    ISO VMP Gen 2R or VMP Gen III

    Must have around 20k miles or less. Must show pictures of port work if applicable. Bonus if it comes with TB and/or intake. Thanks.

    Built motor guys step on in

    If you don’t push that newly built motor to its limit, you should be fine. If it’s an aluminum block car, I’d sleeve it while the motor is out. I think it’s around 1800 to do. Sleeves, rods, pistons, head studs, bearings, etc should put you around 5k if you wheel and deal for pricing. Good...

    3.4 Whipple vs VMP TVS

    These are my thoughts currently. He needs a full fuel system to turn the wick up. But I don’t think his motor will handle everything that blower can dish out. I watched him lose by a car to a 650whp V the other night. Not impressed with his car so far. Conversely, I ran away from an 800whp TT...

    3.4 Whipple vs VMP TVS

    Hey guys, I got a local buddy who’s been chasing me ever since I bought my car two years ago. He finally got a new blower, gen II 3.4 Whipple, and I’m curious. How do you think it will go, in a roll race scenario? Here’s the specs: 12 GT500 - stock motor, 3.73, VMP TVS gen 1, long tubes, fuel...

    VMP TVS GT500 vs 4.0 Whipple Cobra

    Lol. Nothing wrong with the Cobra. We raced a couple more times from lower rolls and it was worse. Shelby runs pretty good for basic mods.

    Anybody running a VMP Gen 3 and their new TBs?

    I've "beat up" on several other Shelbys and Cobras with massive blowers. Just depends on the setup. Takes a lot more engine power to crank those big KB and Whipple blowers. At that point, I'd rather have a turbo setup instead of taking on that much parasitic loss.

    Post your Shelby GT500 Dyno Numbers in here

    that is impressive for a hot car with an auto. How does it feel on the highway? I bet its a damn drill from a low roll.

    Anybody running a VMP Gen 3 and their new TBs?

    Interested to see real world results. I'm going to finally ditch my gen I VMP this winter and go Gen 3. I've made 775/830trq through some radials on the gen I. With rods and pistons, I'm gonna be looking for 9-950 with the 2650. For those considering the 4.0 Whipple, it takes a lot of engine...

    Trade my GT500 for New auto 5.0?

    Interesting situation. I contemplated both a GT500 and an S550 and ended up with a 12 Shelby with a VMP TVS. I couldn't be happier with the car and coming from the garbage T56 in a Cobra, I was thrilled with the 6060. I have a Barton shifter and an RST with Motul fluid and it shifts like butter...

    D1SC C6 vs Silly Fast Neon & YSi Grand Sport & a fireball

    Poor Neon. Spin spin spin, by the time it actually grabbed it was over.

    Trinity swapped notchback

    Badass swap but **** that blower. Needs a TVS or it will get drug by quite a few better set up cars. 4.0 whipple isn't effective on the street. All depends on what you want to do with it. Very nice swap.

    Man, I am a Shelby fan.

    I have had about 30 cars in 16 years, and i can honestly say I hope to keep my 2012 forever but it is still just a thing. If i could pass it down to my son one day though, that wold be badass. Make sure he smashes all his little friends Hondas. By that point though, an 800whp car may be a turd :eek:

    Good Info On Turbo GT500 setups????

    Interested in going this route as well but from what I've seen, it requires a lot of custom fab work, relocating the ECU for one is a PITA factor of proper turbo kit for our cars.

    Full bolt on nitrous CTSV kill

    CTS-Vs are kind of a joke, they can make 800whp and if you have a solid 600whp car, you'll most likely be all over them. They seem to do best with just a couple mods. Good kill.

    Recommended sparkplugs?

    TR6 is what Lethal recommends for simple TVS set-ups.

    Hand picked owners

    The hype has been ongoing too long for that car to ever actually deliver on the promises Ford has made. It is a badass car but I don't think its a world beater. I used to work for a guy who had the first GT in PA and he tried to pre-order and pay for his upfront and they denied him. Ford...

    Highest mileage GT500? Its a driver!

    Badass, it will take me quite awhile to get to 100k. Sitting @ 8k currently.

    Could/Did you sell a long owned car?

    I cried when I sold my 92 Dodge Stealth TT right before I left for college but I knew college would RUIN that car and I didn't have the means to just keep it and let it sit. Watching that thing load up on the trailer was rough. My dream car and I busted my ass to get that thing by the time I was...
