ESS Supercharged E90 M3 Vs. GT500
#46
Thanks, Shane. I appreciate the information. I'm definitely impressed by the GT500s, that's for sure. But the 147 trap definitely confused me as it seems quite high considering the mods, power and weight.

I don't doubt that the car ran that, I just know it is not a simple blower swap car.
What changed from the video you showed where it trapped 139-141, to it trapping 147? How many times did it trap that high? If it was a one time thing, then it was probably a timing error at the track. That is why you have to run within a .1 of any record breaking pass to back it up before it goes in the record books.

A GT500 is a fantastic car my dad bought one not to long ago. In stock form they are kind of sluggish his is getting JLT CAI, 2.6 pulley, lower springs, and a tune. It already has a Ford racing catback which I think is way to quiet it needs a catless setup. His tuner said 560whp which would be good for mid 120 mph in the traps and good for a high 10 with a solid hook. I will be honest for a mustang they attract alot of attetion I went to a small ice cream store the other day and all eyes were on me when I pulled up. Im a mustang guy so to get this kind of attetion is something Im not really use to. All in all its one of my favorite production cars ever.
Ford did their homework on stock motored cars. There was one 03 cobra (Buster) that went 8's on a stock motor. It made 1000whp on a stock motor. My friends car will go low 9's on a stock motor with a GT42-76 and supporting mods.

You could also put a 4r70w in it for and over drive trans. Lentech makes one that supports 1500hp.

Bring the GT2 up to New York across one of the bridges to Long Island...
If you have an aggressive clutch pedal... Oh man..

I have nothing else to share with you at this point, and not in the mood to dig around either. These cars run those trap speeds. Face it. Sell your car and get the Shelby and see for yourself...

You are trying to make it seem like these cars trap over 140 easily, and it's just not the case. All the examples you guys are showing have significant work done to them aside from the blower swap.

I know what they can do, and we have plenty locally. You have the 2.8L mammoth, correct? What power are you making, and when are you going to the track?

The Evolution car is a bolt on car, of course it takes a lot of boost and bolt on mods....and drivetrain and suspension parts to run 8's. No one is disputing that, he was more referring to the capability of the engine. Running 8's with a never opened factory engine with bolts on is a huge achievement in my book.
