Gt500 Drag test...

[Cmarsh93z]

Did anyone see the drag test in MM&FF this month?? I think they got one of those 50K+ Shelbys to run a low 12 @ 117mph stock. Still going to get SMOKED by the new Z06, but not too bad. discuss ;)

Put a live axle in that sumbitch and I'll show you some mid 11's....

true...what does a Z06 run?

[Zinc_Stang]

Carlos got 10.98??? I know it had his intake on it that he designed, maybe a tune and supposedly had longtubes, stock exhaust. I think he was the first in 10's, close to stock.

In the Shelby? I think it does have a live axle.

Any mods and the bet is off. A pulley change on the GT-500 would be classifed "Close to Stock" but effects the car in many different ways.

Comparing a Mustang to a Vette is like Apples and Oranges.

Mustang weights 3900 pounds (The GT-500) vs a Z06 which weighs what? 3000 pounds?

A better comparison would be the Z06 vs the Ford GT. Hell last night on TV they were comparing the Ford GT Vs the Viper SRT10 (Ford GT Won 2 out of the 3 drag races)

[Zinc_Stang]

Yeah thats very true. Its really hard to compare. Based on price and looks I would take the vette.

[SVTVenom]

In the Shelby? I think it does have a live axle.

It does.

The best they got it to run was a 12.257 at 117.18 mph (2.11 60-foot).

That was with Evan J. Smith driving, powershifting 2nd and having to pedal it in 2nd because of no traction.

[grape]

i can't believe smith could only muster a 2.11 60ft, hell an old z06 on goodyears will 60 ft a touch below 2.0.

[SVTVenom]

i can't believe smith could only muster a 2.11 60ft, hell an old z06 on goodyears will 60 ft a touch below 2.0.

It wasn't from a lack of driving ability, its just that car has so much power and torque. Put some 18" D/R's on that car and it will be in the 11's with ease.

[AL P]

I'm not impressed.

[46Tbird]

I'm not impressed.How many dead stock 12.2/117 cars can you think of that weigh 4200lbs? Maybe an AMG-something?

That bitch would be brutal if they offer a stripper 3100lb version...

Very few cars can do that. If you thought the 03/04 Cobra stock intake was like it breathing through a staw, the stock intake on the GT500 is like a coffee stirrer.

[OMEGA DOOM]

[SVTVenom]

so, that means alot of room for improvement? which = more money! ;)

Well, think about it: 05/06/07 GT's usually are seeing 10-20rwhp from just a CAI and tune. Those are N/A 4.6 3V cars. This is a Supercharged 5.4 4V.

03/04 Cobras saw 20rwhp gains from a CAI and no tuning at all.

We may see a 30-40rwhp increase from just a CAI and tuning on this car.

I agree with danny on that.

[2cammer97]

I'm not impressed.

I know it's no Pants Shitting Fear, but still not too shabby. :)

It's too bad that they'll cost $50k+ instead of the $42k sticker it should cost.

Anyone think with pulley, exhaust, CAI, tune, and slicks they could be a 600 hp/10 second car? Or is that stretching it?

GT-500 alone says it is a modified car it isn't run of the mill assembly line NA car. It is a specially made custom car and more custom that the standard Z06.

You would have to use a Lingenfelter vs Shelby. lol

Just stiring the pot. But I will put a S/C with just 6PSI on my 4k GTO Judge then they should be close to price, weight, HP and we can run them.

[Phoenix383]

Vette = 3147
Cobra = 3896

Thats pretty major diff at any rate but they dont drive themselves so better add some driver weight to them both. ;)

And your askin someone else to run you thier motor to your juice lol Buy a leg to stand on son.

If you need a pa and still can get it done don't cry to momma hehe ;)

You wanna met at Kdale or something say Wed/Thursday?

[HobieF3]

Too much weight, too much money, only to be JUST a Mustang.

Mustangs are supposed to be pony cars, cheap fun cars. I never liked the Cobra R bullshit and I don't like this 4Klb pig.

I wouldn't pay over 50K (link of several with bids over 50K) for a new Mustang. No matter what it's got under the hood, it's still just a Mustang, still the same car 16 y/o HS cheerleaders drive.

http://search.ebay.com/GT500_W0QQfromZR40QQfsooZ2QQfsopZ3QQsbrsrtZd

These cars are going to be purchased by baby-boomers trying to relive a bygone era.

For the money I'd much rather have a better car.

Pretty much my point. I think the GTO is over priced some but then it is loaded with some nice luxry stuff. I was looking for some HP sport handling and enough back seat space to put my kids in they ain't small any more.

I happen to like the 06 with the new hood style and mine has a totally different rear spoiler and ground effects.

I hope you run low 8s Hatch.

[Phoenix383]

You still havent said what you have? For all he knows you have heads/cam.

Yes i did I said it was a stock GTO.

Pics of the day I bought it. I put larger tires on the ones from factory wer too narrow. 235 40 18 new ones are 245 40 18s straighter side walls looks a little better put my old tires on the wifes STS.

I wasn't the one started calling peoples cars turds and ugly either.

Your dad didnt beat your ass enough or teach you any kind of respect did he?

"If you don't have anything nice to say or at least constructive and useful then shut your fucking mouth." lol

Man I never miss the turd kids on this place that can't simply have a constructive conversation. All ya gotta say is you don't care for it. I like it and if you don't tough shit. at least my cars really are fast when I am done and they don't blow up and spend 2 years in the garage for every 10 minutes of run time. :eek:

Also you don't have to qoute the pics and make the post 10 miles long trim it up some. ;)

How many 16 year old HS cheerleaders drive Cobras or even GT's? None that I've seen. They are all 6 bangers.

Some people say a Mustang is a Mustang, but that isn't the case at all. The body shape is the same and thats about it.

Its not worth $50k+ but it is pretty close to being worth $42k sticker.

[Skidonenko]

true...what does a Z06 run?

I saw 2 stock with paper tags on one at ennins opulling high 11's @127mph, hell one guy smoked the shit out of his clutch and was still running 125 mph later in the night

[Vertnut]

A guy on LS1tech.com ran 11.31 bone stock (tires and all), and backed it up with 11.50. Later ran 11.20 with DR's only. It is his car, not a magazine queen that's been tweaked. That's after a 2 hour drive to the track...

[slow99]

hell motor trend pulled an 11.5 at 127 outta the new z.

[2cammer97]

People in here keeps talking about the new Z. Aren't those going for $75K? That's a heck of a lot more money than the new GT500, even with the mark up to $50k.

That totally kilks it for me.

[SVTVenom]

Well, an iron block weighs more than an aluminum block. They would have had to charge even more to justify the cost of using an aluminum block and didn't want to do that to the customer seeing has how its already at $42k for a coupe.

The M122 is bigger/heavier than the M112 that is on the 03/04 Cobra.

Also, the S197 platform is bigger than the SN95 platform so you are dealing with more car, hence more weight.

[SLOW 77]

I know about the platform and the block. To me the reason I would buy a Mustang has always been how light weight they where. When you start throwing around almost 2K of weight things are going to break, or wear out quickly. I just don't think this was the right idea with this car.

They need a stripper version and lose 500 pounds out of it and it will be on top of its game. Hopefully enough people will ask for one, and Ford will make one! I would even be game for one then.

[92Notch]

He's sponsor is Ford, but there is nothing Ford about that Funny Car he drives.i know this im just messing with him because you cant really say its powered by ford gm dodge what ever. its just powered by a big ass motor lol

You might be able to remove 100lbs by doing a rear seat delete, replace the front seats with lighter high-performance seats, and taking out the spare tire/jack.

Eric your car isn't stock by your definition either though - Doesn't a Judge have dealer installed exhaust and CAI? or maybe more? You have drag radials as well. Did you get the clutch replaced? (last time I saw you at the track it got smoked pretty good...

You have to look at how cars are built now, all the crash braces, plastic, sound/heat insulation. Now a days the majority of fords market wont settle for something that rattles, cant turn into an oven, or only has the bare minimum inside. They are geared more toward car/driver and motor trend readers.

< I would love a striped down modle

No it has the stock Air intake and stock cats, resonater back it does have borla muflers woot there 0 hP gain over the boners just sounds different. for highway I us 245 40 18 General ZRs I have some BFG DRs now yes 245 40 18s not even slicks but they do hook at the track pretty good. No the stock clutch is still in it and wil be until it fries. It only torched that one pass some but still works I just wont be doing any massive launches. It has Headers, Dyno tune, K&N filter now. I lost power with the headers and gain back some with a tune. I doubt the headers were worth it without some cam change. but i like the sound better. the Judge package is body BS I just wanted to have the name attached to it since thats what they labled it. Always been a GTO Judge fan but couldnt afford an original.

The Dyno tune gained a whole 14.5 hp and 10 ft lbs tq across the entire curve not a massive amount it went from 11.5 AF to 12.8 and from 22 degrress of timing to 27 total thats pretty much all but it runs 100% smoother than it did before tune. The extra avg mpg I am getting after the tune is worth it to me.

[Moose Jr]

I just have one question, why in the hell did they make it 3900#'s???

That totally kilks it for me.

The real question is...why didn't Ford just build a 427 to match the zo6? maybe get the weight down to 3300-3400 lbs. I know it still would not out run the ZO6 but hey, at least you could match it in cubic inches! :D

[Adam]

Thanks man. I know it aint the best looking hot rod around there are others I would rather have but all around it fits my needs and wants the best.
Whatever floats your boat.

[Phoenix383]

I agree that both Ford and GM have lost thier minds when it comes to making these cars weigh so much. with the technology of today and what they charge us anyways they could make them lighter and stronger for the same price if they really wanted to.

I also think ford should use a biger cube motor I never understood sticking with the small cubes it isnt because they get better gas mileage.

So you've got a 6.0 ls2 gto and You put down what? if you actually run mid-low 8's you'd be the first gto I've seen break 9.0x's( sad isn't it.).

[Super Coupe]

Ive seen one busting some low 8's on drag radials. I don't know his mods but it ran good but that first gear was killing him. It was trapping like 85 or 86mph.

I should rephrase that I've only seen auto gto's at the track. One was a 6.0 and one was a ls1 and neither of them Impressed me too much. But Like I said to each his own.

[ThreeFingerPete]

no offense adam, but your car doesnt really impress alot of people either.
ford wont put a 427 in the mustang because the obnoxious mod motor wont support the displacement, they would have to change alot of stuff. i like the gto for what it is, an awesome daily fun car that can run well. it is OBVIOUSLY not aimed towards the drag racer.

I never said my car was very impressive. But it sure did cost alot less than a Gto. As far as running good at the track I haven't seen a gto that impressed me thats not to say that they don't exist but I just haven't seen any. As far as being a nice daily driver, it probably is, it's just not my style. To each his own.

no offense adam, but your car doesnt really impress alot of people either.

what kinda cars are impressive to you?

Fast cars that are cheap(er) and/or fly under radar, or are an outstanding value of performance.


New ZO6 = Impressive, GT500= NOT impressive. Ferrari 360= NOT impressive, Porsche ...= Impressive, Cummins = Impressive, Powersmoke= NOT impressive. Do you see a trend? Cars that deliver more power, or the potential for more power or performance without absorbing 200% more money to do so than other cars in their class.

fords going to produce 8k per year of these cars...i wouldn't think that there are enough people to pay over sticker for more than a year...i figure that next year you'll be able to get a decent deal on one, which would make it a little nicer. then just ditch the rear seat, jack, spare, and anything else that's not necessary...and call forrest (he can take some weight out) :D

A Mustang is designed from the outset to be a low cost car. That’s why it’s not made of aluminum, magnesium and balsa wood like a Corvette. Too expensive. It strikes me as somewhat moronic to bash Ford for making the most powerful and best performing Mustang ever by complaining that it’s not as light as a fiberglass 2 seater. No shit.

Additionally the government, in its infinite wisdom, feels the need to protect all the dimwitted freeway racers from their own stupidity and has therefore mandated a series of ever tightening impact crash standards. As a consequence cars are getting heavier. When the Challenger and Camaro come to market they will weigh just as much as a regular Mustang (3500~3600 lbs). The era of the lightweight foxbody is gone. Get used to it.

Then why is this 500hp piece of shit 50,000$?

Well, if you look at what you can buy for 25,000$, a new GT, and then what you can buy for 50,000$, a new GT500, the main difference being a different motor, I'm having a little trouble giving a damn about why I'm supposed to be impressed, when for the same difference in money between those two mustangs, on top of the price of the GT500, you can drive a nice, ultralight, extremely good handling car, not just a 25,000$ car with a body kit and a powerful motor.

Well, we agree. If that car were 35,000$ like the 03/04 cobra, I'd be a little more inclined to give it some credit, but nearing the cost of a much superior car, with little more claim to fame than "xxx horzepowerz!" and Shelby's name on it isn't going to cut it for me. I hope everyone else loves their 50,000$ mustang.

Put me on the list of people who don't give two shits about the newest 'pony/muscle/teenage girl/boyracer/whatever' cars. I'm sorry, none of these fucking cars are worth the 40,000$ they are (or are going to) ask for them.

[blownragtop]

Then why is this 500hp piece of shit 50,000$?

Sticker price is in the low 40’s. ANYONE dumb enough to pay over sticker for ANY car is a FUCKING RETARD and deserves their fate. Is it worth $40,000? Maybe, maybe not.


I hope everyone else loves their 50,000$ mustang.

Personally I hope it bombs - kinda like the GTO – and when the vultures start circling I may be interested.

[ThreeFingerPete]

I hope it bombs aswell. *I* would have been interested in a GTO @ 26k, which was eventually what you could get one for, as opposed to 35k when they hit the lots.

[blownragtop]

Hopefully the old geezer’s name doesn’t bring in too many gold chain wearing douche bags.

I saw GTO’s go for less than 24. For that price it was tempting.

[ThreeFingerPete]

Hopefully the old geezer’s name doesn’t bring in too many gold chain wearing douche bags.

Hope in one hand, and shit in the other... You know good and damned well that they will be out in droves to snatch these up, gold nugget rings displayed arrogantly on all fingers.

So you've got a 6.0 ls2 gto and You put down what? if you actually run mid-low 8's you'd be the first gto I've seen break 9.0x's( sad isn't it.).

Yes mine ran 8.84@81 with factory goodrich radials I put the headers, K&N and 245 40 18 BFG DRs on and it ran 8.73@82 smoken the tires through first and part of 2nd no burnout test pass to see at 14.5 psi in the tires 2.06 60'. Did a good burn out it hooked but the clutch just wouldn't hold the wieght of the car plus the decent tq.

We will see how she runs with the tuning. added 5 degrees of timing and pulled out 1.3 AF from 11.5 to 12.8 WOT.

[302_plus_a_few]

[dan03mach]

Pick me Pick me :D

BTW that GTO is a very nice car, it runs pretty good too from the what I saw last but he did make the mistake in calling me out... To bad the track got messed up and that race never happened, it would have been ugly for someone.. ;) Adam you should run him with out your bottle at the track, I think it might be a good run..

[32VfromHell]

im personally more interested in a new Boss or Mach1. a great car, without the shelby hype that drives up the price and corporate greed.

[Phoenix383]

:eek: That's weaker than minnow piss!

LOL didn't you need a turbo to get your out of the 10s? :p

LOL yeah it woulda been ugly but you were on the list in fron tof the guys I actually wanted to run be nice if you would move up out of my way.

[302_plus_a_few]

LOL didn't you need a turbo to get your out of the 10s? :pNah, I ran some 8.40s at close to 85mph before the turbo went on (low compression 306ci with a turbo cam in it). That was on the stock pony wheels and wore out, stock size Goodyears all the way around. Don't hate on the Mustangs cause you got suckered into buying a slow pig GM product. :p

[dan03mach]

LOL yeah it woulda been ugly but you were on the list in fron tof the guys I actually wanted to run be nice if you would move up out of my way.
Once I can get out on the weekends I'll be moving on up in that list that for sure.. ;) So you can run the slower people that are in front of me..

[slownbmta]

Where do you sign up for these lists :confused: :D

phoenix383, i've got a 100 right here says you can't bust denny's slow ass shit, you down?
