Hey everyone, im looking for a little reassurance here. I'm hoping I am not missing something, but heres my situation. An "acquaintance" of mine told me the other day that his friend has a newer Shelby GT500, as his daily driver. Mind you, his family has money, but this is a kid, like maybe 20 or so. As if that wasnt hard enough to swallow, he proceeds to tell me that they had it out for a joy ride and that they had it to 130 in less than a quarter mile. SO, logic tells me, that means MORE than 130 in a full 1/4 mile. SO, that would mean this thing is running like 10's easy right? He swears its stock still, im calling B.S. Am i missing anything?

 

well he was probably talkin about from a roll on the highway... these run 12.6-12.9's stock...

 

Shouldn't a 440ish rwhp car go faster than 12.6-12.9 in the 1/4?

 

hmmm...i dont know

 

if u put drag radials on the rear there in the 11's

 

still not traps in the 130s tho right?

 

stock.... 130 trap?? Toss the BS card right at your friend ....

 

thats what i wanted to hear. Thank you.

 

Total BS on a stock GT500 but very realistic on a modded one with over 600+ hp

 

A stock gt500 usually traps in the 114-117 range and is capable of low 12's with good driving....high 11's with good driving and DR's
