Me thinks that the GT500 may have left traction control on and bogged after the launch. Not sure though as the vette wasn't exactly cruising behind him.

You can hear (for a split second) exhaut coming from the mustang, kinda of sounds like a stock V8 would. I think it may be a cobra, looks like it from the ***, and it looks like he did race for what I see as ~4 seconds.



........I really hope that is the camera messing with your exhaust sound, cause that was godawful.

Funny, because I don't own it anymore. It'd give a lot of guys here a nice run though.

Nope, that's my new ride. '06 VW GTI.

APR stage 2+
Autotech hpfp
3" ATP catless dp
BSH FMIC
Neuspeed pflo cai
BSH pendulum mount
Eurojet DV relocation kit (grenade style)
Eurojet pcv fix

It's at about 260whp & 300ft/lbs. Already have a plan in place for a Ko4 swap into it where I'll be at around 350whp pretty conservatively & it be very reliable.

Anyone find out anything about this race.

Haha well guess we won't know until the Shelby guys gets in here as well and tell's us his side of the story. But I would say thats a long shot (to she a Ford owner join the site and tell his side of the story) But the way things are here on Tech these days I can really see it happening due to the infiltration of the Ford Mustang Jihad!

Some of us Jihad members were here long before you and therefore it would be you who has infiltrated us!
The guys that started LS1Tech weren't always GM guys. Tony actually had a Mustang *gasp*.

Good kill on the GT500. They need some mods before they wake up. They're roaches in stock trim.
