I cannot wait to see that car hit the streets and strip! Bad ***!

Yeah I know that but I think a bigger blower with more boost is better then the 20 something extra cubes. Not that I care nor am I crying I was just pointing out the facts and why I'm not surprised about there power output.

I wasn't because of the multiple track packs and the different rear gears they offer like the ones that give it it's 200+ top end is probably the one that goes 0-60 in first but that probably also includes the over feature which is pretty badass by itself just curious to see what happens when these guys tune that out and try revving it that high all the time.

I'm aware of a single track package, which can be had if the performance package is chosen 1st and it offers the same 3.55 gears as the standard... If there are additional gear sets Ford is offering on the GT500 for 2013, I didn't find it on the Ford website.

Ford did offer a few different gear ratios in the GT for the past couple years and maybe for 2013 as well(I haven't looked), but the GT500 seems stuck on 3.55's.

I know the current (2011/2012) GT500 had a couple of ratios available but I'd thought that the 2013 was coming ONLY with the 3.31 gears with no other ratio even available?

the 013 gt500 will have only 1 rear gear to the best of my knowledge. the other options are simply track upgrades.

they are. i had read that they chose that gear as part of the torque management. it allows them to hit 62mph in 1st gear at something like 7k rpm, and gives the best power transfer throughout its range.

These things are going to get raped by blown 5.0's. stall/Blower/boss intake/off road x pipe and DR's an I run 10.7. And I still have a lot of tweaking to do. I also have skinnies coming.

True, The tranny is also geared different. That is why no other options.

We need more proof also. Not just a inside video with no time slip and making sure wasn't on slicks or DR;s. Come on.

Don't be makin excuses. Your high 10's with a auto and aftermarket atmosphere. It would be closer than you think.

10.7 to 11.1 isn't that close. That's going to be worse then the 10.4 chevelle race I had in the kill section.

Lingenfelter's same yellow ZL1 that was the first to get in the 10's with 720 hp also is the first to hit 200+ mph!!! 202.67 mph to be exact. Pretty awesome if you ask me.....

No vid yet

We asked Hameedi if they had ever gone for a top speed run or if the number was simply an estimate, and he said that they had done high speed testing at the Nardo Ring in Italy earlier this year. “There’s plenty of places to hit 180 mph in the U.S. but not many places to go 200 mph,” he told us. So what was the result of the testing? Hameedi says that SVT recorded a top speed of 202 mph in the 2013 Shelby GT500, the result of a combination of the extra power from the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 and improved aerodynamics. So there you have it – the official top speed of the 2013 Shelby GT500 is 202 mph.

i don't think hameedi is gonna outright lie like al op does/did. i could be wrong though. oh....and that seems like an awful lot of mods for 58hp.
