Anybody heard of a 131 mph bone stock '13 GT500 in Alabama?

[Snorman]

I have, it ran 11.6 @131 Stock. Well I did put 109 octane in it but didnt have a tune. 60ft was horrible 2.60 2.70 range I have video but my buddy had no clue what he was doing and didnt know you could zoom in.

From another board where I post. Guy posted a video of his '13 with a catback and I joke for him to get his car to the track. He replied with the above quote, and continues to insist his bone stock '13 ran 131 with 109 octane in it (which would, obviously, actually kill power).
I'm thinking it's a timing error at the track where he claims to have run this.

Tony and I have both run over 127 mph, but that's the fastest I know of in a '13. I think they'll go ~129 or so in great air at a fast track, but it would have to be a very clean run.

Timing clocks have been known for making the occasional mistake from time to time. 131 stock, I call BS

I'm not buying it. He had 2 disclaimers. 2.6 - 2.7 60' and 109 octane which requires a tune because of the high oxygenation of the fuel. Even worse if he blended it with 93.

I'd call it a botched timing and scoring error. That would be like me standing on a 252 MPH pass at the Texas Mile which did show but was an error and we had to do another pass.

I'm in North Alabama Snorman and I don't know of anyone who has run theirs. I have not run mine yet either. There is an older gentleman in town with a black, no stripe car that has a catback system added to it (no tune, and no other mods) but I do not believe he has ever ran his car.

I don't know him, but he posted his story at Team Shelby.

Thats not possible in a stock 2013. Total bs

 

[Myfast70]

Here's a copy of his time slip posted on team Shelby.

 

[railroad]

That phone number is close to where I live, but i have not seen another 13 shelby on the street. I also have not been to any strips with it. I guess someone could give him a call, since he posted his number.

 

[Shhhh]

Holy crap, 32mph on the big end. Thats impressive in itself.

 

[rwboring]

the slip's 60 and et line up but a 2.7 and 11.6 don't

 

[Van@RevanRacing]

Tailwind? LOL

Timeslip says 12.1@ 128.. Am I missing something besides a BS claim?

haha that's why i keep my best time slip in my wallet!
if he can't 'find' it... it probably didn't happen.

 

[Myfast70]

He said this was the only one he could find

A 30 second google search and found this posting from 2011 with same problem = unexplained MPH at this track.

I've ran my prior vehicle, a 2008 Corvette Coupe LS3/Manual/Z-51, several times at Alabama International Dragway in Steele, AL. My car was stock except for Nitto Invo Tires and an air intake (car was not tuned though). Although the track is a little rough/bumpy, especially near the end, I never had an issue with an inflated MPH reading.

I kept a couple of my timeslips from 2 different days of racing. I made several passes in March of 2009 with my quickest ET being 12.688 @ 114.14 with a slow 60' of 2.239. While my fastest MPH that day was 116.61 @ 12.844 with another even slower 60' of 2.307. 2 other timeslips I kept from runs I did in November 18, 2072 (it was 2010...but apparently they don't keep up with their slips dates all the time as my slips said 2072 that day!) and I ran my quickest ET of that day was 12.484 @ 115.74 with a slow 2.10 60' while my fastest MPH this day was 116.45 @ 12.873 with an even slower 2.237 60'. As you can see, I need to work on my 60' times! I hope to take the Shelby their sometime this spring to see if I can break into the 11's/120's. :rockon:

I went 11.78 @ 127.8 when mine was BONE stock. I didnt' touch air pressure in the tires either. We pulled up at the track, let it cool off for a few, then that was the 3rd and final pass.

Very hard to believe a 131
