Trap is low for both cars. Still impressive to see a 4door rwd tune only keep up with a Whipple Cobra+ supporting mods Cobra

My tune only rs7 would rape both of those cars. Don't understand the low trap on the Shelby.

True but I would love to see a tuned RS7 vs a Renntech E63 S...that is a more comparable car to your RS

So you're calling bs that the gt500 with a whipple doesn't make 700whp? Lol

Numbers don't lie, 124 MPH is not 700whp. Maybe it made 700 on a dyno but is pulling timing out due to IATs on the big end of the track.

Shelby needs tires. I simply cant understand why a car with 500+rwhp will run at the track without the proper wheel/tire combo.

Saying it doesn't make 700whp because of one crap run (horrible launch and shifting) where it trapped 124mph doesn't make your claim a fact.

700whp and 11.6@124? Yeah, no.

Agreed...Owner is full of BS. True 700whp would've murdered that M5 too...

It probably does make 700WHP. The owner can't drive for shit. He was short shifting, taking too long between shifts, and if you notice, he even tapped the brakes during one of the shifts. So yeah, the car is capable. The driver is not.

Indeed.

auto & turbo has a huge advantage over stick & blower, no matter how much more fun a stick car is.

these new cars are impressive.

Doesn't the RS7 cost a good chunk more than the M5, though? New vs new. Either way, I'd take the M or the RS7 as my DD.
