Beware Of The 2007 Shelby Gt500 Just Raced One On The Freeway In Corpus Christi, Tx, Man Let Me Tell You These Things Are Wicked!! We Raced From 80 To A 165 And Rubbed Paint Until About A 150 Then I Finally Got A Car Link On Him At 165.....granted That I Have A Pretty Much Stock 2002 Zo6 With Only A Ram Air System. I Did Not Expect That Car To Hang With Me Especially In A Vettes Territory. Cut Me A Little Slack On The Zo6 B/c I Just Bought It. I Sold A 650rwhp Ram-air Ws6, I Had To Graduate To The Vette, But Almost Got Spanked, I Will Be Ordering Heads And Cam This Week Due To This Race.

Saw one down at the dragstrip the best I saw it do was 13.1 I think it is a real heavy car but when it comes to bigger cubes in high MPH its tough.

I thought they were electronically limited to 155mph. Maybe the guy had some programming done to do it....or could explain why you pulled a car on him at high speeds??? Never had the pleasure of racing one....although I can't hardly EVER get a race around here to save my life, too much traffic. Nonetheless good kill brother!! Now send him my way!

I dont think that car is wicked at all ,think about it......... your car might have around 340-370rwhp and that car should have around 430-470rwhp, that puts that mustang at least 100 more rwhp and it still could not pull you. Like that guy said, that mustang is a tank!

when yer driving one of the fastest cars around ya get a little concerned when ya can still see but not read the front tag. some beamers will give ya a run. but try as they must when will they learn we will not be taken. the c5 and c6,s are better than 90% of their drivers. my first MOD is always a 3 day driving school

I have a friend here in town that has a 04 almost stock Viper ( I think he has replacement filters) He raced one the other day and easily outran him twice. He said it was ok fast but not quite enough for a stock Viper!
