And for those that speculate the car has an intake and tune, don't you mean pulley and tune? The car is a supercharged...an iron block version of the Ford GT 5.4 powerplant...
Just keeping facts straight.

Thanks for keeping the facts straight.
Do you hear a lot of whine from Stock GT 500's. I ask because this gt 500 was whining like a SOB. When he downshifted I still had my window down and could hear the supercharger rapidly making BOOST and a very noticable WHINE like most pullied cars do. Just asking because I don't have much experience with the Gt 500's. 04 Cobra, maybe you can help. Stock whine volume VS pullied whine volume ??

Little does he know that I was making 490 rwhp 445 rwtq out of an N/A 346 h/c car by LG Motorsports. At the top of 3rd gear he was about 1/2 a car back. Then from 115-140 I pulled an additional 1 1/2 cars on him. Like I said before had we went into 5th I'd have disappeared on him. Louis and company at LG Motorsports really did a great job on the car. I think she is far stronger up top then on the bottom. Seems to run better above 100 mph then it does below 100. I don't know how to explain that other then the way the car feels. She pulls hard to 100 and pulls harder above 100, especially in 5th gear above 145 mph. Maybe there is something to the VaraRam CAI.

I want one, but not with the dealer addendums...I had first shot at a white with blue stripes car at my dealership. Window was mid 40K as I recall...they said I could have it for 70K...NO THANK YOU. When/if the prices get back to suggested retail, I'll buy one and immediately bolt on a KB, tune and some good tires. I think it would make for a poor man's GT...kinda.
edit:The wine is especially loud when your window is down and his front bumper is at your door or behind it (you in front).

04 cobra, I am going to bet he was pullied and tuned because my car is a lot quicker then the 12.3 1/4 suggests. That was with limited traction. From an 80 roll I had all the traction in the world. To have several hundred lbs weight adv and 40 + rwhp adv plus aerodynamics I should have been more then 2 cars ahead. JMO but he had something done to hang like that.

Pullied and tuned for sure.

If I owned a GT500 and had pulleyed the car with a tune and couldn't run better than a stock GT500, I'd give up driving or smack the tuner.
But, i will give you credit. You killed the GT500 and it was a good kill. You have a very fast car...especially up top.

Seriously though, the blower noise is not loud at all from the seat when just driving around normally. I've had the opportunity to drive and ride in a GT500 and didn't think it was bad.
Edit: Probably a little louder than my 06S281E.

**** it, put a hairdryer on the vette and walk ******** such as this one, people who lose like bitches tend to be just that, he's pissed b/c he spent all that cash on a ride with enough ***** for lightly modded rides. im sure he thought hed spank that vettes *** hardcore, and im sure the vette looks semi stock, and when it turned out differently he hated the balance in his account after spending money on his ride.

Well, this guy sure isn't a Prime example of a "good driver".....but he traps 109 bone stock, and a best of 119 with CAI, pulley, tune, colder plugs, and cat delete.
