I'd rather have a 700rwhp M6 car if the car isn't ever going to see the strip and just be used as a Supra killa

Thats pretty good, I wonder what trans they are using, I was trying to listen to the vid to see how many gears but couldnt hear over the music.

Take your pick...AODE, C4, 'glide, 4R70w, etc.

I actually think the GT500's would be doing better at the 1/4 track on average if they had come with a well sorted auto tranny option from the factory. Launching such a heavy high hp PD blower car with a stick is just too much of a handful for most owners. Just look at the SRT8 Chargers/300s....making high 12 second passes with just 425hp and over 2 tons of curb weight. The Shelby is a low 12 second car that just can't get out of the hole very well in stock form. JMO

Here we go again with the $60K Mustang crap. Yes, with the dealer mark-up's that were added on, people were paying $60K to get into one of these cars, but that's not the price you need to refer to when looking at performance-to-dollar. MSRP is $42,500. I paid $46,700 for mine with satellite radio, navigation and a couple of other options.

With 500 miles on the odometer, mine put down 442whp/438rwtq on a local DynoJet and that translated to a 12.72@107mph at Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green on the stock Goodyear tires with a 2.012 60ft. I'm certainly not a great driver, but I'm not bad, either.

With addition of a Kenne Bell blower, upgraded TB and MAF and a set of 265/40-18 Mickey Thompson drag radials, the car ran a, 11.49@126mph at the same track this spring in 95 degree temps with a 1.92 60ft. This was with the 3.25 upper pulley making 13 lbs of boost. (5lbs more than stock).

With more seat time, a better 60ft and cooler air, I pretty sure it will go 10's with the exact same setup. For the record, the car made 618rwhp/565rwtq in this state. The car weighs 4050 with me in it and sports the stock 3.31 rear gears.

Enough with this thread already.
