Ok almost no one believes that the shelby is capable of doing low 12s since most car magazines are saying it is only doing high 12s what are we to believe well me i am betting almost everything that MM&FF will be able to get the shelby in the low 12s stock who here believes i am right and who doesnt think it will ever happen?

He is a test pilot MM&FF uses, the fact that you don't know who he is and you are raving about MM&FF times shows you are well qualified to discuss a topic such as this! :read:

Sorry if i dont know the peoples names who drive the cars in magazines i just have seen what MM&FF have done with cars in the past and every time they have gotten lower times then other people. I rave about the times did i ever mention the names of the people no i am more intereted in times not the peoples names.

Ok so far everyone has said the shelby will be capabale of doing low 12s so why all the fuss about how it wieghs alot and i for one wish it didnt wiegh that much but we cant do anything about it but for a car that wieghs that much low 12s is pretty awesome and with slicks high 11s im not complaining.

And i know evan is a expert car driver and i know if he gets low 12s in the quarter everyone wont be able to get low 12s all i am saying is people only think this car is only capable of getting high 12s wich isnt true i believe it is capable of getting low 12s and thats my whole point.

i'd venture to say if the electronics are not too fugged he will squeak out an 11

edit the reason i say this is i pull low 13's with a car that weighs about 500-600lbs less but with roughly 200rwhp less

edit2 plus evan has driven one of my friends cars to a badass time and my friend blows me away by .05 in the 60' on street tires

+2 low 12's

Evan is quite a driver....but I wonder what Carroll Shelby would run? 13.4?

BTW I'm not dissing on C.S. He's one of my biggest heros...but old age catches up to you sooner or later :shrug:

Until you were told who Evan was a few post back, you didn't even know who he was. Now you talk about him like he's your buddy :poke:

I'd be stunned if he didn't tick off a 12.1 or less. I think 11.9x is possible.

The only thing killing this car from a stop is tires. Put DR's on it and there will be many a decent driver running high 11's.
