Default mexico run

Ran a friend's 2008 GT500. Car has upper & lower pullies, cat delete and can tune...both cars on drag radials. From a 40 i got out about a car and he didn't catch me till top of fourth and I backed off. From a 50 was all him. The V is in a bad emo range at 50...I tried 2nd gear rmps were to high, 3rd was to low...luckily car goes in Friday for pulley swaps so I should win regardless of mph next time...lol

Considering the Cobra has around 580 rwhp and you weigh more you did great....Update us after the pulley work!

Just a note, the curb weight on an 08 gt500 is just shy of 4,000lbs. Sounds like the gearing was the deciding factor in these runs.

My buddies GT500 weighed 3855 with a full tank of fuel. The V1 with a maggie should easily weigh more then this.....

I agree the 3.73's do help our cars foresure.

Take it? I'm so confused over this. So.....I was told to search.....for......what? A video that doesn't exist. Got it.

I do retract my 10 year old statement. Only to replace it with my girlfriend, arguing with zero logic
And this will obviously not stop me from telling specials to do a search when they come in here asking the same questions.
