and now back on topic... The number these guys are running are probly going to be faster than most others will see..

Evo has a reputation for running at a track, with certain conditions, that make the car a bit faster than it would be at most places with similar mods...

Still its going to be one hell of a car.... Kinda looking forward to see how far people take the variable cam timing...

LOL @ the guy thinking you can forge the 5.0 for $500.

Yep. Then they put in an aftermarket replacement and turned in the following:

11.98 @ 117MPH with a 1.67 60ft
11.85 @ 117MPH with a 1.64 60ft
11.82 @ 118MPH with a 1.63 60ft

That's what I'm sayin. Right now, I honestly don't even see a real gearhead spending 15-20K more for the GT500. Imagine the wonders you could work on this 5.0 for half that. Of course.....I still haven't seen what the 2011 Shelby can do with that bit of weight reduction up front, so I'll hold off passing judgment just yet.

I'd spend a few more grand for a boss 302 model if it had a little more than an air filter or cheezy body kit. It will be sick if they come out with one.
