ICE Mustang GT vs Mach-E GT drag race

[Mach1E]

Finally a side by side race from a dig and a roll. No big surprises but good to see.

Interesting. They moved the racing video from the racing forum to the video forum.

I guess it could fit in both? Not really show and tell for me since it’s not my video.

Could also probably be in the GT sub Forum. Lots of overlap. I think I need a Venn diagram.

I own both a GTPE and a FBO (full bolt on for those that dont know) ICE GT, and I can promise theres a 1 second gap by the 1/4 stripe in terms of a drag race. My ICE gt traps 120-122+mph out the back.

That was the MME GT, not the faster MME GTPE.

Very cool. Hopefully Ford will figure out how to dump the 5 sec full power limitation. If they do, I'd love to see the 1/4 time.

True, but based on actual tests the GTPE is hardly any faster at all than the MMEGT. Its very close.

Those races went pretty much exactly how I expected. From a roll the 5.0 is faster, but if going from a standstill it would take a good while to catch the MMEGT.

Did you get a time?

How’s that first 1/8th mile though vs your modified ICE GT?

We just need to let off at 80 mph every time to “win.”

Part of me is wondering if they knew the high voltage battery connectors were bad to begin with, and that’s why the 5 second rule…

I mean, if I wanted a GT I would buy a GT.
I wanted a car as fast as the GT, with a useable back seat, a nice interior, the ability to haul things, little maintenance, and no gas.
For that trade off, I can put up with 5 second limits.
The only people that care are car enthusiasts that shun electric anyway.

And I say this as an enthusiast with a petrol car and many good friends who won't buy electric no matter how fast it is because "what happens when the batteries die?"

Drag strips tell a different story. Eaxct same.

Not quite. Every GT “best” seems to be about 0.15 seconds slower than the GTPE.

That said, it’s close enough and significantly closer than the 0.3 seconds that was advertised.

The same car, same track, same day will be a couple tenths different run to run. So they’re within the margin of error for sure. Drivers race.

I have had 7 ICE GTs, including a whopping 225 HP 1987!

My brand new 18 ICE GT with Performance Package 2 and every option including adjustable exhaust Sound, it was so absolutely insane and just viseral from sound, to sideways, etc, I had to sell it within 6 months as I was racing my boys friends cars!

My GTPE is a blast, but I can control myself at least. (So far anyhow) having Solar definitely helps vs. the premium fuel in the ICE 5.0.

Hell, I put my 21!Powerboost F150 in Sport mode and with some wet roads and stability control off, was 4wheel drive power sliding just a week ago!

could it maybe be down to the tires? Continental all-seasons touring vs. Pirelli ultra high performance

in this side by side video the non performance gt was quicker than the gtpe on several runs consistently
