Default Twin Turbo Shelby GT500 vs Twin Turbo LSx Silverado

This is the second time I've done a jump at 150+ in a car I was filming in.... At least we didn't crash this time!

Shelby looks like it's dripping oil out of the exhaust and dumptubes every pull, assuming they aren't re-routed into the exhaust.

Almost. Had issues with the evap/catch can. Was blowing oil onto the headers, that situation is being rectified, it'll be ready to roll again soon.

Fast vehicles.

Shelby is gonna need to carry a case of oil with him with all that **** it's dumping out. Wow. He might wanna take his charge pipes off....and look at all the oil that is likely sitting in the tubes. Either too much oil going into the turbos, or not enough being evacuated out. That...or he might have some internal engine problems. Holy ****.

Lemme guess... Shelby was running a bit low on oil, filled it up by pouring onto exhaust? LOL

Very solid cars and nice runs... but thats A LOT of smoke. LOL

How bad would that suck?

Very possible but...if everyone involved couldn't say hey dude,..your **** is boiling(unmistakable smell of coolant), everyone involved would suck lol. Lets hope not. Maybe dude just needs some large -12 breather/catch cans off each valve cover(at best). But I dunno.

Awesome runs. The Shelby had a old school evac setup in the downpipes that wasnt working properly. It was dumping oil on the headers that are wrapped, and made quite a nice smoke screen.
