waterfall location. My right knee could not stop banging it. I’m 6’3” but even my wife said it was ridiculous, she’s 5’10”. But, yeah, it drives good, is pretty good looking and the price is competitive. Kinda short on range but I see Polestar has recently bumped the range a bit for ‘22.

Good lord, this is a tall order.


GTPE runs 1/4 mile at 100mph, people start to lose their minds (don't even worry about what the time was, it was probably mentioned like 3 times in 31 pages vs about 4928 times mentioning the 100mph speed)

Debates into the night about the 1/8 mile time and speed and what it could mean for the 1/4 mile if things are fixed

Meanwhile orders are being cancelled, or on the verge of being set on fire

Salt everywhere

Accords running better 1/4 mile speeds

Mexican drag races

Accords, and 2.0T motors in general, pulling so much harder at highway speeds that more orders of the GT/GTPE are set ablaze from the flames of turbo exhaust pipes

People living their lives one quarter mile at a time

AWD pulling faster 1/4 trap speeds

Users blocking other users

New cars being considered

Speculation on what the issue really is

Reviews not being released to back up claims of performance

Hopes and dreams are dashed

Hearts and minds waiting in anguish for validation in their decisions

Hmmm that's unfortunate... I'm 6'3" too so that definitely might be a deal breaker. Unfortunately there's nowhere to find one around here.

The idea of the unbridled extended is to enable people to have more track time out of a charge, rather than just blasting around and run out of juice after a couple of laps so it would be expected for it to be slower as it no doubt dials back the max available power to increase range.

Apologies if this has been discussed (I've read most of this thread, but probably missed a few posts), but I thought Ford specifically stated a top speed of 124 mph for the GT and GTPE. From these early runs, there is zero chance of these cars hitting that as currently configured. For the regular MMEs, the top speed is 112 mph (or maybe 113), and there are reports of them pulling hard right to the limit -professional driver on a closed course, obv.

Ford clearly figured out the top speed, right? And if they are advertising 124 mph, and no one is getting close (professional driver on a closed course), well, there are truth in advertising laws that come into play, aren't there?

The runs don't say it won't make 124 just that it could take awhile to get there.

It has indeed been discussed, and one starry night, in a small Mexican villa, a 120mph+ top speed was verified. But it seems that it approaches that limit very slowly rather than pulling hard up to that point before being throttled.

It's my greatest contribution to this whole forum lol

if you mash the pedal right now in a GTPE, you will get up to 124 by early 2022

As others have stated it will get there eventually, I am not a fan of ford using 1ft roll out time as they always make numbers look better than they really are, but with the posted numbers we have so far even getting the advertised 0-60mph and especially the 0-100kph times ford have quoted maybe optimistic
