The traction will be minimal at best. From the factory the traction sucks and wheel hop is perhaps the worst I have ever experienced in a car. Shelby adds adjustable Eibach springs and shocks with much larger rear sway bars and and another added rear sway bar so perhaps it will be better? The early cars are turning low to mid 11s at 123 in stock configuration but that is with their test driver behind the wheel who has logged thousands of test miles. I expect with me behind the wheel mid 14s perhaps???

I hope they actually spend some serious time carefully calculating the suspension on those 'Stangs. Today at the Hemming's show/drags in Lebanon Valley, the best a new Shelby ran was low 13's. A club brought a number of them to race and finally a guy was able to break into the mid 12's after numerous passes. They were spinning tires down a 1/8th mile of the track.
