Jonathon's best chance to beat Zeek would be at the track forcing Zeek to attempt to launch the car without breaking the rear in the car. Otherwise he will have to leave soft and try to chase him down before the traps. By limiting the distance, it gives the Stang a good chance. However, on the street, from a roll with doing a full pull, the Stang is at a serious disadvantage due to power to weight, gearing and aerodynamics.
From a roll, Zeek NA to Jonathon's boost, it should be a decent race providing Jonathon has traction (which he should on those tires). The distance of the race will determine how many cars Zeek will put out front cuz the Vette will undoubtly backdoor the hell out of a blown Stang.
Zeek on spray, forget it. Someone should call the Homicide Unit cuz there would be a murder going down.

Johnathan has swapped to 3.15 gears, so he will be able to hang in boost for a good while...may or may not help though, just throwing that out there.

Trans gears also play a big role in that as well, not just rear end gearing. A lot of 5.0's need to make a gear switch when going boosted because with stock gearing will either make you run out 4th or force you to throw 5th before the traps which either way slows you down. Switching to the 3.15's will certainly help him in that area.

I think he said that he should be able to cross traps in the 130s in 4th, but not sure where in the RPM in 4th.
Mathwise, based on the tires he has (which I think are 275/60/15 M/Ts) and the gearing in the MT-82, 130 would be about 6500 RPM, so he has enough gear to stretch 140 in 4th, maybe even 145 if he runs it to 7200-7300.

I have serious doubts that he will trap 130+. My guess would be 125-128 depending on the temp and DA.

Bryan trapped 130 a few times I think. Of course experience of driver may be the difference, but the car itself should be plenty capable.

Hopefully we will find out. It should run good. The trick will be finding the sweet spot of launching the car. Big tire with a twinscrew is a delicate balance. Needs more RPM to keep it from bogging, too much and it will blow tire.
LOL, the funny thing is that if it was an auto, no question the car would be damn fast at the track. The damn manual adds a lot of variables to it all.
Side note - Yesterday at the RR event, there was Two Mustangs that ran well and one which was JShoots Boss. Built motor, boost and a built auto and it ran well all day long going to the semi-finals. All the other faster cars there going into the late rounds - Vettes.

I've only heard him say "I'll be launching the piss out of this car." which was another reason he wanted a taller rear gear. lol
Glad that RR went down without a hitch. JShoots Boss is a beast. Drag is what limits him.
