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

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.

wow.. that old man gets em

I TOLD YOU DON'T FUCK WITH ME!

Just watched that. Love it, especially the attitude from the women talking trash before then wanted to press charges after the beating. :lol2:

The old dude should press charges.

No way. He handled it like a man, unlike the punk. That's the problem with society today. It's done and over with, even though the guy who got his ass beat will remain bitter. No need to tie up the courts and waste tax dollars on it.

Oh I did watch the video. What I'm saying is that if you took a large bathrobe and wore it on the front of you, it could be a Snuggie as well.

Damiana (Turnera diffusa) has been used for thousands of years in Latin American cultures, ritualistically, as a sexual stimulant. Damiana is a shrub with small yellow flowers which grow in dry, rocky climates. It is generally found in the southwestern regional areas of Mexico, California and Texas. The entire bush gives off a characteristic aromatic scent that is due to the essential oil present in all parts of the plant. Believed to be an overall body tonic, Damiana affects the nervous system, acting as an anti-depressant. It sooths anxiety, nervousness and mild depression, and promotes a general feeling of well-being. Damiana also stimulates circulation which raises energy levels to alleviate fatigue and stimulate weight loss. Other known uses for Damiana are:

as a mild laxative, useful for relieving constipation

soothing headaches caused by menstruation

the thinning of fluids resulting from asthma, colds and flu

strengthening of the nervous and hormonal systems

Damiana is a commoly added ingredient to smoking mixtures and herbal tea blends. When smoked or drunk as a tea, it has a relaxing effect not unlike low doses of cannabis. Damiana has an ancient reputation as an aphrodisiac to increase and stimulate sexual appetite.

I know nobody cares, but I just broke in to the top 10,000 over all BOINC Distributed computing crunchers world wide. Apparently there is 1.9 million users world wide, so it is a fairly nice milestone. :woot:

Mark has donated some of his computing power and it has been a big help. I would love to see if handful of other SSA people could donate some of their unused processor cycles towards great causes like medical research, disease research, nano magnetic engineering, deep space mapping, quantum chemistry, protein folding, microscopic lattice evolution, prime number searches, artificial intelligence, and so on.

Beware though, it gives you a small natural high, so drink it in moderation and don't drive.
