Good kill. GT500s are pretty nasty cars. I drove my friends w/ his traction control on and that bitch was still in spin city. Street tires FTL.

I don't blame you on the nitrous. A lot of time was spent redoing things based on what was found out along the way. Heat soak/Heat issues, turbo housing size for a 408 CI versus the stock size motor, Single turbo versus twins, radiator sizing and type, water pump flow rate issues and of course drivability versus race tune. It's fun now just working on launches and small tweaks.

I do have a lot of respect for the guys out there putting down big HP and they use their car as a DD. My next purchase is a C6 Z06. I'd like to see perfect street manners in a 600RWHP car built for Road Racing. That's a next year project though....here I go again..LOL

That t/a is nasty looking(OP). Good kill. I am too slow to run with a GT500 even stock unless I am in one of my other cars

The GT500s I have seen with little mods didn't run that fast considering the power they made. I think the weight has a lot to to with it.


Chas your car is SICK BTW

I guess since I have a Fox body Mustang and a Supra that makes me a bipolar whiney

Especially from a roll, you're down 150rwhp and like 180rwtq. Unless you have a ton of weight reduction, you shouldn't win against an equal driver.

no doubt your car looks wicked and is pretty fast.
How many videos should I post showing that what you know is ****?? Do you know how many people on here have beatin a pullied cobra with a cam only car? Remember this is street racing... try keeping all of the trap speed and hp comparisons out of it. That's how a lot of people get their feelings hurt.

Do you live within 2 hours of St. Louis? I'd be happy to show you what my low hp and low trapping car will do.

post all the videos you want, i could find the same videos from youtube on the other side, no reason to do it really.

i'm not saying it'll be a slaughter by any means, should be a fairly close race (a few cars from say 40-140). I'd love to race you and find out but I'm in Dallas, and I wouldn't care if I lost, it'd be fun. I just don't think I would lose, that's all.

You're wasting your time. Line it up against one in dallas. There's a cammed ls1 in every town now.

Hmm... if someone beat a GT500 with a stock Fbody LS1 with JUST a cam change I'd say that GT500 either needed 1. DRs or 2. New driver.

If that isn't what you are saying then ok.

Right. For example I beat a stock LS1 fbody once on a regular street race. The guy couldn't hook up, and just plain stunk. I would however not go around saying that a stock GT can beat LS1 fbodies.

I have a feeling the person the OP raced simply stunk at racing. That however doesn't mean he didn't still win the race.

He wasn't the only one acting that way.

You are right! You probably would not beat a stock LS1 regularly, but in that one race you did! The faster car does not always win. As I posted earlier, its about driving skills and getting traction that wins all races! Not would've, could've, and should've.

A stock LS1 that could not hook up? Were you guys racing on a frozen lake or something?

No clue. He spun. I am sure he didn't have DRs or any type of performance tires.

Hell I can get my stock GT spin with 555s.

When it's above 60 degrees around here my car will dead hook from a 1st gear roll. I have some cheap nexen 275/40/17's on stock suspension and don't have any issues on the street. Hey why did Lemons get banned?

This was a stop-light race. He spun. Don't know why.

I think it was because he made a "racist" remark. I was told it was temp, but he is still banned.

It would be nice to see lemons back in.

I have more than just a cam. I wasn't talking about cam only cars beating a gt500. I was talking about the 03/04 cobras. Res0n is talking like a pullied cobra almost cannot lose to a cammed f-body. And yes as far as street racing goes, anything can happen. That's why it's fun. People who race by hp numbers need to take their asses in the bench racing section.

For any of the mustang nut swingers, don't worry, when he gets more seat time and loses his passenger I'm sure he will be ahead of me. Until then, looks like I'm out in front. Oh and back at the top for fastest car in the family lol
