I raced a GT-500

**Stone** · 08-30-2006, 03:54 PM

I was on my way home when i saw this red with white striped GT-500 waving his hands at me like he was talking shit!! So i pulled a UE and caught up to him. We went from a 40 with him pulling by 2.5 cars to 110. We tried to go again but i shut it down after missing 3rd(tranny still fonked up!) I pull onside of him and it turns out to be the one my stedad told me about at Stang-HI(local mustang tuner). He pulled 485@ the wheels with a tune. He was pretty cool after i got to talk to him.He said DAMN that little thing MOVES!! Hes on his way to the track right now...........o and its his WIFES CAR!!!

I was 1.8xx seconds faster than the one at Bandimere when I was there.
I was hooking much better than he was though.

Nice race!!

what mods on your SRT?

**Stone** · 08-31-2006, 02:08 PM

Stage 2, CCA front mount intercooler, 3in open downpipe with E-cutout, Turbo XS RFL blow off valve, and intake. Thats about it for performance mods.

I want to race a GT500, I think I could

one.

**Stone** · 08-31-2006, 02:49 PM

Yea im judging by him vs. me that he prolly went mid 12s only last night. My car is good on teh street but not on the track so i dunno. Hope i get to talk to him and see what he ran!

Wow, awesome race buddy. Should've taken some pictures. Would've been nice.

**Stone** · 09-06-2006, 07:51 PM

He was at the track tonight with a best of 12.4@117. His highest trap was 119. He says he has the gears, pulley, and MTs on teh way. Must be nice to have money!!

I think this was the first kill story involving a GT500 posted on this website.

The night I was at Sears Point a guy was racing his. Bone stock, had traction problems off the line, said he tried everything.

He thinks the computer cuts the power when the ultra-diligent tire pressure monitor detects anything below 35psi.

Regardless, he was running 13.3s/13.4s (13.3 was his dial-in). An '05 C6 automatic (5spd) was running 13.4s/13.5s and I was running 13.6s. We all "SHOULD" have been .5 sec quicker but it was quite warm and humid.

I am pretty dissapointed in those gt-500s at least from what I have read on them.

**Deuuuce** · 09-09-2006, 04:42 AM

I was too until someone tossed this in: stock convertible on ET streets ran a 12.1 @ 117mph.

I think the magazines have some typical inconsistent Ford quality dogs.
