[QUOTE="avatardt, post: 13422108, member: 16555"] I don't post often, but thought I would share this one. I own the 12 GT 5.0, my cousin from out of state owns the 08 GT500. He came up to visit for the weekend and brought his car and we thought we would run them. His GT500 is stock with 27k miles, and my 12 5.0(3.73 Brembo car) has long tube headers with high flow cats and a Lund tune 7k miles on it. After looking at each others car for a bit we get out on the highway to see how they would do. We get lined up in 3rd gear at 60(I could not get him to slow down any more on the highway), and just as we get ready to go my car goes in to limp mode... I am like WTF? As soon as he is 10 cars ahead of me the limp mode kicks off and my car is good again(never happened before, and has not happened since). We get off the highway and talk for a bit, turn around, get back on the highway and go. Once again starting in 3rd gear at 60, we go... all through 3rd we are even, and as soon as I hit 4th I start to pull hard on the GT500. I think I was maybe 2 cars ahead at the top of 4th. We do 3 runs, same results each time. We get off the highway and swap cars, I had not driven his yet, nor he mine. We do 3 more runs with me driving his car, first 2 my 5.0 beats his GT500 with him driving, but not by as much. 3rd run is even. Driver mod FTW... or at least a tie the 3rd time. We wrap it up and head back to the house and talk some more... I think he might have a pulley and tune next time we meet(I am just not going to tell him about the VMP blower I am getting next month) Was a good time. [/QUOTE]
