It must be true
500hp is some good HP and the new Shelby GT is the fastest and most powerful yet that Ford has made.
My 300hp car goes 150mph+ and can kill someone just as easy...I think 500hp is plenty, I don't care what anyone says.
But saying "500hp aint much anymore" sounds like youre talking from year 2016.

I don't know man, there are an aweful lot of cars now making over 500+ at the wheels, and also a lot well in excess of that. It's not an every day thing but it is much more common than say 6 or 7 years ago. It seems like almost everyone now has some sort of FI. Just my $.02 though.

Nitto Drag Radials are not your average street tires. There is a night an day difference. Not to mention the one is a 6 speed, and the other a racecar!

it takes 85k and 750hp to go 11.3 in the 1/4??? does it turn better than it goes straight? i might not be seeing the advantage of buying from hpe on this one except for the name...id rather have a stock C6Z or viper than spend that much on the stang...thats almost twice the cost of a stock gt500 for a little over a second off the 1/4 and 250hp more...not worth it...looks ok though
