Depends on the boosted GT. For a grand you can get brenspeeds package that adds 100hp to the crank. That's great but a boosted GT with 450-500whp is going to beat that car.

Mid 12s with just bolt ons? That must be one hell of a driver... or are you considering cams bolt on?

Riptide

Gears, CAI/tune, LT headers, CMDP, UDP, and tires.

Mid 12s.

I don't want to get into a war here...
TJ will know better than I do.

I think some members have done it (OK maybe with $1500) and they get a little shy of 600whp.
That's bye bye GT, but it's actually the torque that gets you.

They must of had one off those bowtie boys driving the gt500, with a golf ball under the gas pedal.

Car and Driver seems to always run slower times than other reviewers. Not sure why though. Maybe their test track is up in the mountains?

Could you still put it sideways like I did mine the other day?

Guys, guys, guys! Forget these pathetic high 12's for the GT500. It's a heavy car with a pathetic factory tune. It's a tune, pulley and to a greater extent, blower away from crushing almost any takers. Anyone driving a gt500 in stock form needs to be slapped. A pulley and tune should be mandatory.

Has anyone ever heard of an engine failure with the stock blower on a mildly modified gt500? I just might throw a shot of nitrous at it if I had one.

You forgot perfect conditions, sea level track and the luck of the irish. I know anythings possible, but you should know it's not that easy. That's also power shifting every gear with a manual car. I think it would be much easier to do with a auto, consistently.

Plenty of guys out there running 13 flat with those mods.
