Even in my z06 I need to put effort into the launch to keep up with them. Although a bad driver will make them look slow, which I think is the case in the above video.

From a roll they are fairly quick too. I suggest only running them from a 40 roll unless you are in an EVO/STI or something that cuts 1.7 60 foots or less consistently. With full bolt ons on the mustang they can trap nearly 120 MPH. Short of headers and they are at 117-118 MPH.
I've run plenty of them at the track, most of them are tune and intake and they're usually running mid to high 12s. From a dig I usually take a 2 car jump and then hold them there for the rest of the 1/4 mile.
