Ya because I didn’t say that though, ya’ll a bunch of school girls bitchn about which Porsche log to chomp on next.

#MURICA. Don’t care about real life results, this is internet country and that gt500 goin be real Cletus like on them gt2’s. Ain’t goin need to gap an RS cause the RS driver will be stuck in pit lane getting a blow job from you fanboys. Easy winz

Edit* so there’s just the gt2rs? I thought they do a gt2 and a gt2rs like the gt3 and gt3rs. If they don’t make a plebeian gt2, then ya the gt500 isn’t doing anything compared to a gt2rs, sorry. This is what happens when you honestly don’t follow German stuff because it’s outta yer price range and honestly doesn’t give me a boner. Condolences to those porschephiles offended.

Yeah, that’s about all I took from the small portion I scrolled through. This forum never disappoints.

There are a few dudes on here with their head planted firmly in their ass.

You are the guy who took the time to read it so that’s says what...

Bottom line, a gt500 will come spotting distance to a demon with just drag radials, and although far removed from lapping with a gt2rs, it’s well ahead of a demon trying to do the same, and msrp wise it’s similar priced to a demon.

If the ford is 5 seconds a lap off a gt2rs, the demon is 15 seconds behind. The demon might click a 9.80-9.90 on a tire, the gt500 is gonna be solid 10.0-10.25 on a tire. The demon is ~$125-150k still with markups and $90k Msrpm with a straight shooting dealer. Both pricing styles are still in the market.

Gt500’s are msrp lower than a demon by 10k, but even if we say the track pack one, at $92k, it’s a hell of a lot closer to a gt2rs then as well as a demon contender just with a tire swaps.

That’s impressive regardless anyone’s carbrand affections.

Lol the art of back peddaling. I've seen you mention it a number of times now because one of the mags compared it to the 2RS. Well, another mag also compared the CFTP to a miata so you reeaaally have to take mag comments with a grain of salt and realize not every comment equates to times. Half these guys who were in Vegas had a blast, felt the power mated with the DCT but probably didn't realize they were slower than a pro driver in a spec miata. High horsepower is quick to fool people on track.

I still expect the CFTP to lay down properly impressive laps but it wont be in the realm of the ACR or 2RS. Likely wont beat the GT3RS either

No,............auto ZR1 was completely stock the first time they ran the 2 cars.
Redeye had about 875 at the crank and the ZR1, obviously, has 755 at the crank. You're thinking of the second time that they did a video meet-up.
God, I love me some 2019 ZR1 cars!

I will ask driveway demons.

I had no idea there’s no gt2 anymore honestly. Porsche is fine all but I don’t have as much fun when driving a Porsche vs when driving a corvette or well sorted mustang. The unrefinement and shittier stability is more enjoyable even though it’s slower imo.

Maybe, and then the Redeye does full bolt ons, runs 9.50’s, and then you do full bolt ons and your DCT goes bye bye, and now you have to spend another $10-15k+ to handle the power, we all know Mustangs are amazing, buy what you like and don’t be such a fan boy... just saying

Fan boy?

If I wanted to run on the drag strip every weekend, I wouldn't spend $100k on GT500.

I'd spend $100k on a Cobra Jet and walk the Mopars.

We're talking about an OVERALL car. One that is competitive in every contest. Not a one trick pony that would look like a lumber wagon going through a chicane.

Cobra Jets are actually 130k
Then on top of that,
You need a truck and trailer to tote it around. Now you are up to around 160k.
Then, lets not forget, you will need a place to put it. So 40kish for an extra garage. (Since the truck you bought is now taking up the extra space in your driveway)
So really, its about 180-200kish all in for a cobra jet.

And you still dont have a fast street car. You are left with a car with NO vin, and one you can’t do anything with except race, which to me (personal opinion) is kinda pointless.
I still love seeing the cobra jets at the track. Just not my cup of tea to own.

I'm a Ford dealer. I can own a Cobra Jet today for $105k.
I have a truck and a trailer; multiple in fact.
I have over 20,000 square foot of storage space, I don't need a place to put it.
It is a fast street car. Slap a dealer tag on the back, and I'll drive it all over town.

Lol @ cobra jet. Pointless vehicle unless ...

Do you even 6 figure?

Pointless vehicle unless you're discussing factory produced cars running at the drag strip....then it definitely comes in to focus.

In order to run a Cobra Jet on the weekends, you should be a mid-six figurer.

I love that dodge guys will do all sorts of mental gymnastics to defend the non production items that make the demon the demon in one breath and then shit on the CJ in the next.

I bet if you use Purvis's negotation skills, you can get a CJ for under 90K OTD.

Or, buy a fox body, dump 20K into it, have a car that wipes the floor with both the new GT500 and Redeye and call it a day.

Stock for Stock GT500 > Redeye
Modded Redeye > Stock GT500

Modded GT500 vs Modded Redeye = TBD.

The demon is definitely a unique set up for a factory backed fun street/strip car.

the red eye is a stellar fun car that is significantly more affordable for the average person looking for a new car to have fun on the street and maybe hit the strip.

the GT500 is going to punch well above it’s class and while the wait was a snooze fest it so far seems it’s going to easily deliver and even exceed expectations. It’ll come at a cost but in its price point it’s giving people the versatility to do it all and with high capabilities.

I’d love to have one in my garage but my wallet says otherwise lol, so a Redeye is likely more my lane if it comes to it.

the fact that I have so many options in the American car market though is enjoyable, how long will it last though?

What is your point in comparing a NHRA factory stock track only CJ to street driven mopars?

I was comparing the CJ to a RedEye because we were talking about one trick ponies. That was it.

In no way, shape, or form was I saying I'd rather go to grocery store in a CJ.
