The GT500s are badass looking cars. Those cars looks good. But i dunno i got into it with one on the highway and it was pretty ugly for him. But once they start modding gotta watch out. NIce kill man

No sense in racing him, he can't drive but we have cars that you can line up against. We had plans of going to the east but Hooters took forever and by the time we got out of there it was too late so we just went to Bonnabel Boat Launch at the end of Bonnabel in Metaire. You should show up one night, we got some people that should be good for you. You have track times?

Yes the sticker on the GT500 says 42k but ask the dealer and they will tell you 70k. Believe me I was in the showroom and asked how much and was told 70k. I was at a dodge dealer last week and they had just had gotten a challenger SRT8 with a sticker of 42k and told me they were looking for 20k over sticker, and that was an auto the sticks don't come out til next year. For 70k you can pick up a brand new Z06 if you shop around and goodbye Mustang....

I was there today asked the finance manager and sales manager and both said there isn't any more mark up because they've been having trouble selling the cars.

Not too much racing goes on on tuesday but we do meet up at a place called Live Bait around 9 or 10p. Its in metaire at the corner of Old hammond HWY and Lake AVE if you wanna show up. You might be lucky if your looking for a race, I have fried who said hescoming out tomorrow and wants to run his Supra. IDK your HP numbers or 1/4 times but he does want to race someone.

Anything is possible, especially when you add the street factor into it. I suck at driving a manual. I turned a 10 second TA into a 13 second painful to watch ride. Ive gotten better and probably wold have turn at Low 12 Mid 13 but I had just learned to drive a manual.

If I hadnt done it too it would be tough to believe. Only differences on mine are an M6 with a good clutch and a catback.

Anything can happen. Hell i saw a '08 Viper run at the test and tune last wednesday. OMFG driver mod needed! Ran a 13.97@ 97.XX. Got beat by a stock LS1 in that race.

I admit, driver mod may be needed on the GT500 kid. But still.. I've missed third in my friends LS6-swapped GTO racing a Cobra (circa 2004, fully worked, headers, intake, exhaust, cam, plus the blower), and I still ran pretty even. EDIT: On second thought, this isn't that hard to believe. My 5-speed Mustang GT (2007, cat-back, cat delete, intake, tune, suspension mods) took this 16 year old kids GT500 from a dead stop, and from a roll. My GT was barely making 340 at the wheels. His was make around 480. So I suppose I can attest to the driver mod.

I was going to raise that point, Ronaele, but I dind't want to insult the OP's car-fu. Did the "GT500" you were racing have stripes? Side-stripes reading GT-500? Curved out front grill, like the open maw of a Cobra? Cobra badging? Rediculosly low chin spoiler?
