How much trouble do you all think the gt500 is going to be on us f body guys on the street? Just wondering what everyone thinks. Thanks sailors

 

Looks like no trouble for you! Those things are HEAVY pigs. I hear they're hard to modify compared to the 03-04 slowbras. And lastly, it'll only be old rich guys who buy them and they certainly wont race them.

 

Hrmmm....last one I read about ran 12.2@118 and with traction control ON it ran 12.6@114. Lets see. put a pully on it, some gears, I can see low 11's on DR's. Car lists for 40K, after the first few months dealer mark-up will come down...hrmmmm For 50K including TTL and mods, I think it could be low 11's or so. IT is more of an image than a performance car imho.

 

I thinnk evan smith ran a 12.2 at 117 or so...the same guy who ran a stock fbody into the 12s.

 

Evan Smith ran the following:

12.74 at 111 with a hot car

12.42 at 115.7 powershift 2nd and spinning thru 3rd with a 2.14 60 foot

12.554 at 115.32 speedshifting 2nd with a 2.13 60 foot

12.257 at 117.18 powershift 2nd with a 2.11 60 foot

12.37 at 116.52

12.61 and 12.68 with traction control on

On the highway with a hot car it looks like it's going to be a solid mid-high 12 second car (coupe).

 

the new GT500 is going to be sick, I dont know if it will take off like the '03-'04's since the M6 with blown V8 isnt anything new anymore, plus the 40K price tag, but seeing as how 03' cobra's have seen upward of 450 rwhp on the stock blower with just bolt-ons i'd say 550-600 rwhp on the stock blower with all the bolt-ons is totally possible...basically with sticky tires, good '60 its a high 10 sec low 11 sec car with just bolton's, its just gonna be crazy...but then again with the price I dont know how many you would actually run into on the street...
