Seems kind of suspect that a 605 hp car only did a 4.4 sec 0-60 and a 1/4 mile of 12.5 seconds, when the 500 hp GT500 did 4.6 and 12.8. Three tenths of a second faster than the 500 hp GT500 in the 1/4 mile? A 100 additional horsepower should equate to about a full second improvement in the 1/4 mile.
Let me drive it and I'd bet that I could squeeze it into the 11s. Or maybe they just need to take off those 20 inch wheels and put on some 17 or 18 inch wheels.
Now I wonder what the 725hp upgrade Super Snake would do in the 1/4 mile. I had estimated high 10s but based on this info above, it appears to be low 12s.
If this is the case, I am getting happier by the minute with my lightly modded 2007 GT and its 4.8 sec 0-60 and 13.4 sec 1/4 mile for 30 grand.
