Maybe that will shut some people up about that car.

It surprised me, I'll admit. But I love it, proving the bench racers wrong haha.

4 months means nothing in my opinion. They use the same tried and proven mods as used on its predecessor, the 03/04 Cobras. The GT500 is a step up in regards to displacement, blower size and efficiency and head flow so I am not surprised at how soon it took to get there. Not sure why anyone else is. Fast car for sure just a little heavy for my liking.

People are never going to shut up. This car along with the c6 zo6 will be talked about for along time. I'm impressed, but it is a shop car.

They never do. Its always hush hush until someone finds out and posts the full mod list. They are trying to make a buck by cornering the GT500 market stating we have the fastest one in the world dont worry how we got there. Just send your car to us for mods. I have never heard of these guys before this.

3600lbs and only 664rwhp won't get you in the 9's. There is some weight reduction. But still the engine itself is a powerhouse. Put that motor in a normal weighted mustang and that's mid to low 9's on the factory longblock. I like it(motor) but don't like the chassis.

Who cares if it's a pig, it runs 9's and traps 140+mph. Doesn't it become
irrelevant at that point?
