I think you can hardly classify what ford puts out as "crap"... I agree that mustang GT's aren't going to keep up with a LS1 f-body, but nor was it their intention....
a terminator will hand you your ***, like it or not.... So what makes you think you will keep up with an even faster GT500?

as much as it hurts me to side with the mustang guys, you're getting yourself in tooo far over your head by thinking you can start to take on snakes... atleast ones with a somewhat decent driver

Actually, I'd say 80% of stock Gt500 owners would be happy to get low 13's. Many can't drive their way outta a taco bell. A stock GT500 with all the nannies on and on the street, from a dig, has as much chance of beating a forth gen f-body as the f-body has of beating it. At the track, with nannies off, the GT500 get's the nod, but only with a more experienced driver. Yes, the Gt500s are mid 12's cars stock, but thats not what the everyday driver gets out of them. Even the "best" mustang test driver ,Evan Smith, only pulled a 12.28 outta one, and that was after many tries and many mid range 12's, and it was a one time 12.28, not consistant. The GT500 is not the world beater Ford would have liked everyone to think it is,nor will be the KR(605bhp, 12.5 sec. magazine test..lol). Anyways, had the OP said he bested an early 2000's (03ish) Cobra, I'd probally say BS, but being a 427R, I'd say it's more than possible. The 427's are a bit slower than the GT500.

even so, i race a new gt500 and get smoked, big deal, i guess then its time to mod my car,
im not on here saying that my car is faster than a gt500, hardly, im cocky but not stupid, i'm simply saying that i want to race one on the street, and beat it, i think its possible, from driver error or what have you, isnt that what racing is about anyways? who;s the better driver, i know hp advantage will help, i got a tall order stacked up against me, but i think i can do it

I don't find the OPs story unbelievable. I am not impressed with the 427. We ran one not to long ago in my buddies Terminator and pulled over full car on it. (35-110) He was stock at the time.
Good luck with the GT500 though.
