kirks5oh Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 the car is apparently a solid 11.5-11.6 car with anywhere from 123-129 traps depending on traction, launch control, etc. http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupes/1205_2013_ford_shelby_gt500_first_test/ dynoed 609 rwhp for 5.0 magazine video of reporters/mag editors/etc running the car repeatedly over 30 times in a row. it was pulling 11.8's the whole time, apparently i just need to figure out which color to get :fuckyeah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Yep, car is AMAZING!!! Kirk, are you getting the PP with the 200mph gearing or the more drag strip friendly gearing? i'm still up in the air as to whether or not i want another car payment. either way, the cobra will have to go. my wife has some pretty crazy requests in order for me to get this car---ah, the joys of being married i would get the power pack, track pack, recaros, and maybe not much more than that. no heated seats, no glass roof, and i'm up in the air about the sound/entertainment package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Sell the Cobra as a ported eaton car and sell me the whipple as sad as it is, i will probably trade the car into the dealership if i do this. we'll see. still up in the air about the car. for the difference in the amount i'd trade it in for, i'm not sure its worth tire-kickers/joy-riders/people blowing the car up and coming after me later. lol--silveraudimike has/had my ported eaton, i still have his stock eaton sitting in my garage, your bassani h-pipe sitting in the garage (had to get a different one when i went auto), and hal's bassani catback in my garage (car is solid rear now). :lolguy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Base price on a gt500 is $54kish i thought....? It is ($54k-base, depends on options), and dealers charging ADM's are stupid. To many cars being built and to many people already have locked in orders/deals at MSRP or less. These aren't going to be rare by anymeans....just depends who wants to be first on the block with one. From the sound of things, its to late. Many already delivered....one dynoed 613whp bone stock with 95-miles today... http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/2013-shelby-gt500-413/852318-dyno-time.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got-Boost? Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 A quick rundown: Base $54,995 coupe (Convertible- $59,995) + SVT Performance Pack- $3,495 = $58,490 + SVT Track Pack- $2,995 = $61,485 + Glass Roof- $1,995 = $63,480 + Electronics Package- $2,340 = $65,820 + Recaro Seats- $1,595 = $67,415 Shaker audio also but then again, who buys one with EVERY option? Give me PP, TP, and Recaro's... $63,080 (Invoice just above mid-$50k's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me PP, TP, and Recaro's... $63,080 (Invoice just above mid-$50k's) PP, TP, and recaro's here. my wife might insist on the electronics package, but i'm not a huge fan of the glass roof, and not a big audio guy.

Got-Boost? Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Same for me... Glass roof sounds cool but not for the price and 25-30lbs extra. Audio/Shaker mods aren't worth what you can get aftermarket... Now, I'd probably have to have the electronics package because you can't get dual zone climate control without it. That crap doesn't fly with the wife and my temperature differences...lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
