sick!
Car sounds good man. Nice daytime vids!
No, it wasn't me. I live up in Lubbock and have never been to Houston with my car. Thanks for the compliments, my car runs pretty good for what it is, a stock motored, low boost, daily driver.
Did the gt500 owner let he's son drive the car?
Nope, that's his car. He's a good kid and does well in school, who cares how he got the car. I think he'll be paying for all the mods.
That GT500 would have done much much better with just a tune,
my car stock was 449rwhp
tune only-480rwhp
JLT/tune-515rwhp
Sounded like the GT500 was hitting the rev limiter or his shift tone was set way too low.
Awsome day time races, wish I had a place like that to run!

Nice vid.
I still think the GT500 is an overpriced big fat pig for what it offers.

hey everyone i am the owner/driver of the GT500 in the video. The beeping sound is one that you can program and adjust in all the GT500s. Some guys think i should of done better against the SS with the juice but take the large weight difference into consideration. Also, the SS is making almost the same amount of rwtq that i am. The race went exactly how i expected. That same SS put 1.5-2 lengths on a bolt-on Terminator a few weeks back.
The rev limiter sound you heard was the turbo GT ahead. My window was rolled down so you could hear it very well.
So tell me why again ford didn't just turbo the 3v 4.6 and use that for the GT500? Its nearly the same boost level, and the turbo car's engine is probably under less stress. Its CLEARLY faster as well.
It's not that simple, you're talking about an aftermarket kit vs a setup in a production car. Reliability to 70-100K miles and beyond is considered, complexity, (a lot more components in a turbo kit), cost, engine response, etc..
Ford could have easily put a twin screw on a GT500 like planned, but they didn't for whatever reasons. A twin screw would be more efficient, produce less heat and make more power. So if they won't opt. for even that, a turbo is an unlikely possibility.
We can always hope for it to happen though..:beer:
Thanks :beer:
Fast Gt! :rockon:
I wanna head down there for some runs with you guys. Should be fun.
