They will definitley need ported blower + N20 or alot of psi on the KB.

with that big blower on it. 700rwhp should be a piece of cake.
My car is 500lbs lighter than a Shelby so the "tick slower" thing might
not necessarily be true...but I hear what you're saying.

Nice.
Without weight reduction and both cars being stock weight, hen the GT500 is a tick slower than your style car (if equal hp). You already know this though.

upgrading to the 2.6. I'm waiting for some results first. I'm on the fence
though...turbo or blower. One is a cheap bolt on, the other is $$$.
The 2.8L KB will need to be spun way higher than I'll spin it...probably
26-30psi.

133mph and a 9.90 @ 143mph.

the only thing that was bugging me, people on that site going look out z06, after the things you do to get to the 500 to get it to keep up with a stock z06 you got a straight line car, and thats about all it will do decently after that, in the z06 you can go make that low 11 in the mid-high 120's and after that go tear up a road course if you want to. yeah the 500 is nice but its not even comparable to the abilities of the new z06

Complete difference. If ford wanted a sports car for enthusiasts to mod and make fast, they would. They do not care though. Trust me.
