Test n tune at PBIR the old Morroso track. Many times on Weds or Fri many people are just trying to figure out how to drive their cars down the track. Been quite a times I have seen cars there with paper tags. So not a surprise when you see people run bad times out there.

I love the new 5.0 gt's but they seem to be running alot slower in stock form then the outgoing 2011-2014 models :( is the weight killing the new 2015+ up that bad compared to the older coyote cars w.t.f I know this bad driver in the video but dam, the new ones are what 430-435hp bone stock, the outgoing models were 412 -420hp depending year form 2011-2012 was rated 412 2013-2014 was 420hp. hell the 2011-2012 cars bone stock were running 12.8-13.0 with a manual autos were running 12.6-12.8. the new ones even with more power that should even out the hp to weight diffrence, and all im seeing is 13's kind of slow for 430hp

My best kill in an Escalade was back in 2004 when a guy at the track kept saying how stupid it was to bring an Escalade to the track... Well guess who ended up next to me :-D

Don't forget that the 4 people in the Mustang were finishing their dinner before they started.

And they still had plenty of time to put the dishes away before beating the Caddy.

This would have been funnier if it had been the Caddy crushing a Hellcat.

Meh, the S550's are running almost as quick and will be a drivers race vs the last gen. Definitely high 12 sec 110-113mph cars. People running in the 13's can't drive and/or running in bad air. The fastest stock on stock tire is 12.5@113

The S550 GT's also seem to be running better with just a tune/tire and bolt ons than the previous gen.
I have had a 12 and 14 gt as well. My 15 GT definitely feels stronger than my 12 did when stock.
