Good kill man!!! I have a buddy that just bought a 500. He just did a bolt ons deal at a local tuner and put down 540's to the wheels. He, like most guys that go out and buy expensive and fast cars, thinks higher of it than us simple guys with a realatively cheap car and tons of mods. I think when we race he is going to get the boat paddle/LOL
Good kill again brutha!

Nice ride I talked to a guy that just bought one( gt 500) at a car show and he was saying that it had 500+ hp it was a nice car but Like said befor those thing are running in the 13's stock so nothing to brag about for a 50,000 $ car give me a Vett any day then I'll put a cam and heads on it just incase the ford guy puts twin superchargers on it lol.

Here's an idea. Quit debating the ethics of doing mildly irresponsibly, but increadibly fun things, and congratulate him on an increadible kill. Also, stock GT500's are making TOPS 430rwhp.

Thanks.
If it wasn't the real thing it was an top of the line copy down to the badges. Based on that I'd say it was the real thing. I don't know about the 100rhwp difference though, if it's running 475+ rwhp on a mustang dyno that's Ford GT territory. Most of the dynos I've seen on them have been in the 415-430 range on a dynojet and 390-400 on a mustang dyno and my 375rwhp is on a Mustang dyno so it would be 400 or a little more on a dynojet. Similar HP and I weigh several hundred lbs. less, the distance seems reasonable from that aspect.

Good kill. Some guys here need a GT500 education. If you can't get a mid 12 out of the car on the stock tires, you shouldn't be buying a manual trans car. DRs = high 11s. Gears and DRs = 11.70.
Hard to find decent drivers these days.

Although, I love Corvettes I've always had a soft spot for Mustangs since I was a kid and would love to own a 67 fastback. I'm a car guy, not a badge *****.

I thought a GT500 and a C6 were almost identicle in a quarter mile race with the GT500 about 1mph faster. There is a review of these cars in Road and Track. Its the issue withe the new Z06, C6, GT500, and GT. So I think with OPs mods this sounds about right. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong though. Also...his 6 car lengths might be my 3 car lengths. Its really hard to tell exactly HOW many lengths you really put on a car.

You're also right about judging car lengths, it's hard to tell exactly how many during the day, at night it's almost impossible. Given the very flat road we were on and there was good light out I was able to judge it pretty well and I was probably 100 feet in front of him thus the 6-8 car length quote.
