poor shelby gt 500

So i finally got a chance to race my buddy in his 2010 Shelby gt 500 with a claimed 610hp. he wouldnt race me from a stop claiming it was unfair (AWD) so we did a roll on at 30mph which also turned out to be unfair haha. Needless to say it was embarasssing for him as the Typhoon was too much for the little horsey , the best part is that i had another friend following us to witness the race. It was akward eating wings later as i wanted to be that guy bragging it up, but I didnt. however i know who to tell at work he can do this for me LOL.

Is your Ty running quicker then 11.9 like your sig says . I would think that a gt 500 with 610 hp even if thats at the crank would be faster than a high 11's truck? Does your friend know how to drive his car? Anyways nice kill.

Re: poor shelby gt 500

thats my best time yes but i only got two passes out of the new tranny and rear diff was cooked. Sooooo then I listened to Nolan and had it rebuilt properly. I launched at 10 psi and spun for 60' and went left obviously diff was cooked. I know its quicker but was limited due to issues and have crappy low profile tires on. this year i have slicks a better tranny and diff and will launch at lower boost.

Re: poor shelby gt 500

he has grip issues thats why he wouldnt race from a light plus we are at 2200 ' elevation I have yet to be impreesed with a mustang on street tires. even nitto nt05's, show me one that can hook up and it may be a race.

Good point and good kill. You guys should both hit the strip, I would like to see the outcome since you will be running better tires and see your new times.

No doubt. The last time that Brent was at the track, I was in the burnout box behind him when he launched and Ican say that it was the most violent Syty launch that I have seen. He doesn't need more power, just traction and the ability to not shock the drivetrain into oblivion.

You have a link to a thread telling me what you have done to your Ty? There's a Shelby around here that needs to see the tail lights of a V6 SUV... I'd like to know more about what you did so I can fine tune the direction I'm going with mine!

3.5 is impressive i would just like to see one do it is all. I believe the speedo may say 60 but they are only moving at 20mph

:rotf:

Funny but you know that tests aren't taken from the cars gauges.

I raced a terminator back in 05 with full exhaust, tune, the infamous "pulley" and DR's. My ty was pretty much stock and at the end of the 1/4 he only had me by a car. Still lost but didn't see the big deal about terminators.

That's why they run the race right? What it says on paper doesn't really matter when they're on the pavement.

Re: poor shelby gt 500

I was thinking about this while getting ready for work this morning. How do they come up with that? My Ty does 0-60 in 3.8 and that's with AWD and no wheel spin with a 1.6 second 60'. How can a RWD 610hp car do better on street tires? Any chance they run those tests with tricks to the tires?
