Default Has anyone heard of or seen this yet?

Hey all. Ok, Im at work tonite and my buddy comes up to me and tells me about this link to a video he saw on an SRT forum of a new shelby running a 9 sec. quarter mile and supposedly all it has done is intake, exhaust, pulley, 75 shot and a tune and somehow it is running 9's. Im gonna have to call b.s. on this one and I know people are gonna say well look at the time tho. But I think there has got to be more done than just that to be running 9's. What does everyone else think? I will get the link a.s.a.p..

No, this is TRUE! I'm sure it HAD to have a tune also though. There's no way it didn't have a tune. The tune on Terminators and GT500's are crucial when pulleying it and/or running nitrous. I believe the car belongs to a shop called Evolution Performance. I think they had the first GT500 in the 11's, 10's, and now 9's. I know they have videos up of it. I've seen a few. I'll look for it and post a link.

Did you not watch the video of the link I posted? The car didn't have long tubes or exhaust or a ported blower or drag suspension. Watch the video.

Thats pretty insane.

Especialy considering those GT500's aren't very impressive stock, since they are so heavy.

I read an article in the Febuary issue of Hot Rod magazine that Evolution Performance took a new GT500 and was consistantly running 9.50's. They pretty much did little bolt ons, suspension mods, and did not use nitrous.

Of course, It lost at least 3 pounds of aluminum when they ported the blower
