Rollout or rollout allowance is an adjustment in timed acceleration runs used by North-American drag racing and enthusiast magazines [citation needed] to create approximate parity over time between historic 0 to 60 mph and 1/4 mile acceleration times and those measured today using the Global Positioning System (GPS).
It is also faster than the 2011 GT500, which needs 4.2 seconds to get to 60 mph (97 km/h) as well as the Shelby Super Snake with 750 hp (559 kW), which takes 4.1 seconds. Weight difference isn't a factor to blame for the better performance than the GT500, considering the GT350 is only 24 lb (11 kg) lighter than the newly lightened GT500.
Since one-foot rollout before the timer starts is used by some North American publications, times which exclude the time of the first foot of acceleration are included. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 4 ] All times are independently tested and verified.
* The Shelby GT500 also has the ability to complete a quarter-mile run is under 11 seconds. * It is also carrying the best track times of any Mustang. * These fast times are thanks to the cars ...
Shelby Mustang GT500. Ford unveiled the Shelby Mustang GT500, the successor to the GT350, at the North American International Auto Show in January 2019 [143] for the 2020 model year. [144] The car is powered by a 5,163 cc (5.2 L; 315.1 cu in) Predator cross-plane crank V8 with a 2.65-liter Roots-type supercharger by Eaton. [148]
Although a quarter mile (1320 feet, 402 m) is the best known measure for a drag track, many tracks are eighth mile (201 m) tracks, and the premiere classes will run 1,000 foot (304.8 m) races. The race is begun from a standing start which allows three factors to affect the outcome of the race: reaction time, power/weight ratio, and traction.
As with land-based drag racing, competitors race their vehicles for the lowest elapsed time (low ET) over a straight race course of a defined length. There are three standard drag race course lengths, 660 feet (1/8 mile), 1,320 foot (1/4 mile), and the most common length, used in professional drag boat racing, 1,000 feet (3/16 mile plus 10 feet).
