My 2013 Shelby GT500 vs C7 Z06

definitely get seat time to learn and get used to your car cause it can be scary. 3rd is the wrong gear and gave him the race at that mph. as others said at 50 i would be in 2nd gear and for a really sick lunge between 50 and 60 mph. if going less the 50 i would start out in 1st but then it gets silly. i pulled on a red eye charger from 50 to top of 3rd by about a car and a half to 2 cars. still havent had the oppertunity to try a c7 z06. there was a c8 i messed with some and imo it was embarassing for him from a roll

I can tell you with certainty that with your mods and a proper start in the right gear (2nd gear from a 50 roll), you shouldn’t have a problem pulling a stock c7z. You’re probably around 700whp, and a stock c7z will dyno between 570-580whp more often than not. You will outweigh him by about 300-350lbs (curb weight), but the extra 100+whp will be hard for him to make up for bone stock. If he is modded, it would be a different story.

Yes, just took it out tonight and getting more and more comfortable with it, shift points etc.

I have an appointment set up towards the end of July with a local tuner as well.

Car is fun and fast as hell.

Yes, same! Especially in 2nd gear when I stomp on it!

That's crazy how you pulled on a Hellcat Red Eye!

My buddy's son is playfully telling me how his 392 Challenger will take me and I just laugh at him and tell him I'll walk him with ease.

Hey everyone, I got my 2013 Shelby GT500 about a month ago and I was out driving tonight and came up against a C7 Z06. I just got my car and I know I'm playing with fire a bit because I haven't had it to a tuner yet, but I couldn't resist. I'm going to set up some time with Lidio at Alternative Auto Performance in the near future.

Anyway, my car has a few minor mods:

Whipple CAI
Whipple Twin 68MM TB
Metco 2.40" pulley
Metco Auxiliary Idler Kit
ARS Belt Tensioner
MGW Shifter
NGK Plugs

So we line up and run and he pulls away from me pretty easily.

I slow down and he says lets hit it from 50 on 3. I'm in 3rd gear and we both hit it and I stay with him for a couple seconds and then he walks away from me like I'm in a station wagon.

So, we slow down further down the road and I ask if he's stock and he says "yes", which I thought may not be true because of how he just walked me. He asks if I am and I said no, I have a different pulley and couple other light mods. He then asks "upper or lower" and then asks where I got the work done so I give him the details and I ask how many HP he's running and he "doesn't know" because it's stock and he just got it.

So I'm thinking to myself, this guy knows enough to ask what pulley I replaced and where I got it tuned, but he's totally clueless to what HP his stock Z06 is running?

Are those cars that fast stock?

Your car is very modestly modded. Swap out the exhaust for some Kooks and toss on a VMP Gen3R.

Otherwise, You'll continue to be a frequent customer at Gapplebees.
