Also, we're going to need video (from outside the car), timeslips, and 3 firsthand witnesses that the GT500 ran an 11.5. If you can't, or if anything's fishy, we toss all claims out and get to claim the GT500 runs the quarter in 14.5.
Seriously, how do you guys take 11.5 as gospel with as much cross-examination as you've given almost every good ZL1 quarter time? And no, you don't get to claim "Physics!" |

Give Evan or a good driver a 13 Shelby that hasn't just been heat soaked to death with 30+ passes, and allowed to drive the car without the LC, mid to low 11's would be the norm... Look at those trap speeds for crying out loud... Mid to high 120's, for a bone stock car, is moving the f&ck out... Look how much faster the ZL1 is without LC at the strip. Makes a big difference... Also @ newmoon, all this talk about mph IS a big deal, and not just as you say "talk". It's an indication of the HP to weight (which is incredible) and the amount of power this thing is putting to the ground. Which is a sh!t ton... Like more power to the wheels than the Z has at the crank kinda power. You know what else a car with that kinda MPH means? Don't F%CK with it from a roll on the highway unless you want to be videotaped being raped by bus-lengths in your Z... |

Do you have any idea how many press representatives were there? They had one day at the dragstrip to let all of them drive the new Shelby down the strip. In all likelihood, I doubt any of the 20-30 cars they had at the event were motionless very long.

It looked like they were using several different cars. Just cause they had 20 some brand spankin new Shelby's there doesn't mean they had every one of them there to be ragged out beyond belief by some magazine drivers. Im sure most of them were there for photo's to be taken. There even was a picture of a dent removal guy there, removing a dent from one of the cars. I'm sure Ford has alot of money at there disposal, but i doubt they would approve 20+ brand new Shelby's to be ragged out on a press release. They probably said here, take these 5 cars and use these for your runs at the press release. Not all 20 of them LOL... |
