And that's about it... just like Honda. No low rolls because traction issues.

I mean...from 1:02-1:10 it looked like the GT500 had the e-brake on so I'd give the 5.0 a little more credit then again, I don't have audio where I'm at now so I can't hear if even hits/etc.

The GT500 obviously is the faster car from a higher roll. Both suh-weet rides!

Um...is everyone being sarcastic about the "sport" mode? Pretty sure that just stiffens up the shocks.

It has to with suspension and steering. I would say the GT500 was starting in a gear up for traction.

RTR package is nothing but some rims/spoiler/front lip and side along with wheels.

Surprised by the RTR myself. I expected Shelby domination. Especially in "sport mode".

Only one call out for that:

Good run... but where are you guys getting your hp numbers from? And whats that 5.0 weigh? I dont make 460-490 and have already taken down a well driven stock 14 GT500. Also Ive never seen a stock GT500 make 620whp. They are good for about 580 locally.

I guess in every area it varies. My buddy in his '13 5.0 with Boss Manifold, Longtubes, O/R X, and muffler deletes made 445whp at AED.


I was surprised with the outcome for sure though. 5.0 did pretty well.

I'm impressed you beat a car with 100 more horsepower Evan. I can't run with the big dogs.
