Just weighed my base 10r80 GT Mustang S650

Well, it's not only trapping 111 and it's a convertible.

That is correct but one pass was 112. Factor DA variables, was a car idling in the staging lanes, ambient temp 111 traps are possible.

and factor them the other way around and the car is going 116

It *CAN
FYI here is my 455hp 2024 Camaro off the showroom floor that trapped 117 on the crappy stock Goodyear 245’s In 1600 DA. As with anything YMMV.

That matches up with what those can run....

You proved my point by posting a convertible A10 (which will have a good 2mph handicap) going 113mph

If a hardtop, A10, gen3 S550 is only going 111mph in the 1/4, something is wrong. Extreme DA, driver error, etc.

I literally posted the D/A was 2365
His pass corrects to 12.2 @115 which is inline with every other run of the mill gen 3 10R80.

Agreed, I doubt it's calibrated for passenger cars. Ford lists these weights for the automatic-transmission (10R80) variants of the S650 Mustangs:

Model	Weight
Ecoboost Fastback	3588 lbs.
Ecoboost Convertible	3741 lbs.
GT Fastback	3832 lbs.
GT Convertible	4012 lbs.
Dark Horse Fastback	3993 lbs.

That's still not bad. I know many of us want the mustang GT to weigh 3,500 lbs, Farley talked about how he wants to make the mustang lighter as well, but without exotic materials like carbon fiber, there's only so much you could do. I'd be curious to see how much weight is saved ditching the rear seats, that could be one path forward, it's not like mustang owners really use rear seats anyway.
