FWD tends to always trap higher than their e.t. would suggest due to their lack of traction off the line. Compare the S2k to a bolt-on RSX-S and you can see that.

It MIGHT be due to the turbos, but S2k's have real peaky powerbands and, when driven correctly, can run the same e.t.'s as the previous gen Mustang GT which also traps ~100mph. That is my reasoning behind the powerband not being the issue.

Lag between shifts? Autos naturally trap higher and don't have lag between shifts though. I'm stumped.
