I raced a 2011 GT500, wasn't even close. I have bolt-ons and a cam.
All they do is spin, it's not hard to beat one. If they have a good driver with some tires, then maybe you need to watch out. Don't they run low to mid 12s stock, not hard to beat that, especially on the street.

I don't know OP, if I can get one to man up and run me I'd tell you. I tried to get a douche to run me and he said I wasn't worth his time. I told him thats a stretch as I was doing him a favor to even consider his car worthy of a run. Bolt on pullied gt500's bring out the douche bags in people.

As some one said already he still will have the better car. Worth more and his engine will always handle more then what you have now less you do a swap with a built engine. GT500 engines have been know to handle 1000whp stock form. Also so the guy that spent 8k on his built civic that is faster then you must have the better car right...

With only a few grand in mods I walked a GT500, pretty pathetic if you ask me. Not to mention I have 115k miles on it.

This is SOOO True, when i worked at my local track i seen many, many cars come out and get beat by Hondas, rangers, or most anything, they think because they have a big HP car they will destroy everything, when they come in on street tites as Ohio stated, then launch at 7k and spin them selves into the gaurd rail and or a horrible loss. LOLOL

The better car? I'd hope his engine can handle more power. You're comparing a 55k-60k dollar car to a 28-32k dollar car. Let's not forget with 10 years ahead in technology.

i have a 12' gt500 and its quick on the street but theres always that neighborhood kid that pours his paycheck into his car and will rape you one night. its not hard to kill a gt500 if you have a decent amount of money to start out with. its more paying for a name and a car that not every highschooler has. no offense to the f body but it seems like every 15 year old and up in my area has one, its almost a requirement that once in your life own a f body. same with the mustang, but how many gt500's do you see rolling around every day compared to f bodys's and mustang gt's? and thats what your paying for. if you buy one only because you wanted a 500+hp car then your an idiot. a fox or z28 can hit 500+rwhp for FAR less money. just my 2 cents.

but on a more serious note just b/c u spend more money on the car doesnt make it the better car...what makes it the better car is the car you saw when you were a little kid dreamed off having one worked day in and day out for and you finally get it and you spend countless nights working on it in the cold and hot days too make it how you want it in the end you wont have a pro outlaw car but a car that is perfection in your eyes no one else's that my friend is what makes a car a better car..to you no one else

I'd love another F-body but I'm not sure if I could bring myself to do it because there are just so damn many of them around
