Thanks, Shane. I appreciate the information. I'm definitely impressed by the GT500s, that's for sure. But the 147 trap definitely confused me as it seems quite high considering the mods, power and weight.

 

I have nothing else to share with you at this point, and not in the mood to dig around either. These cars run those trap speeds. Face it. Sell your car and get the Shelby and see for yourself...
Oh and here's a 150mph stock motor car for ya..

Good finds! Thanks... I was a skeptic too, but saw the results and got one myself!

 

that thing should be illegal ..... achieving 8's on a stock motor is somthing to brag about IMO

 

A GT500 is a fantastic car my dad bought one not to long ago. In stock form they are kind of sluggish his is getting JLT CAI, 2.6 pulley, lower springs, and a tune. It already has a Ford racing catback which I think is way to quiet it needs a catless setup. His tuner said 560whp which would be good for mid 120 mph in the traps and good for a high 10 with a solid hook. I will be honest for a mustang they attract alot of attetion I went to a small ice cream store the other day and all eyes were on me when I pulled up. Im a mustang guy so to get this kind of attetion is something Im not really use to. All in all its one of my favorite production cars ever.


Ford did their homework on stock motored cars. There was one 03 cobra (Buster) that went 8's on a stock motor. It made 1000whp on a stock motor. My friends car will go low 9's on a stock motor with a GT42-76 and supporting mods.

 

Very impressive! I especially like the TH400 conversion. What a great daily-driveable car that would be when you don't feel like rowing gears in traffic.

 

You could also put a 4r70w in it for and over drive trans. Lentech makes one that supports 1500hp.

 

You guys get traffic in Virginia?
Bring the GT2 up to New York across one of the bridges to Long Island...
If you have an aggressive clutch pedal... Oh man..

 

There are other cars that will run into the 8's and 9's on stock motors, but not many as inexpensive and cheap to modify as the GT500.

 

I know what they can do, and we have plenty locally. You have the 2.8L mammoth, correct? What power are you making, and when are you going to the track?
You are trying to make it seem like these cars trap over 140 easily, and it's just not the case. All the examples you guys are showing have significant work done to them aside from the blower swap.

 

Greg! Should I trade in my GT-R for a 11' shelby?

Your car is insane!

The Evolution car is a bolt on car, of course it takes a lot of boost and bolt on mods....and drivetrain and suspension parts to run 8's. No one is disputing that, he was more referring to the capability of the engine. Running 8's with a never opened factory engine with bolts on is a huge achievement in my book.

 

I'm not taking anything away from the Shelby's, I love them, hell my daughters name is Shelby! haha But you are not gonna trap 140 without a lot more work other than the blower swap. I mean some of the cars you guys are linking have TH400's, 9" rears, revving to 7k rpm and in 40* weather on c16 with very aggressive tunes that a stock long block is not gonna endure for long. These cars are not examples of something that most blower swap cars are doing.
