my car only did 13.6 107 in bakersfield it was 110 that day does that make car slower

I guess the point you are trying to make is that we are better of buying a talon and making it run 10's and still have money left over? Well in some people minds that is a POS.

W3RD!

:lol: :lol:

Will wonders never cease...How on earth did he trap higher with ET Streets than he did with the stock tires? I thought due to the increased rolling resistance Streets/Slicks provide you always lost trap speed? :rollseyes

In all seriousness, nice runs;-)

With traction you ALWAYS get less trap speed.....:rolling: LOL

 

[BLK93GT]

W3RD!

:lol: :lol:

You would have alot of $$ left over to have a DOZEN spare trannies and other parts after you break something every other pass....:kaboom:

Every OTHER?!!? Jeeze, I never would have thought you could get more than one pass per tranny?!?! oke:

Only when you don't have alot of power. If you spin the 1st 2 gears on street tires your trap is going to suffer too. Put street tires on a top fuel car and see what happens. ;-)

My prediction:

He rolls into the burnout box, blips the throttle and BOOM! They spontaneously combust.:lol1:

Damn 2-slow, I read that and I laughed my ass off!! :lol: I thought you were going to have the Talon tranny in the above quote?!? epper:

Then I get to the post and you're talking about the tires!?!?

What a let down! :cryying:

;-) oke:

Sorry I let you down! I'll try harder. :beer:
Damn that would have been good though.

 

[dgussin1]

heavily modded talon's are badass drag cars though...

 

[JEllis]

Could the GT500 have been better... yes... okay now thats out of the way...

Great times man.. love it... love it....LOVE IT

To confirm blk93GT's point I did trap higher when my 60' was higher due to wheel spin here is another of my runs the same day.

1.870/7.841/12.161/118.025

I have always prefered to be quick rather than fast.

i have a dumb question. is speed calculated at the track by how fast the wheels are spinning or actual time and distance a car is moving?

inside of the car i know it registers from calculations on how fast the wheels are spinning.

 

[MD03SVT]

Speed is calculated by time over distance 66'.

what the hell are you talking about? you are in the wrong thread. this guy pulls off a good time in a stock gt500 vert and the only thing you can say is what a waste of money?

lets talk about his 12.5 time at 116 for a stock vert rear wheel drive vehicle. where else can you find that for any amount of money. lets talk about taking that same vehicle out and compete with a stock 997 cab or stock c6 vert out on a road course. did i miss a stock vert that can compete with these cars that cost under 50k?

how much have you spent on your car through the years? yes it is still worthless.epper: :beer:

+1 I think he was lost.........
Awesome numbers on the GT500epper: epper: epper: epper:

:

I have to disagree, I think the C6 will own it on the road course and so will the 997. the high hp and torque + heavy weight + small tires = hard to drive on road course. I would take the C6 anyday with equal drivers. Stock C6's have run mid/low 12's on stock tires which is all we can say for the Shelby in the real world at this point. When you get on the road course the weight takes it's toll on every turn, not just getting the car going

No doubt about that. Weight takes a toll on rotors, brake pads, tires, etc. in a huge way. The Shelby might turn a few good laps..but extended 20 minute+ sessions would not be pretty

Oh yea, I know that. Usually with slicks you are going to trap less and get better times vs. street tires depending on the amount of traction loss. I ran a 13.2@108 with a 2.1 60 ft in my 93 GT..then with a 1.90 60ft I ran a 12.77@111 ...picking up MPH and running a better time. I'm sure with slicks I could have ran an easy 12.5 or better..but dropped to 110 mph or possibly lower. In all the cars I have raced at the track over the past 10-12 years, if it spun in 2nd gear...or after I was past the 60ft mark..I LOST speed. If it was already hooking pretty good in the 60ft to begin with and no spin into 2nd..the better the 60ft I got the lower the trap speed was.

i said compete not win. i have not seen a test between the 997 cab and c6 vert on the track. i have seen the a comparison in coupe form on the track between these two cars. in that test the c6 turned better lap times consistently, though the porsche competed.
based on this information and bruce's info(an accomplished road racer/instructor) that the gt500 will out preform the 2000r out on the track in stock form i made my statement. are you saying bluestreak that the stock 2000r can not compete with the 997 coupe and c6 today?

yes after a number of laps, the motor and brakes would not allow the gt500 to turn competitive times anymore. i am not disputing this. i am saying the gt500 will compete for best lap time in comparison to the stock 997, c6, and 2000r mustang svt.
