Cool vid, nice run… I once hit an elk on a deserted road at speed… nasty by the time he was sitting in the front seat of my later totaled F150…. Be careful with your sweet ride!
 
Nice run, I love it when a car can actually sweep the whole speedo, and the numbers aren't just for looks.
 
SHO looks like a rocketship ...

Oklahoma is within spitting distance of  "Mexico " and  I can't even take a whiff  of Tequila anymore cause of a REALLY bad  Loooooonnnnnnggggg hangover many years ago .

SPEED IS ADDICTIVE  .... I prefer burying the speedo during the day ... critters and I don't get along .
 
Nice 8) One of my gripes on the Explorer Sport is the needle is buried at 145. It's been there a couple of times and prolly would have gone a lil higher if it didn't slam into a wall of gauge plastic >:(
 
Pretty impressive.
Quick numbers:
0-60 less than 4.5 sec
0-100 12.5 sec
0-125 16.5 sec
0-140 23 sec
Your car is definitely in the 12's for the 1/4 mile.

The numbers start falling off quite a bit after 60 mph.  In your opinion, Steve, what can be done with the current drivetrain to narrow the gap at those higher speeds?  At what point do we need to move to a different engine/drivetrain?

I am a numbers' guy, not a mechanic lol. That being said, I rely on Livernois to answer that. I have asked them many time if it was possible to keep the first 2 gears as is with the tune, but increase the bosst just for 3rd and up. It seems like if they crank the boost, it is all across the powerband. That translates to problems when launching, spinning and even engine shut down at the end of first gear because of tire spinning during shift and confusing the sytem.
But without being able to remove the AWD (I believe the Jeep SRT8 were able to remove AWD and being a RWD), there will always be a higher drivetrain loss and therefore less power once the advantage of AWD is no longer need. So, we have a beast from 0-60mph, but on a roll on the highway, we lose that advantage. Also, we have the weight and aerodynamics that play against us...
Still ver nice for a grocery getter! ; )
 
I just noticed that you shift into 4th at 90 with the PP.  Is that correct?

my camera man :)

two hands on the wheel in a straight line holding my iphone sideways with borh index fingers and thumbs. That's why the camera turns with the steering wheel. My other three fingers in each hand holding over the top of the center of the wheel. Pretty safe or at least thats more grip than I usually have on the wheel while driving :)
