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.

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.

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

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.
