Fixed for youThe owner said it was stock. It did not have drag radials on it. Think it had toyo tires on it.
Guess I should change the thread title now that I think of it.
Great runs, great channel, great car.

He would have probably ran 10.4@133 with a 1.58-1.63 60ft imo with the lid on.
From what I’ve deduced, the lid off helps above 7000rpm when the engine needs tons of oxygen but hurts at low speed when the engine needs the tighter smaller air tract to focus air in. At 10-40mph, that box is getting heavily pressurized and easily working as a ram air. By 7000rpm, it’s a slight limitation imo.
Engine goes from enjoying some air to get it accelerating quicker to being able to swallow maybe twice what that box holds above 7500rpm per second
Thats my thesis, I’m sticking with it
above 7500rpm per second

Sounds about right.Pretty sure Steeda ran a 10.7 in theirs at SGMP but I don’t know if it’s a base car or a CF car.
Edit - it was a CF car.

Ok, I'm bored cause I can't drive my ZR1 yet with the crappy local weather that we still have here in Toronto.
So SM with a non stock base car runs a 10.64@134mph, meanwhile go back a couple months and Tob's favorite youtuber (punchable face kid) in his 2 day old 1000 mile car (and it looks to be totally bone stock) was able to run 10.66@133mph (11mins into his video down below) somewhere in Texas on his way back to California driving the car home.
Once again SM with his car (going by what he mentioned in his video):
has Toyo R888R tires
AF lid off
removed rear seat (can't confirm the removal of pass. seat, can't see anything in video)
Meanwhile SP's car:
looks totally stock right down to the PS4S rear tires, running the wickers up front and Gurney flap in back (SM doesn't have those parts installed on Hulk). He has the front tires pumped up to 41psi and rears @ 24psi. On the last run I don't even see Austin flicking the right paddle to upshift it looks like totally auto mode and the car was doing the upshifts.
So a guy who claims that he has no knowledge on how to run a car down the dragstrip (SP) runs almost the same times totally stock as a guy that's lightly modded his car, what's wrong with this picture????
The difference may be the track (maybe that track SP ran is prepped better than Atco), the higher mph in Hulk's car is probably due to him not running the wickers and flap that was on SP's car. I've ran @ Atco and it's a pretty good track for prep, I'm not familiar with the track SP ran his 500.
However, when you check mag tests of this car they run low to mid 11's...………….WTF???? Is it that this car can only run a # at a track that has a prepped surface but everywhere else it falls flat???? Something doesn't jive or somebody is covering up something on what they did to their GT500 to run these mid 10 times.
