OT: Hot Rod Magazine says new 05 running a 12.31???

[nmcgrawj]

Anyone read the article? I caught a glance of the cover and saw 05 GT runs 12.31 without nitrous. What are the details? Slicks? What else? I thought they were going to run 13's but clearly this one isn't stock.


Im going to be pretty upset if i cant easily beat these new guys with my h/c/i setup. I hope whatever they did isn't easy for everyone to do

View attachment 519924 Why spend the $$ for a new cobra when an 05 can keep up with very little mods "if" this is true.

Hmmmm wow. Thats still damn impressive. I hope its a couple other things...thats not too many things! Looks like i gotta keep saving

I wouldn't worry. Stock ones are squarely in the upper 13's at this point -- not a challenge for a H/C/I 94/95. Very few people are going to do these kinds of mods for the track. And if its the street you race on, most all of the specialized track mods do very little for a street race.

paul should get a 05 gt vert and set a whole new bar

Actually, they cut Paul's car out of the picture. He was towing it down the track to get those times.

There were 2 05's at the track last night. One's best run was a 14.4 but the black one pulled off a 13.70! Im siked about the new 05s.

wouldent make for very good highway driving, Id think it would be pretty noisy.

 

[Joes95GT]

The new 05's have plenty of power for sure. The biggest problem I see with them is the need for another full turn of gear. A 4.56 and slicks could probably get those cars into the 12's without too much trouble.

there was a black 05 gt at the track with me the other night, it ran the same time as me, granted it was the guys first time at the track with the car, then again.... it was my second time ...
