I wouldnt pay any attention to what Motortrend says. Dont forget this is the same mag that says an sti will beat an 03/04 Cobra in the 1/4. This mag also timed an 01 GT vert to 15.1 in the 1/4.

Mags like Car and Driver and Motor Trend and one or two others have test drivers that must be 80 year old ladies. One of those mags, the best they could get out of the Shelby was a 12.9. MM@FF Evan Smith got a 12.25 out of one. I'm sure 11's would be just a tire swap away, or something very minor.

Yep. For 500hp, the shelby is a slow car IMO. 100 more hp and torque to match, its only a few tenths faster than an 03/04, and its selling for double the price. All because of stupid weight. Whats the point in putting a 500hp engine in a tank and calling it a fast car? 12.2's are alot faster than mine, but damn. With that power it *should* be in the 11's no prob.

if they are only mid 12 sec cars i'd love to run one at the track!!! that would really suck for a 80k car to be out run by a 20k car!

Somebody in another thread was saying he saw a couple GT 500's at the track and the guys driving them were running mid 13's and low 14's in them.

Its all because HP sells...people dont even ask what it weighs. When most people ask about your car they ask "how much HP does it have?"
Not "whats your power to weight ratio?" LOL

That was Hotrod magazine where the STi Beat the Cobra. But they said they have lots of trouble with traction, and that the trap speeds showed it.
And the 01 GT vert was an auto with the Mach 1000 right?
^I remember someone correcting me on this, but I can't recall.
if the shelby is anything like the terminator, then they are underrated from the factory, and a simple pulley swap, exhaust upgrade, gear swap, and retune will have it smokin pretty much anything, including the Z06. it'll be much easier/cheaper to mod these cars than a new LS7. add that to some slicks or even sticky street tires and the vette wont stand a chance. where did 80k come from? last i read, it was between 60k-70k?

They arent underrated due to the new scaling system. Its putting down about exactly what the Z06 vette is..that means a pullied terminator @ 440 would beat the GT500.
the GT500 will need to gain around 100RWHP to beat the Z06. As of right now its about as quick as a stock C6 vette...hehe even a 03 Z06 would give it an even run. Thats ashame, chevy is always outdoing Ford.
