Shelby GT five hundo. ok so the 2008 GT500s run the 1/4 in 12.6, 12.8, 12.9 (looked at a number of sources to find a spectrum of results) and the 2010s run in the 12.4, 12.5 range high 12's is bolt-on LS1 F-body territory, low 12's is bolt-ons, stalled, and geared LS1 F-body territory for what the GT500 should be, yeah, it's only kind of quick You're comparing apples to oranges. The F-body is what 7-800lbs lighter. If you want to make that comparison, take the drivetrain from the Shelby and put it in a Fox body. You instantly have a 10 second car. I am making an apples to oranges comparison, but not in the way you're thinking. The Shelby is not a production Ford vehicle. It'd be more appropriate it compare it to one of the Berger Camaros. And weight is a factor of the car, you can't use that as an excuse. My Impala would be a 12 second car too if it dropped 2000 lbs. I'm not using weight as an excuse, just simply pointing out the fact why the Shelby is slower than the F-body. It's the same reason the new Camaro is slower, they're both too heavy. The GT500 IS a Ford vehicle BTW. It's produced on the same line as every Mustang. The only thing Shelby about it is the name. You can get them from Shelby though with a multitude of upgrades. Yep, they're all too heavy. I think it's a complete shame they (Mustang or new Camaro) can't be faster than a '02 Z28 Ah, did not know that. Can they be bought at any Ford dealership though?

too fucking slow 4.5 0-60 is slow? O_O Could add this? 07-09 Shelby GT500 Twin Turbo System - 650 to 1,200+ HP wait, was that Mustang a GT or a Shelby? if it was just a GT, then yes, they're slow if it was a Shelby, then I suppose they're kind of quick In comparison to what, the Camaro? Here we go again. . . 2011 is sure to hold a big surprise for the General again. yes, in comparison to the Camaro when I see stock 10 year old cars running almost a full second faster than a stock '08 GT, it raises eyebrows low 14's (what the '08 GT ran when stock) is slower than most stock LT1 cars and I hope Ford does step it up in 2011 (I still have to read the Hot Rod article on the new 5.0) as it will make the General do the same

not a fan of it on the new cars, but when you see it on a real E-body, it's nuts, the color glows in the dark

I love sexy black tires. I think I have used black magic a few times myself. I'd recommend not using any kind of tire shine. It causes weather cracking faster. really? Amazing I thought it protected it like armorall. Wild. I had always heard that the good tire conditioning products actually helped the rubber last... no?
