Your car looks great and i applaud you for having the courage to take your car to the track right away and post a video of the results. I have to admit that your bog had me cracking up b/c I could see myself doing the same thing:D Not too shabby on your 2nd try though! Keep the video's coming. How are you liking those H&R's? Were they designed specifically for the GT500 or are they GT springs?

That's one sick car you got there! I love the stance of it. Pretty damn good track #'s also. It kind of makes me want to sell my 04, but quite frankly my wife would shit!!!! I would still love to sell it to get one and I'm sure sooner or later I will.(hopefully sooner) Good luck with the car in the future and talk to you in here again sometime!

tires are nitto drag radials 305/35/18

i thought the trap of 112 was alittle low too, but not sure why the E.T. was there so i am not too worried, i will see what it will dyno this weekend.

the springs are the super sports and they are the same part # as the gt springs, it was supposed to give me right at 2 inches all the way around but since the shelby is heavier in the front i got 2.5, it is alittle too low for me so H&R is sending me out a set of race springs for the front. although i have no rubbing issues with them even from a 50 mph dead stop, now i am getting just alittle bit of bounce so hopefully the race springs will solve that for me.

what are you launching at? md03svt had a lower trap speed too the first time out with et streets. he then upped his rpms at launch and his trap speed went up significantly. i sure it can put up a 117 with a little fine tuning on the launch.:D


great looking car by the way.
