Can a bolt-on ONLY 2012 GT500 run low-mid 9's?

[Adiabatik]

Local guy who is pretty hush-hush about his mods. All he says is that it's a "bolt on only" '12 GT500.

Here he ran low-mid 10's on these runs (5500-6000ft. DA here, about a .50-.75 seconds slower here)

Car runs @ 2:00, 4:42, 8:26, and 8:49

El Paso has that high of a DA ?

He must have "bolted on" a bigger blower.

Says it's a bolt-on car but won't reveal mods? He's one of those 'lolz, blowers are put on with bolts. It's a bolt on car.' attention whores.

Around there. It jumps between 5-5500 during the winter to 6k+ during the scorching summers.

From the owner: "Nothing but bolt ons! Exhaust, shifter , pulley, tune, suspension. Sums up that whole car"

Is that even possible?

I'm not too familiar with 2012 aftermarket numbers, would that be around 550rwhp or so? That would take an absolute shitload of weight reduction to run low-mid 9s, especially without an auto.

Yea I'm sure it has a 13/14 tvs with a small pulley, takes over 700 wheel to run 9s in these heavy pigs... Or he has a 2.4 upper and a 15% lower headers, he'll of a tune, e85 maybe etc and the best drag susp ever to yank those times..

That's a bolt on in my book

Could b gutted with lots of suspension work and a little nitrous and its possible...

 

[90goldtsiawd]

GT500 ran great! Well setup car.

 

[klr16G]

my guess ported blower with a little spray in the mix???

 

[spitin venom]

I can see a 2011+ 5.0 running low to mid 9s with a tune and drag radials but not a bolt on GT500.

You can "bolt on" weight reduction, a bigger blower, fuel system mods for E85 and big/littles.

I don't see why not?

That little Honda is one fast bucket. Owner is also pretty cool too, which is rare.

 

[oldmodman]

I have no problem calling a car "bolt on only" as long as the engine has not been out of the car, stock pistons and cams and transmission are still in it.
Bigger blower, safe fuel system, and even gears are all "bolt on"

I can see a 2011+ 5.0 running low to mid 9s with a tune and drag radials but not a bolt on GT500.

Are you for realz

C'mon dude, get with the program. The 5.0 is in a league that a GT500 can't touch
