I don't think one person questioned that. We agree.
So with that out of the way, is a Bolt on 11/12 GT500 comfortably in the 11's?

It ought to be. Premi brought up a good point on the 11/12 cars vs what I had 07-09. 11/12 could be had with factory 3.73s and the obvious weight savings of 100 lbs over the nose.
The gears are critical IMO.
With a decent driver I don't know why an 11/12 car wouldn't go 11s with your first 3 bolt ons (pulley, CAI, tune) assuming it already has gears.
I couldn't do it in my 07, but I only ran it at the track for one event in that configuration. It got a TVS shortly after that.
Hell just get rid of the shitty factory goodyears and I bet it good driver could get one into the high 11s stock, simple bolt-ons with drag radial, no doubt that would be a solid 11 second car.
The gears are a must, even more so on 13/14 Gt500s, the gear ratios are spread even further in that box.
Right, and that was my only point bro lol.
Who was arguing against that? I must have missed that part.
If I was into throwing money out the window on new cars id have a 6spd pp2 and leave it boneblower stock and run it hard. Theres one sitting on my local lot completely ignored for the last 2 months.
Post #88 ,Kevin said 11/12 GT500 STRUGGLE to get into 11's, while A10 2018s do it with ease.
My buddy recently picked up a lightning blue pp2 car, it's a fun car, even boneblower stock
I was amazed it how hard it pulled with factory tune set to track mode, it felt like a tuned 11-14GT with basic bolt-ons.
Hmmm. It's definitely easier with the new auto car... coming from a guy who's done it with both.
Agreed, but a 11/12 doesn't STRUGGLE to get into the 11's anyway you slice it......well unless he's a horrible driver lol.
I bet I can make it struggle. Hold mah beer.
Just to clear up some misinformation here
2015+ coyote motors can last AGES at 750-800whp with good parts, a good tune, and good fuel.
Wifeys car was almost 700whp on 93 octane for 55,000 miles. And i best on it like it owed me money, routinely.
Plenty of cars I’ve driven / been involved with that make 750+ and are headed toward 100k miles.
The issues arise because the owners push the envelope, always wanting that last bit of horsepower. If they leave it alone, it’ll last for a good while.

While I agree with you, OP wants a back seat to take his kids out. Something the Vette doesn’t have.

Well this thread brought out some good points....and my screen name will live in infamy I suppose...maybe Ill change it to boneblower stock. (not sure if that can b done)
But from what I gleaned so far from this discussion is that the coyote engine can easily handle 725-800 rwhp with the correct supporting mods. i.e. OPG.
The GT 500s need proper rear end gears to perform their fastest.
A 2018 A10 whipple or TT Hellion will walk a stock 2011-2014 GT 500.
Q- Would a 2018 whipple/Hellion A10 2PP beat a 2014 GT 500 whipple on a road course? ie which would handle turns better?

18 Whippled GT, no doubt.
An 18 PP2 whippled will make a mockery of damn near anybody out there if you can drive. With proper track pads. A 14gt500 will not stand a chance. But keep in mind some people in focus ST's will blow by GT3 Porsches in some regular lapping days, driver skill/experience plus building track reliablity is more valuable than mods or what car you bring.
IMO it would make the perfect best of all worlds car, except resale value.
Ive driven a 14 gt500 on road course and it was actually quite meh, decent, but just did not feel at home

"The best of all worlds car"...….you nailed it.
This is what Im after in the stang realm of vehicles.
Perhaps the best thing to do investment wise is to wait it out a bit and pick up a 18 pp2 whippled ride in like 2020 or thereabouts......at least until the new GT500 drops.
Waiting sux tho
