This is on 93 octane with the stock motor.

Okay.... thats hot!

 

holy crap

 

Freakin insane! That was a huge sound difference. With just headers, cats, exhaust, gears, oh and 17psi!

Corvettes Vipers

 

Dear god that thing is a beast.
I piddled myself a little bit

 

That's nice, but it's still not what the KB Chevy's do.

 

Stock motor?

Last I checked those Mods + cost of car is still under a z06's price

 

A KB GT500 costs more than a Z06, lol. LOL, ok, not quite. Anywho, Lingenfelter performance has been putting down 800whp on stock longblock LS1's for years.

I still wouldn't recommend it, but a built third gen chevy is pretty cheap to do, certainly FAR, FAR under $75k.

Right now the L92 heads are the big thing because they outflow every head on the market except the LS7 head, and actually, they outflow the LS7 head when at or under .500 lift.

Fully Assembled, they are $441 each on crate engine depot.
A nice 4" stroke billet crank is $3500 or so,
the rest of the parts are pretty much peanuts other than whatever FI method you choose.

Point being, the GT500 is a nice car, but the modular Ford isn't all that special. And I'd spend $48k better than a stock GT500.

PS- LS7 Crate engine at crateenginedepot $12,995 + freight.

 

wait till the vette ss/blue devil comes out. 650 supercharged horses, fiberglass body, and a way better chassis then ford has ever dreamed of making

i love it when the ford guys come here to start it up.

you forgot about dealer mark up.. probably 10k right there, so refigure for 58k for a stock gt500 ( handles like **** BTW)

 

The Ford GT had a very nice Chassis. If the same car came with a SBC, I'd have a poster of it on the wall. lol.

 

I tried to trade the Cobalt in on one of them 2 weeks ago. But the dealers are charging 20K over sticker for them.

Lost the sale. Ill keep the balt for that kind of cash.

Later

 

still a sick car. im not a huge ford fan, but you cant argue with 700 something horses, heck, 500 hp from the stock car is wicked too!! if you hate on either of those cars you are not a car enthusiast, because both demand some respect.

 

yea car is nutsssss, these guys live like 20 min away from me, they did my exhaust

 

you are right about that.. but whats the fun in having a car that only goes in a straight line? that 700+ hp gt500 would have its ass handed to it by a stock z06 on a real race track. i've got the jan. 07 issue of road and track right here. everyone that drove it said the regular mustang GT handled way better than the gt500. that is sad. poor weight distribution resulting in terrible understeer is what they said.... understeer in a 500 horse rwd car? talk about crappy design..

just thought i might mention that a z06 with no mods, other than drag radials, ran a 10.8 in the 1/4

i agree. it gets props. but putting it in the same category as the Z06 is pushin it

you're right. that DISCONTINUED "supercar" did slip my mind. my bad.. but other than that, they haven't made a nice one.
-former mustang owner. -and what a sloppy slug it was

 

For all the nut swingers

MSRP of the most expensive car is top spending..no markups on either car...you can ALWAYS find a car at MSRP or under...esp a mustang or a corvette or a viper (quite possibly the dumbest arguement ever...the markup)

Stock bottom end vs stock bottom end

2007 vs 2007 model yr...were not talking built other model yrs

Were talking if I had the price of a new z06 to spend and didnt care about warranty...I could go this fast for msrp of z06 or this fast...the mustang will confidently run laps and be significantly faster in a straight line...not to mention will out handle a camaro or mustang or trans am and come in damn close to a stock ls2 corvette

When was the last time ur racing story started well i followed this corvete up into he mountains and we were side b sde neck and neck on the 2 lane road (not to mention most decent roads are 1 lane each direction)

understeer in a 700hp rwd car is impossible...throttle control much

 

That car that was DISCONTINUED because it didn't meet minimum safety requirements a year after it was designed supercar, lol.

djt - You're a car enthusiast, too. Why the hell do you car about MY 2007 versus MY 2007?
GM's engine's don't hold up stock as well because they KNOW exactly what they want them to be able to endure and use the quality of components they can get away with, not the best they could have. That's pretty common practice in a world were a cost reduction is EXPECTED year after year, even though the price of materials and labor goes up, year after year.

That said, there are 1200 horse Turbo LS1's out there on stock longblocks.

 

what did it need a cage or something?

i said in the stock 500 hp cobra... and in that car, there is quite a bit of understeer. don't cry. facts are facts

as far as the markup...
Manufacturers SUGGESTED Retail Price. we mark up Z06's all the time here. it happens. people pay it. i dont think you've ever worked in the car business.. cause you can not get a z06 for msrp or less anywhere on the east coast right now. i just looked it up on our virtual inventory. i assume the east cost trend holds true throughout the country.

 

I don't think they'd ever require a car to have a cage from the factory, lol. But, if you want to talk about MSRP and markup, we still have a 2005 GT on the showroom floor right now. MSRP is $166k, yet, it could be yours for only $220k, lol. Yes, it has been here a while, no I don't think it'll be leaving any time soon. Oh yeah, I'm in Wisconsin. Other than Special edition or limited edition cars, cars don't sell for over MSRP often, but those rare ones don't sell for near MSRP hardly ever.

 

That vid kicked ass.

thats nice... did it have a cage? cause otherwise it would get thrown off the track..

 

Thrown off the track AFTER it ran the 10.8, lol.

 

NICE! That thing sounded so badass! I hope my twinscrew screams like that when it's done!

 

Good vid, I still rather have a vette. I love how in the ford commercial, it pushes a Porsche Carrera GT to the side..lol.

 

awesome car...whats the name of the song in that video clip?

 

are you following my posts....?
