[VaporDude]

Here is a video of the 2013 Shelby at Nardo Italy going 200MPH.

Is it me or is the speedo blurred out so you can't actually see the speed?

 

[VaporDude]

No it's blurred. They do give you a good tach view. I wish they did give us a speedo view. You know what the Camaro guys are going to say.

Sure is, plus the video doesnt even show any evidence it went 200 mph. I'm not sure it didn't but where does it show it did?

 

[reason4treason]

full abs stops at 200 mph???

[reason4treason]

i'd like to see that based on entertainment value alone

5800 RPM = 188.6 MPH in fifth gear.
6220 RPM = 202.2 MPH in fifth gear.

5800 RPM = 188.6 MPH in fifth gear.
6220 RPM = 202.2 MPH in fifth gear.

So in reallity in 6th gear, it can go well above 200MPH.

 

[Snoopy49]

So in relativity in 6th gear, it can go well above 200MPH.

It would probably take 3 or more times the horse power to red line in sixth gear, but if you could, you would be going 350.5 MPH @ 7000 RPM.

200 MPH in sixth = 4000 RPM

I would love to see this car on the Bonneville salt flats to see what the top speed would actually be.

I'm surprised that no one has gone to Bonneville with a 2013 GT500.

I would love to see this car on the Bonneville salt flats to see what the top speed would actually be.

I'm going to guess that a 2013 GT500 would struggle hitting 200 mph at the Salt Flats. Takes quite a bit more HP to run on the salt.

 

[BlownAway03]

Not hating but it seems that for all realistic intents and purposes this car can't hit 200mph.

^^Don't bet on it.
