it had nothing to do with the cars...

Orrrrrr the GT500 just could not drive. Even so, it depends on what the GT500 had done to it. We do not know. Even if it was a perfect run, a stock GT500 up against a Camaro with those many mods, and a ("150 shot" corrected from a "200' shot) would still lose.

A better race would be compare GarageLogic GT500 to this car. A modded GT500 (KB BLower swap) with a driver that can actually drive. Its funny how some avoid his vid of his run....I guess its a Jedi mind trick....

No, I don't think anyone is avoiding his video. There's no way any Camaro is touching that without extensive modifications, and even with the modifications Garagelogic has, it's probably a bit more expensive then this Camaro in the video.

I agree that the GT500 owner wasn't a great driver though. Anyone doubting a GT500 is crazy!

[2cnd chance]

the best way to guage is total dollars spent to go fast! (and use two competant drivers)
anyone come up with a formula for a ratio?

[BigDan]

Hurry up and get into the 10's before the M6 manual guys do. That should shut up the auto bashers.

What is the altitude of that track?! I would expect better then a 120mph trap out of a true 200 wheel shot.

Damn...nice run in that GT500!!

Camaro will be in the 10s before too long...saw it run a 11.4 something at Lonestar Motor Sports Park last Saturday...at least I think that was it? Damn thing scooted out like crazy and was down the track before you knew it!! LOL! Was awesome to see!

Thanks. My car's best run at the end of last year was A 10.76 @ 131mph in the same configuration as the car was in for the run in the video. (Cooler air helped).

I've not had a chance to get it to the track yet this year, but I'm shooting for low-10's on the drag radials. I'm going to throw some unleaded race gas in it and go down from the 2 7/8" to the 2 3/4" pulley. If that doesn't get me there, some 116 leaded and the 2.5" pulley should.

The car in the same configuration but later in the fall with cooler weather laid down a 10.76 @ 133 on the same track (Beech Bend). I'd love to get the car to Atco or one of the faster tracks in the country and see what it could do.

Thanks, Dave

Over on the GT500 forum you have your mods listed in your Sig...care to post a time slip or video of your 10.76 run?

"2007 Shelby GT500, Red/White Stripes KB Stage III 2.8 w/2 7/8 upper, H&R coilovers, adj. panhard, adj. UCA, billet trailing arms, Magnaflow axleback. 11.18@129.4MPH"

You admit you have not been in the 10's yet. And you only have 81 posts, guess you really like the Camaro forums...

Mustang forums are boring and un-informative. These forums are much better.

Okay, Sherlock, it’s pretty simple.

The best time I have on video in the car is the 11.18 run back last September. Did you happen to catch when my last post was in the thread you linked to? 9/13/08. You have already pointed out that I rarely visit that site, so it only make sense that my signature on the forum is out-of-date. If you waste some more of your time looking at other forums where I rarely visit, you might find the exact same information.

While the car did run a 10.76 later in the year, I do not have video of that pass. I do, however, have a timeslip somewhere and will be happy to scan it for you once I dig it up. I guess if your someone who does not often frequent the drag strip, you might not understand that air temps play a huge factor in getting a good ET/MPH, especially on a supercharged car. For those that do know what they are talking about, they will tell you that even the slower 129mph trap speed that has already been documented is more than enough power to get the car well into the 10’s. 10.76 is not some pie-in-the-sky number created out of thin air.

As for trying to catch me in a lie, try again. The question that was asked was, “What mods did you have to do to get that kind of hp?” not “What mods did you have to do to get that kind of time?” If you will read the mod list, instead of coming on here and suggesting that I am somehow making things up, the only modification to the car that influenced its power output is the KB swap. Everything else that has been done to the car was cosmetic, done to help get the power to the ground effectively or to reduce the effects of heat soak.

And, yes, I do very much enjoy this forum.

That's great! Then try and keep your story straight with correct MPH and time, yes post the time slip so we can end the speculation and banter. Also might want to update the MOD list on your car to end the confusion...

Anyways, the search was easy...Google "garagelogic gt500" and see what comes up.

Just trying to keep the thread honest to those that were originally interested in the thread for "New 2010 Camaro 1/4 Mile Record - 11.549 @ 120.6 (now 11.29) " that turned into another "my GT500 is better" thread.

As soon as I get home from work this afternoon and dig through my desk to find it, I will get it scanned and posted up.

As for the modification list, I think you've already covered everything that has been done to the car.

To the OP, I do apologize for my part in taking this thread way of topic. I, too, am interested in seeing and documenting the kinds of times the Gen5 is putting down and how the owners are getting there. I even started a thread awhile back to help centralize the data, but somehow it got merged with another thread with a similar intent and now it's just confusing to try and keep up with. (Thanks, mods!)
