Honestly it's fun. Lol

They sound amazing with minimal exhaust mods. (My catback' sole reason)

And they are really fun to drive hard. Once I tinted the windows the car is extremely comfortable the whole experience MAKES you want to be in it. One thing is the back seat is completely useless but that's with any of these cars so not really a deciding factor. I love my S550.

Most likely a low low 12 car at the track. My car would have the advantage at a track. Roll races dont equate to et at the track

Only 4 of them low 11. 2 of which with additional WR and or negative DA.

An FBO s550 is a mid 11 car on average.
Fbo s550 just went 11.1 @123 in summer heat at almost 3800lbs race weight. They are out there... not all are on the "list"

He's on crack if he thinks a fbo gt is only good for mid 11's. Lol

Ported Yote heads flow over 340. Not bad but can't mill the factory heads down to even gain a full point of compression..... without worrying about PTV. Sucks.

FBO GT is definitely a low low 11-high 10sec capable car full weight. Its the same as some of the stock 5.0s running low 13s... its all in the owner and how to drive it.

Some seem to think my car will run mid 11s if i went FBO.. Hmm.. ran 11.81 WITH cats and stock airbox so far... so if I add long tubes, GT350 intake manifold, the cat delete I have already done, PMAS cai I have already added, converter etc... I will knock off 3 tenths! Lol!! I don't like predicting what a car will or will not run... but I do know it will be faster than 11.5

That's where most of them are at. Especially without e85.

In -1000 DA they couldn't even hit tens. Not sure what's so funny about my statement. The average person in average conditions should expect mid 11s out of an FBO s550. Even worse without e.

Why waste your time with a supercharger if you want tens? Just buy a manifold and some headers. Lol... sure

Not one private owner has run tens yet bolt on s550.

I don't care about shop cars, stripped cars or cars on ftw. Completely meaningless.

Your track has proven to produce great results. Above the norm. I'm just talking averages. If not the 6gen is a mid 11 car with just a drag pack.

And yes would you just go FBO already instead of quoting hero runs? Guarantee you will NEVER touch tens aside from ridiculous DA, ftw or additional WR.

I agree with ultra, I find it hard to believe a full weight s550 or even the previous model goes 10,s Bolt on. Not saying some haven't done it. But full weight? Spare jack and all? I have seen a lot of coyotes go down the track here and honestly the fast ones struggle to get into the 11's fbo
I have seen a couple in the 10's but they were unloaded off a trailer with a slick, open headers and most likely race fuel. No plates on the car

At my track the Bros need a 100 to 150 jet to run mid to low 11s with drag pak and bolt ons.

Where is there a full weight coyote in the 10s?? Even with ftw fuel I don't really see it happening. Mid 11s is very accurate for 99% of people

Well duh, man how does a h/c ls1 f-body do it? You need some weight reduction and good parts/tuning.

Best I've seen out of an FBO br0 is lower 12's. Lower 11's @ 122 with a 100 shot

I don't consider a car that has to be destroyed and or run on 30 gal fuel a realistic bolt on car of which to compare others to in this conversation.

My plan was always 8psi skreet pulley and 10psi race pulley. Hopefully it works out for him. If he went vmp tvs he should just keep his stock stall. Issue with that would be him driving in winter.
