Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) vs Ferrari 488 GTB

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Ferrari 488 GTB is the quicker car, covering it in 10.24 s at 138.0 mph against the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650)’s 12.42 s — a margin of 2.17 s. To 60 mph the Ferrari 488 GTB takes 2.58 s and the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) 4.20 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) or the Ferrari 488 GTB faster?
The Ferrari 488 GTB. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 10.24 s to the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650)'s 12.42 s, a margin of 2.17 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 2.58 s against 4.20 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) 0-60 time?
The Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) reaches 60 mph in 4.20 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.42 s at 115.1 mph.
What is the Ferrari 488 GTB 0-60 time?
The Ferrari 488 GTB reaches 60 mph in 2.58 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 10.24 s at 138.0 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) trips the lights at 115.1 mph and the Ferrari 488 GTB at 138.0 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 3 of 3 for the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) and 10 of 11 for the Ferrari 488 GTB. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
