So your point is? Most guys are running mid 12's with no catback or filter changes? WOW

i would be F'in embrassed to put that up on here...that's a good time for a mustang gt or an LT1 not the almighty GT500. maybe it just needs a driver swap cause from the pictures it looks like it got off the line good.

Yes it could be embarrasing, but this guy may still be getting used to the car. We don't know from the pics, how hard he drove it (may have granny shifted). Either way is 13's slow? Yes. We know how fast they can go with minimal mods and good driver though.

Avatar pic: is of an army chick that had her topless pix posted on the Internets

Shelby ET's: car is low mileage, I'm sure Marlon's still getting used to it, and I'm sure with practice he'll do better... all pix are from one run I just pointed at it and started shooting with the camera like a machine gun (I got a Canon 300D with a 70-200L zoom lense) some pix I didn't post because they're fuzzy like the rear shot of the car above. On other runs I think he did better but I was waiting in the staging lanes with my car during those times.

Uber low ET's: I asked Marlon if he was expecting 12's or 11's and he mentioned that so far the best run he's seen with a Shelby was a 12.4 so you're not guaranteed to go mid 12's out the door from the dealership.

I just liked to see it in action, there were over 100 other cars at the event, some did good others did OK.

Car looks really great. Good pics. Does not matter what he ran but that he ran and had a great time doing so. It takes gonads to take a new car to the track and run it. I saw a fellow take a brand new 93 GT one year with really low miles rub the guard rail at the Bristol dragway. Tell him nice job and car.
