So we will say unless you add more than 17 aftermarket parts equaling 450 extra hp and tq over stock than you ain’t heavily modified

Chill dude. It's ok to be wrong once in a while.
To me, heavily modified is getting into engine internals, cams, heads, stronger rods, blah blah blah. Not bolt on parts.

How is it ********? You are overcoming a 1.5 liter 2000 pound deficit. See if the mustang could overcome that same deficit.
Answer the obvious questions: How is expedition, with an open 'limited slip' hook 500+hp on street tires? It has no launch control, so how is it 'on boost' at the line? Ford states, the cams are low end torque, for towing not high RPM racing(the opposite). If true, those are not stock cams. To over come a 2000lb weight diff, would require and additional 300-400hp. That is the stock 375hp + plus another 300+Hp in mods or nitrous. A 700hp 6 cyl is laughable, when you consider the Hellcat is in that range. It probably has $25,000 in mods.
You can boost launch by holding the brakes on the line and revving to 2700rpm. do it all the time
As far as overcoming what? The stock GT would clearly have won the 1/4 mile.
1/4 mile is the true test. Racers use a bump box and trans brake, that basically lets them floor it at the line, but holds rpm at 3000. The Mustang has a similar feature. The button is released and you are instantly at full throttle. The turbo race cars also use a CO2 bottle to eliminate lag and be at max boost on the line.
