My Bro-in-Law's '07 GT500

[Hughes412]

Looks like a rental car with racing stripes

A bad ass rental car though.

 

[Dimitrios]

That beast was 60 large to drive off the lot. MSRP is 48 i think, but to guarantee that he got it, he had to overpay.

Jeebus, I hope he doesn't make assinine money decisions like that frequently.

 

[BOOSTR]

Maybe the guy has enough money not to worry about such things. Someone earning an above average income is not going to worry about what something cost.

(werd) it is fast...

 

[Donas64]

I'd rather have a GTO.

I'd rather have a GTO.

I'm with you on that.

 

[hotass6gt]

I'm in for the vid...

+1 about the GTO...but I'll take mine with the Holden TT setup

 

[mspdfreak]

I'd rather have a GTO.

God, why? I mean, I know it's fast and all, but it looks like a Gran Prix with 2 slots in the hood.

Eh, doesn't matter now...it's being dropped from GM.

I'm with you on this one. The GT500 looks way better then the GTO and the numbers will (should) be better too.

I fixed it just for you buddy... Sorry bout that was in a bad mood and on the prowl for anyone that wanted to say something smart.

 

[Gaboost]

Nice, gotta pay to have the first one around I guess. Get that engine out of the fat mustang and into my miata, now that would be more to my liking.

 

[nate0123]

I fixed it just for you buddy... Have a nice ******* day...

looks great

and no, it wasn't my computer making it look bad, the images weren't resampled for the different zooms, they were just sorta rescaled on the fly, making them look even worse

that's why they looked all pixelly

but thanks

Well, Well, Well... We went to the drag strip last night. I have to say I was not impressed. I was so unimpressed that I left after his first few runs. His best time was 13.22, actually 4 seconds slower than the '06 GT that he had before. What a waste of money, I think. My niece took some videos of him running, but we don't know where the computer cables are, so give me a few days to round something up to get them on the computer. later guys and gals.

What was the problem? I think traction could be a limiting factor. He might need drag radials to get power to the ground. Traction control could have been on too. Maybe the computer was being overly protective of the engine. That car should deff be faster then a GT.

ok so the last gen cobra was just as fast with 110 less hp that doesn't add up. i wanna see what they put out on a dyno. i just looked at the july issue of motortrend and the ran a 12.7

Damn Nate. You are the man. Like I said I am sorry bout the comment I made earlier. Umm. I meant to say .04 seconds faster. Man, what would I do without you guys. His best with the GT waqs 13.18. He did have trouble getting traction for the first few runs, but I don't see what the problem is. His GT was stock except for the supercharger. And the Cobra is stock with wider tires. Maybe the fact that ever time he presses the gas pedal to rev over 5k roms, he like, theres another thousand off the resale price. I don't know man. All, I know is that one day, I am gonna have a car that beats his ass. But I am pretty sure its not gonna be the P5 that I have now. Maybe a hyped up MSP or a MS3, I dunno. Well, take care guys.

The '07 Shelby Cobra under average atmosphere, pushes out 503 HP @ the wheels. Not much more than a supercharged GT @ 496.
