This sounds like opinion, not fact. Just sayin.

Compare the mods for each and the times, then tell me which one is on top.

I'm still blown away that this argument can even take place. These options at dealerships was unfathomable not that long ago.

no shit, factory 10 second cars and 9s with minor mods being called flops, get the **** out of here. I'll reserve judgement on the GT500 for a while but all in all seems to be doing as expected - it's pretty quick in the 1/4 and will stay lay waste to most on a road course.

I guess the other question is - does the benefit of the tire upgrade outweigh the drag of the aero on the track pack car in a dig run. I believe Ford is on record saying the non TP car would be the better drag car

"To clear things up: We ran each car separately at our test track (off camera) with the same driver and better weather conditions and got the results you see at the end of the video. Do you think the outcome would change on a prepped surface and if each car had drag radials?"

GT500: 11.3 @ 130.7 MPH
RedEye: 11.7 @ 127.0 MPH
ZL1: 11.6 @ 122.4 MPH

While this is unprepped, that makes it even more realistic as 95% of people messing around are on the street. GT500 trap speed is dragging the RedEye down the highway 10 times out of 10. Also lets remember the RedEye is essentially a drag car, whereas the GT500 is essentially a road course car(on par with GT3RS). The ZL1, well, maybe it would have a good run with a bolt on 18+ 5.0?

This is for the morons around here stating they "haven't seen the GT500 win anything yet". Maybe an apples to apples comparison is what you should be looking fo

Not even close to apples to apples test; I say this longing for the 500 but for base models with autos the Dodge weighs 400+ lbs more, 43 less HP, $11K less for non wide body and you expected it to win? And the ZL! weighs the same, 110 HP less, $8500 less and you expected a different result? So you can call me a moron with oranges to compare.

I’m just going to go ahead and say it, “The Predator is the 2nd coming.” I don’t condone it but street racing videos are going to be crazy. The chief Engineer of this platform wasn’t playing when he said there is a lot of room on the table to grow with this car. Is safe to say with a couple mods this might be a 1000 horse monster roaming the streets? Time will tell!

So find me another source comparing the 3. That's what we have for now. And the fact that they used the same driver, same conditions, same day for the results seems pretty legit to me.

Car and Driver, Motor Trend, whatever your flavor of choice, the results are the same...

Edit: trap speed results. Obviously ETs are off in this vid considering no prep.

Magazines are terrible and I place no credibility on any of them. Also comparing redeye on the factory Pirellis is a waste of time. They could just as well be doing a pond racing comparo. Show me a mag that has run <11 sec in a RE.

Totally different cars. Can't use a compairson like that to prove your point.

Sure I can. Both identical cars other than aero, CF wheels and stickier compound tires on both the 350 and 500 models.

guess what (out of those differences) will help the cars accelerate faster?

Those very expensive CF wheels and stickier compound tires net about 0.2 et and 2mph difference
