shelby gt 500 is slow as hell

[86mustang5.oh]

i went to the nmra ford nationals in matin MI. and they had a blue and a red cobra and a ford gt.... the only people that could drive them where the engineers for ford and they had those damn things running 14.9 if they were lucky alot of people were disopointed but everyone knew the people driving didnt know how to drive worth a sh it but it was pretty cool.

14.9, **** that, What was the 60 ft an mph like 2.5 and 120? I ran a 14.8 in 99 degree weather.

Put a real driver in it and it will go 12's, EASY!! Those things will be running 11's all day with a pulley, exhaust and a programmer within a year, mark my words!

They may even do a high 11 with sticky tires and a great driver. We'll see.

this is very true. i read that evan smith from mm & ff got it to do a 12.27 with a 2.11 60 foot, and 115 or 117 trap speed i believe. bonestock. can someone say bolt-ons, exhaust, and drag radials?

You would think they would want someone competent to "represent". Too bad the mad VW engineer wasn't there to "veech the ve vesson!!

Any car with a manual transmission can be slow with a ****ty driver. An automatic on the other hand, all they gotta do is get the car to hook and hold it to the floor.

they will do 12's with just pulleys and a 4:10 in the rear. there a artical in 5.0 mag about it and test runs and stuff. 12.5 best time pulley stock

They may not be able to drive but I bet they know how to form sentences and paragraphs!

I don't know about the GT500, but here in portland they had a Ford GT running low 12s. It actually had less than stellar 60' times, most ground was gained in the topend, but that's their design. They were never meant to be 1/4 mile cars.

 

[86mustang5.oh]

the drivers just droped the clutch and burnt all the way down the track

Im not worried by initial numbers on anything... They will be fast. I doubt they would be any slower than the 03/04s and I have seen a few go in the mid 12s stock.

the driver have that thing running about the same times as the V6 S197s.

Those motors are insane. You thought the o3-o4 cobra's were bad.. There are going to be PLENTY of 750-800 RWHP GT500's popping up very shortly with minimal mods... i am sure someone is going to go into the 10's with basic mods before the end of the year...

MM&FF already got a 12.2x@117mph? I already gave the magazine to a friend. I'm with quikstang, I believe that with just a turbokit, that 5.4L GT500 is going to make north of 700 rwhp. I'm getting my fox ready for 'em as we speak.
