My GT-500 stock did'nt put up impressive numbers, at the Dyno it was 450rwhp. With that being said after the Cai+2.6 pulley+new plugs+and dyno tune with a 91 and 100octane tune it's putting down 560rwhp on the 91 octane tune, oh I also put in the AFCO Dual pass heat exchanger. The car really comes de-tuned from the factory, mike at silverstate motorsports does all my work. I have some suspension mods I am doing next to help hook up better, so far I have walked a boxster and cayman from a roll at 40mph, they actually pulled me by about 1 car length at the start, but after it hooks up in 3rd gear it was noteven close, I stopped at 130 with about 7 car lengths.
not impressive...hmmm....to me that defies the laws of physics cause that is only a 10% loss from the engine to the wheels

I have heard that they can be beat with about 420rwhp in our cars if they are stock (this is not taking many other variables into consideration)

Ya, last time i was at the track, there where 4 guys w/ them. 1 stock, 1 stock on dr. one w/ bolt ons, and one w/ more bolt ons

the bone stock ran a 12.6 w/ 2.0 60ft best, the stock one w/ dr ran 11.8 the bolt on ran a high 10 and the one w/ more bolt ons(pulley,intake,full exhuast, headers) ran a low 10.

So just by adding dr tiresw/ a good driver makes it a high 11 sec car.

thats rediculous... can our stock internals hold up to more power than a GT500? or are they the same?

The stock internals in a GT500 are already forged, so they can take ALOT more power.

Thats not what he was asking I don't think. I think he was asking if our stock internals can take more power than the GT500's initial 500bhp and the answer is yes. Our stock internals can take more than 500bhp. Correct me if this was not what you were asking

It depends on if the guy with the GT500 can drive. I ran against one twice at the track earlier this year and beat it by 4 tenths both times. The guy just couldn't figure out how to launch it. I asked him if he wanted me to show him how it's done and he told me to "f*ck off". That was a fun day!
just because you can launch your car doesn't mean you can launch his car. he got insant torque going to the wheels. it would be night and day difference between to launchbolts on GT and a blown GT500.

to OP. you can beat a GT500 if you get blown.
