    That car rolled off the assembly line and out to Sonoma County for media week. No modifications what so ever.

    The cold air off the bay helps too, Sonoma is cold at night, but has a little headwind onhe track.

    Pretty impressive time, especially with the stock tires.  Not exactly sure how the guy is able to launch so well.  Would be interesting to see his 60 ft times.  I am also surprised that the extra 50 hp is good for a .5 to .6 improvement over what typical stock 6.1's are running which makes me think there is a little more done to that car than just rolling off the assembly line (noticed it had an M plate) hmmmm.....

    I was never able to do better than 2.2sec with street tires but I have a 6 speed and I think that 392 is an auto which I know makes it easier to launch.

    Car looks great in white.

    Track prep must have been excellent if it did that time on street tires. If this is any indication, the new 6.4 will be a beast with a few bolt-on's and drag radials. I've got the feeling the 392 has a lot more left in it like the 5.7's have proved to be.

    The 60 foot was a 1.82 I'll see if I can post the time slip that was posted.

    Supposedly this was a 6 speed car.

    Not sure what they did to the suspension, but it must have been an improvement.

    The car in the video is an automatic. If the 6.1's are any indication, the 6 speed cars will probably be slower at the track.
