Cool 2009 Shelby GT 500 and My Car!!!

My buddy jsut bought a 2009 Shelby GT 500.. Has < 100 miles on it. Very nice ride. He traded in his '01 Bullitt in for this car. I do not like the body style of the '05+ cars... I think this body style will need to grow on me..

Yeah I am about at my limit i usually driuve about 1,500 miles or so..

I pulled a 12.30 @ 115 with a crappy 1.9 60'.. I am afraid to launch the car and sending the rear to the moon.. I did this on 17" stree tires too...

In the fall i am thinking of putting on my stock 16s and getting some new rubber and see if i can get a little bit better time with the 16s. Less rotational mass.. Who knows.. We will see.. Plus i took some weight out of my car too

My buddy has a 08 Shelby GT500 with a TVS blower, full exhaust and many other mods. He made 663rwhp, I will post a video of him racing my other buddy with a procharged ls2 c6 vette that dynoed 515rwhp from a dig. I flagged them off who do you think won?

I would prolly say the vette. With the GT500 having that much HP, if he does not have a tire to plant the power to the ground he is toast...

Am i right

looking great jonas. if ur going back to 16s, try the M/T 295/50/16. It'll fit the 8 inch rim. its a 28 inch tire, so put a rear end in that thing already
