good run, looks like the shelby needs about 760rwhp to be able to hold of the H/C Z06 :beer:
The Shelby starts at $54k. If you wanna call it $20,000 more instead of $30,000 my point still stands. oke:Z06 isn't 30k more. A 13 GT500 is around 61-62k, a 13 Z06 is around 77-78k
I don't know about that. The Shelby is geared and it hit harder from the hit leaving the Z06 to play catchup. Had the Shelby had stock gearing, it would have hit softer, so I'm thinking it would have been a close run, but it wouldn't have been a steady pull. I don't see the Shelby coming around the Z at 200mph either.
It's amazing that you are the only person that mentioned that. Stock gears and the car wouldn't be anywhere near as quick off the hit. It's not a damn turbo car, it's faster because the gears. Sure it would have been in gear longer starting at a lower rpm and would not have started out front.
Sounds like a plan, but this time I am not taking the trip down there. Maybe you and the GTR guys can come up and visit this time. :beer:
How do you think PDV or TRC's car would do against that GT500?

568whp N/A is freaking sick!
on v-box we are about dead even and actually my car is a tick faster 60-130 but not worth mentioning. However, I want to race from a dig drag radial to drag radial and see what happens? I will hold off on the lower pulley until then because it will be game over for the vette!:burn:
Just want to make sure everyone knows the shelby could have rung out 4th a little more to prove its point. Despite the 3.73s that tr6060 is not a close ratio trans by any means.
With the 2.66 magnum, shelbys stock tire height of 27.85 inches (285/35/20) and 7000rpm rev limit you are at 155mph in 4th. Even if you dont want to go all the way to redline you still get 144 at 6500. So maybe the GT 500 driver has some smaller tires or is playing it safe with rpms?
Shelby short shifted to 5th and stayed on the gas momentarily as the vette was screaming to the top of 4th. Lets not make it out like the Zo6 is that much faster in the top end.
Someone on this site please explain to me... Old terminators useally needed 100-110ish more rwhp to edge a c6.. A 13 cobra needs 160+ish rwhp more to edge a c6? Granite it can reach higher hp levels with minor mods but can you say dyno queen much? One would think Shelby would made the cobra more impressive than this..
man, thats hands down the best car GM has ever produced.
You don't need astronomical HP numbers or mod list and its even N/A.
