I want to try my hand at Sebring or Daytona with the GT500 and ('12) GT-R.

Yesterday, on my way to Costco, I had a new white Boss messing with me on University. Light turns yellow ahead and he nails the brakes to sit next to me. He's blipping the throttle the whole time, I'm watching the cross-light in R-mode. Cross light goes red, I floor the brake and throttle and activate launch control. I let him jump and he goes hard. By ~300' I was out about 5 cars on him. By about the 1/8th it was 8-10. First time I have done that on the street, as I usually race at the track these days. My '12 has intakes, midpipe, injectors and tune.
My '13 cut a 1.62 60' last week at E-town on the first pass and they threw me out.
They are very hard to beat. On Friday I watched helplessly as my buddy's GT-R seriously gapped me in the GT500 at OSW. It was kind of humiliating. Conversely, there is a (cough) vid out there of a '13 GT-R seriously humbling a '13 GT500 from a dig on the street but getting its ass kicked from a roll.

I would say the magazine test are the best data we can get because the numbers are obtained with one and the same "professional" driver who is equally familiar with either car.

They don't have the balls because Chevy SUCKS!!!

LOL, took you 30min to start talking smack when you said you weren't going to! I dont think anyone will step up since they know what the outcome will be. Also, I thought you and Erik fom Torque where going to keep at it? Did he bow out or are you two not getting along to well?

I'm simply trying to elicit a response.

Erik from Dorq was waiting for his license in TT when I met him at Homestead. Having ridden with him at Homestead I'm not the least bit worried. I'll go stock intake and stock throttle body against his ZL1 and well, 2.29 at Sebring. A ZLTurd is dreaming. I let the smack talk go 30 minutes and now I'm on it. ZL1's suck and I'll do whatever it takes to prove that turd is exactly what it is........

EPIC FAIL. Revan Racing versus OBAMA GOVERNMENT MOTORS! I'll Kick OBAMA's ASS all day long.

If you've got a race license I've got game. Bring it! http://www.svtperformance.com/forums...s/beerchug.gif

Sincerely,

Revan Racing

Because we race. Those guys want to rest on magazine articles.......ha....bring it............

I approve this message.

If it comes down to the 2013 GT500 vs. a ZL1 modified or not.............

Ford and Revan Racing will come out on top

It takes balls to flat foot out of the bus stop and I've been flat out since before the resurface............

I got a reply on C5 and he's a Daytona local with 750 RWHP. Let's go............





Really man. This shows me how garbage YOU are. I'm going to make that my only stab at you as a man because I'm more of a in your face person but I will say this. Serving your country and laying your life down for your fellow man takes 2 balls you tool. Racing is a sport but i'm not going to insult it because it may be your life but not mine as well as the majority of people on this site. Keep that garbage on SVT because it's not welcome here. There's ways to do things but obviously you prefer to stir sh*t. I hope they ban your a**.

If anyone wants cred, run them 100% stock with equally experienced drivers.

Other than that, it proves nothing.

The Wounded Warrior Project is the most deserving charity in the US. As a VFW qualified ex-Marine thanks for the money you have spent on this project.

The only "legit" offer would be Sebring and only if he is not associated with the track. I wonder what his real motive is for the challenge anyways.

Pdari I really don't think there are any good intentions behind this so called challenge but anyone that was calling the Shelby inferior needs to have their head examined. As to the whole Torq race deal I remember the thread and if i'm not mistaken Torq was testing the prototype heat exchanger in their ZL1 and not racing anyone when Van passed him on the track. At least that's what I thought but to keep down the confusion we will call that a victory for the GT500 :iono:. I'm pretty sure he won't have a problem finding a ZL1 to race in Florida whether it's someone from this site or not.
