Thanks for sharing. It is great to see "real world" numbers that are so good.
As far as launching, isn't it possible to use the electronic parking brake to hold the car in place and yet keep your foot over the gas? I know that (if your seatbelt is on) when you touch the gas with the parking brake engaged it will immediately release and your off. It happens pretty damn fast but when you are talking drag times there may be a slight delay in the computer so you may have to jump the gun a bit so that you start at just the right time but I wonder if it would work.
Anyone know why this wouldn't work or why it is perhaps a terrible idea?

watch out for the 2011 5.0L Mustang distractions at the strip
The new Mustang is pretty outrageous and will soon be plentiful everywhere. Even normally aspirated they pretty energetic. The second video is pretty extreme.
