I also see that Dragy was about 0.5 behind. That means I could be hitting a 3.50 0-60 versus the 3.60 I'm getting. :cool:

We don’t need to see them lined up, we already know how this will play out.

What we need now is for Ford to fix it.
But will they?

IMO, the only way Ford is going to do something (assuming the hardware has the wiggle room) is if people stop buying them. As long as they're selling, there isn't much of an incentive for Ford.

And another big reason was already given earlier in the thread: The 0-60 was what was advertised and for most non-enthusiasts, it will be 'good enough'. People are willing to forgive a couple 10 tenths if the butt dyno says it's fast. And that's those who care about the numbers. Then there are other things about it which are attractive to buyers guaranteeing sales. Money talks.

My first run of the night. Interesting on my Dragy and how it's different than the slip. I had it in my cupholder. Making another run soon I hope, if the rain stops, and I'll hold the Dragy on the window sill.

Yup! It dogged after 80. I trapped almost 102, but def not acceptable.

Thanks again for this great info. 7.79@88 1/8th is moving, even if it’s slowing up at 80, as you said and as the G trace clearly confirms. 80. 80. Ok, I’m done. You had to be there to get it…

12.45@102 shitting the bed on top is good too ?.

I'm actually thinking now that I was at the top of the staging lights, which would discount the 1ft rollout on the track timer, but dragy would still account for it. That would be why the times are off. I passed both staging lights, then backed up into them, but didn't back all the up to the beginning of them.

I'll try to go again next week, but not sure if I can. :'(

But yes, this Mach-E should get mid-high 11's and at least 117mph.

Serious question:

The Mach 1 runs 12.5-12.6. Did anyone honestly expect Ford to have the Mach e GT run quicker that the Mach 1?
Yes, because no one is cross-shopping an ICE coupe Mach 1 and an EV 4-door SUV Mach-E GT. They are however cross-shopping a Mach-E GT and Mode Y Performance which is faster than that.

And my Mach-E ran faster than that tonight. :)

Sigh… I’m at that point that I’m glad my car was delayed…

what if what Ford doesn’t want is to beat the mustang GT in the 1/4? Then we are totally screwed…..

Right now it's a two horse race between Mach-E GT and MY perf. If you don't want the Tesla, you'll have to settle for Mach-E with its limitations ("I live my life 1/8 mile at a time"). But hopefully the EV6 GT will join the field soon. Maybe followed by the M version of BMW's iX? Maybe also followed by the electric version of Macan? The future is bright. We'll just have to wait a little bit.

Yes. 12.53-12.453 = 0.077. Less than 0.1. Nowhere near 0.5.
Doh! Yup..I don't know what I was thinking. Inside mean 0.1. haha

Its a 1 horse race in the 1/4 and a closer race to 60. Ford might not have the tech to make the car as fast as the MYP due to limitations of their motor/batts right now.
