Default Shelby GT-500 V.S. C6

I was in my vette 2night at a local meet and a kid showed up in a new Gt-500 ive been waiting forever to run one and he agreed. We did a couple rolls a 50 and a 60. The 50 was kinda back n forth but he slightly pulled on me and teh 60 he got me by about a car. Im a lil dissapointed i guess but ohh well cant win em all first loss in the new car and it was to a stang

It's good for you, makes you want to buy more mods.

Nice death. It's definitely a respectable death too.

Your car traps 117 and he still pulled you? Doesn't sound like the GT500 was stock. Any idea on mods?

nice death. The GT500 had to have mods if you trapped 117.

Looks like its time for a cam or spray or maybe even both

Naa..Only Evan Smith got a stock Gt500 to trapp 117 mph in the 1/4..

everyone else trapps 112-115 mph..

Noway the guy was stock...

Spend 1500$$$ and have a decent size cam put in bringiong yo to 420 rwhp. You wont loose to him again till he spends more cash..

3250 pounds and 420 rwhp will be a good combo.

If he pulled you with you running those times, he ain't stock. Stock for stock the LS2 Vettes are about .1 quicker in the 1/4 than the so called 500 h.p. Shelbys.

A quick CAI and tune on a shelby will put it up to 530 rwhp. There was a guy I raced at the track with one from Lafayette. He was running a respectable 11.8@122 with just those mods on Nittos. I am definitely impressed with the cars.

You guys keep thinking the Shelbys are just a joke and slow in stock form. These cars are for real. Sigforty is right. They run mid 12s with a regular (non-professional) driver right off the floor and respond amazingly to mods, not the least of which is the terrible air intake arrangement Ford put on the car. Tires with a CAI and tune will get the car deep into the 11s.

Yep...it doesn't take much at all to put them in the 11's. They're somewhat disappointing out of the box due to the crappy factory tune (and weight), but that's easily fixed.
