From what I have seen, unmodded GT-500s are too slow for what they are (500hp super car). They are too heavy and the tires are too skinny. Here at the track I have seen two different gt-500s run. Neither was faster than 13.5. One had nittos aired down to 20psi too. The track has a 3075ft altitude though. My STS Camaro @ 8psi and 3775lbs went 12.0 @ 120 with a crappy 2.0 60ft time the same night that one gt-500 was running mid 13s in the low teens. I am not saying it isn't a great car, just too slow in stock form. These things are begging to be modded, then watch out everyone.

once you got going you were gone. as you said he hit it before you so that explains why you didnt pull away as quickly as you should have.

MMFF got 12.2 with Evan Smith driving. He said the car needed 4.10s and it was an 11 sec car on the stock tires.http://www.musclemustangfastfords.co...rformance.html

5.0 mag recently got 11.20s with bolt-ons and later 10.70s with sticky tires (Feb issue).

The cars are no joke. They haul their weight pretty damn well. Original poster has a fast car.

On a serious note though nice kill and hey at least you got some kind of vid of the race as im sure there would have been some random doubters. Cant wait to see you run again during the daytime, should be a sick vid!
