RE: 04 cobra to fast for gt500
Right... out of all the magazine tests ive seen.. ive seen anything from that low to 13's, haha... but the one thing in common was that the Terminator and the Shelbys were really within around .2 of eachother...

ok.. first off the Shelby is about 4000lbs without driver vs the Terminator at 3660 without driver... not close to 5000lbs.
The Shelby is around .2 faster stock to stock over the Terminator. If the Terminator had anything on it, he should've won if the Shelby was stock.

The verts are right at/over 4000 pounds. The shelby is about 200 pounds heavyer.
Stock for stock, the GT500 is a faster car so long as you can launch it. 118 MPH trap with a 12.6 is a terrible launch.

gt500s may have 500 bhp, but they also weigh near 5,000 lbs... a 04 cobra should have around 410-420 bhp (we all know ford underrated them @ 390) and weights 3500-3800 ish, weight has ALOT to do with it

i would say that GT500 is much faster on the street then on the track.

There is a big difference to of a car that goes mid 12s on a2.0 60' and one that does the same with a 2.2 + 60' as well. On the street, where traction is more limited (unlike a prepared surface) you would see how much more power the slower 60' time car acutally has.

From what I have seen I tend to agree. The GT500 just seems to have a hell of a time launching (makes since with a bad gear ratio and more wieght). A set of drag radials and some 3.73/4.10s would make a hell of a difference.

Whoever said the shelby weighs 5000Ibs was wrong by 1000.

60 lbs isn't well over, 2000...
The first thing people are doing to shelbys is putting in a 4.10 gear it looks like.... The reason why Evolution really got theres moving was the suspension and gearing...

The terminator is well over 3600 pounds before driver. Even the coupe is much closer to 3800 pounds.
The verts are right at/over 4000 pounds. The shelby is about 200 pounds heavyer.
