Default Cloned GT500

So i was cruzing around and saw this red "GT500". He sees me behind him so he turns into the left turn lane (the pic). i follow. the light turns green, we go, as soon as he gets around the turn he floors it. I do the same, but by the time i got to almost50-60mph i was all over him. I shut down at 75 and he keep going. If it was a two lane road that we turn onto i would of had a pretty good chance of taking him.
anyways i rolled down the window at the light to hear his exhuast when he took off, it sounded like it had something. so i guess it wasn't real thought i would share

on the way home i saw an M6 he gave me a show [sm=gears.gif]that was sick... well for 100K it better be

what made it sounds like it wasn't real? looks like a damn good impression then.

Yea, I don't really understand the story, other than the fact that you felt like you would have kept up with it being the only reason you didn't think it was real.

There was a 05+ GT at the car show around here in the summer done up sort of like a GT500 before they came out. It was one hell of a sick looking car, especially from the rear.

I think he was blown and juiced.

Let's see if I can upload the picture.

Yea, if you were all over him, then it was one of two things:

1. A stock GT with a GT500 clone makeover
2. The guy was "afraid" to actually get on it.

Yea, after lookin at it more closely.........it looks like the genuine article.......not a clone. I'm guessing he just didn't use all the throttle. I'm about 35hp short of the GT500's bhp and even I don't like to go full throttle from a stop in congested areas. Trust me, its not pretty.

I knew it would'nt take long.I've even seen "boss" labels on GT's....Aftermarket body kits are big business..Allthough I have Cobra insignias on my rims thats as far as I would go...

Even if it was a regular GT with a body kit it still would've beaten the OP's new edge. I'm not saying it wasn't necessarily fake, I'm just saying he wasn't going hard, real or otherwise.

+1 looks to be legit to me. Its too bad there is no front shot . Thats a more difficult section to duplicate since the foglamps are'nt located on the grill.

It does look legit, It might be real but maybe he was playing with you.
