ok guys so i was thinkin about the 2007-09 gt500 times and what i am supposed to run. Assuming i should run a 13 flat(and i should), the best times i have seen for a stock gt500 is 12.9 or so. Do i acctually have a chance of hanging with one in the 1/4? forgive me for any ingnorance i might have as i am really just looking at 1/4 times here. It just seems crazy to be even close to a gt500. By no means do i think i would win so do flame me please lol.
both with decent drivers as well. What do you guys think?

well thats the numbers i get when i look it up with the lowest bieng 12.6 for the 2010. Why do you think i am so surprised that i might be able to hang with one.!

I think Evan Smith ran a GT500 to 12.2 and a KR to 11.9 or something. Pretty good times for street tires. With a radial, or slick, they'd probably be a bit quicker. As far as my opinion on the car. I wouldn't buy one. I'd pick up a C6 and have a faster car in a straight line and still be able to drive it like a go cart if I wanted. That's my personal preference, of course.
I'm basing this off my my experience with my C5 vs my F-body's. The C5 is a whole nother world compared to my f-body's....I'm assuming it's similar with the heavy GT500's.
I think that its just too bad that the car performes like that... most people cant drive even close to evan smith. SO lets say most good drivers could get a 12.5-7(maybe) and a ok driver gets around a 12.9. i cant believe i put three grand into my car and i am close, i cant wait to run one just to see...hell i saw two today, to bad i wasent in my stang. Sorry for ranting i am shocked, still just cant believe it!

If only a C6 had a motor that can compare to a GT500 motor.
Yes, 12.9's out of a GT500 is horrible. They weigh about 3850 without a driver. I highly doubt an S197 GT, even Camming and with Heads would keep up with a stock one, as the power levels are too far apart, and at higher speeds, the GT500 will pull.
A C6 is nice, but you can only mod it so much before you need a new motor. The GT500 has a lot of things going for it, if you really like Drag racing. Two different cars that cannot be compared.

I love the GT500, but its a bad set-up off the showroom floor. The KR shows what just a little bit of suspension work can do for a car. The GT500 has a lot of weight up front, no way to really transfer it like a car with 500 hp should, and insufficient rear tires. I blame Ford. All that car needs is a set of DRs, and it will run low 12s, suspension and DRs, even faster. Go figure!

It's going to take a litte practice to get some decent times out of a GT500 when its putting down 400+ tq at 2k rpm on street tires. Guarantee with a 2010 GT500 and a lot of seat time, you can pull 11s out of it stock. 07-09s should be good for some low 12s. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a lot of people putting in sufficient seat time in one, completely stock. Think about how many GT owners put in seat time, you got a lot more opportunity to see full potential times out of a GT when compared to a GT500.
98 already pointed it out that its happened.
A stock GT500 should rape you. You said you "should" run 13.0, well an 07-09 GT500 "should" run low 12s, not so close. Real world vs internet world are vastly different.
