GT500 vs. GT500

[thapr3dat0r]

Me and my buddy. Both 2008 GT500s with pulley, intake and tune but my buddy also has 4.10s and an off-road X-pipe. Car in video is mine, camera car is my buddy's. 60-140 roll. He definitely pulled on me in the beginning but toward the end I was at his bumper and we were pretty dead even till we shut down. I have an off-road X-Pipe waiting to get installed and really want gears now.

I wouldn't do 4.10's or an O/R X, but I dont drive a GT500 either so? But I did have 4.10's in my 99 GT and I was over 3000rpms at 80 mph which made highway travel suck! My exhaust was loud so I could barely hear the radio or talk to anybody on the phone. I put an O/R X on my last cobra that had a SLP C/B and that came off within days, would have been off sooner, but I just didn't feel like getting under the car again. Save your money and put a whipple on that thing, your car will sound better and your buddy will never catch you!

I run 4.10s

Wouldn't go anything less. :rockon:

 

[joseph.devenney]

I guess its a little different with a 6 speed compared to a 5 speed. And the O/R X on my old cobra more than likely sounded awful because of the catback I was running.

I already have loud ass mufflers (Borla Stingers) so Im curious to see how it sounds with an o/r X-pipe. I really wanted an h-pipe but got a good deal on this x. Should be getting a beater soon so that'll help. I want the TVS blower so badly. I will get that eventually.

By buddy loves his. I'm prolly going with 3.73s tho.

Yeah they did!!

Your car is absolutely beautiful, BTW. I wanted that color scheme.

O/R X is gonna loud as hell with stingers! I have a catted x on my car now with stingers and its perfect.

Yeah, I bet. I really like the way my car sounds now, just want more volume and flow. I have a feeling I'm not gonna like the tone though.

you have the 3:31 stock right. I would have thought he would have constantly walked away from you. Wit the same mods and the O/R X pipe with gears he should have at least put a few cars on you.

Yep, stock 3.31s. I thought the same thing too, but after about 100mph he stopped pulling and I stayed with him. My car is better, I knew it epper:

 

[thapr3dat0r]

Were gonna do a 40 roll at my request. He agreed, apprehensively. How do you guys think that will turn out?

 

[tktlwyr]

I'm guessing that your friend's 3rd shift put him into 5th with the 4.10s? Remember, that is an overdrive gear and that seems where his pull stopped.

Yes, exactly. I believe that's what he said also, that he stopped pulling in 5th. That makes sense, great point.

differences between 6sp and 5sp are a HUGE..... in my Camaro in 6th @ 60 it was almost "lugging" - something like 1700 rpms with 4.10's. Mach not so much- It was just over 2grand @ 60 with the 5sp.

I think your the first person I seen say they hate SLP..... after having several different CB's to include SLP, Magnaflow, Flowbastards, and Cherry Bombs- I personally think Maggies are the best sound with SLP being a close second. Flowbastards are the worst for drone. Couldn't stand them.... but to each their own. What are you running now?
