800 hp Mustang

[Formula413]

Bet it will weigh 3 tons and be slower than a ZR1

Really?

I'm not a ford fan either... but Ford cant be going too far off track starting with 800hp for any price much less under 100k

[ls6monte]

The previous GT500 Super Snake had 725hp with no warranty for close to 80k+? Not sure on price. Those cars are sleds!

[DavidS]

I don't know much about Ford (other than the F350 at work is a piece of junk) but Shelby American Inc is not part of Ford and they just work with Ford, correct?

Maybe this is similar to Lingenfelter working with Chevrolet?

[ZFreie]

My favorite part Shelby provides no warranty on the engine and transmission, in either case. Lol

[ILuvPizzaTimes10]

another toilet. haha best part No Warranty WTF! seriously!?!?! WTF!

[Formula413]

Yeah the no warranty thing is a joke. Pretty sure the ZR1 has a warrranty.

[ZFreie]

Yeah the no warranty thing is a joke. Pretty sure the ZR1 has a warrranty. It has a pretty good one I think for what 720hp? Isnt it a like 3 year 36000 miles?

[black heartbeat]

not a ford fan but to be fair the curb weight on the 2011 gt500 shelbly is 3800 lbs while the zr1 is 3300 with 630 and 705 with the hennessy package, idk sounds like a close call to me

If offered to drive both Id take the zr1 keys every time.

well the corvettes suspension system is so far superior to any other "high bodied" coupe like a mustang, camaro of challenger it's no contest in handling until you bring in some of the mid engine cars like the ferraris

Hahah

[DemonWithin99]

theres no warranty on that crap because Shelby knows whoever buys it will either wrapit around a tree or kill the drive train within 36kmi

[smokinss]

Like stated. You can't compare a vette to a stang interms of haandling. Like comparing apples to oranges, the vette is far superior over the stang.

Oh i agree, but for the price of the mustang id save and get a zr1 if i was making enough to consider buying a 100k car. I cant really see a good reason to get one lol.

[Formula413]

No way you could ever use all that power on the street anyway.

[ILuvPizzaTimes10]

really???? i can! Sideways at 100+ on route 24 south at about 3am!!!!

[ZFreie]

And into a guard rail, sounds right for a mustang owner ahaha j/k pizza

[ILuvPizzaTimes10]

no no im talking about the Vette Fuck the Stang!

[ZFreie]

no no im talking about the Vette Fuck the Stang!No way you'd crash a zr1, god would prevent it.

[ILuvPizzaTimes10]

tell that to Brent on LS1 Tech......... hahahaha

[ZFreie]

Clearly gods favor is no longer on chevy, id best go by a mustang then.

[ILuvPizzaTimes10]

I guess this sorta fits in with this thread...last night I was down at the Berlin Turnpike and there was a guy there with a GT500. He had a large copy of a time slip from LVD in the window. Keep in mind these cars cost more than Charlie Sheen's hooker tab and are supercharged. It ran a 12.6 at 112. Seriously. He also said he broke his drive shaft that night. It cut 1.9 sixty foots.

[ls6monte]

The GT 500's run around 12.4- 12.6 stock. They respond very well to mods. Open up the exhaust, intake and tune and they are mid 11's. Still slow for 60k! Too bad they weigh too much!

Guy at my old apartment had one, it was a really nice car. Guy was really cool to, tho he never drove it. Upsetting when cars don't get used, spent more time covered up then driven.

800HP mustang = 12.3 @ 250MPH 1/4 mile times. The car is lame and has been lame since the last 04 Cobra rolled off the line. Honestly I am more impressed by the new Mustang GT then Shelby's 2 ton piece of poo. But my choice, you keep em all and I'll take a Z06 since several people have put them in the 10's bone stock except drag radials. even the ZR1 hasn't done that yet

[ZFreie]

I feel there is a limit on usefull power in stock cars, never mind on street tires. 500+ hp and your asking for traction problems unless your running a slick and with a slick comes broken shit.

[smokinss]

If you can afford a Z06 or a ZR1 then you can afford broken shit. I dont care what anyone says. Hell I dont make a ton of money but when my shit breaks I still find a way to fix it.

Oh and the Shelbys can suck it!!!

But then its not a stock car ;) and woah, old school shelby is awsome, one of my fave cars is the 427 cobra from the 60s.

[smokinss]

Agreed the old school shelbys are cool and Ive got no beef with them. The new 5.0 is more impressive bang for buck wise then the gt500s in my book.

I would agree with this, to me shelby is a status thing now. I drive a shelby so im cool kinda thing. Same deal exotics. Most exotics arnt that mindblowing.

I cant wait for my 20,000$ car , to bitc# slap the sh!t eating grin off the sucker that buys that car, and is so unfortunate to run into it ,and me at a light.:b056fab2:

After rereading this , i hope no one took this as being cocky! If youve ever met me you know im not.

You and and at least I know damn well that 97% of the cars out there wont touch your car. I would brag a little to, you've earned it lol
