7M-GTE vs GT500

[Sinful7m]

gt500's dont totally impress me i saw a younger guy at the local spot here in jersey a couple of weekends ago with his gt500 running his mouth tossing money around and a nice notchback strolled by for a bit and took his money with ease i believe it was a nicley built 306 gt500's are pretty sluggish if you ask me when im done with my final settup im looking to hunt these regularly and its pretty sick that you didnt back down from him nice kill even if you only had him by a fender"winnings winning it doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile" lol pretty corny but its true

GT500 was first produced in 2007 (later stuff) and was rated at 500hp (not brakehp) with mid to high 12sec quarter times.

If it was a 98ish then it wasnt a gt500. But Ford claimed you bolt on their supercharger and headers to achieve 500hpon these (5.4l that is). Plus this generation was a couple of hundred pounds lighter than the new ones.

Just some info.

i know the 98ish wasn't a Shelby. That first mustang was a normal GT. The one behind it was the Shelby. As (im pretty sure) i stated befor, I thought at first it was just a Shelby GT till it took off. After passing to get infront after both making the right i noticed the GT500 vinyls on the side of the car running down the side skirts. I work for a ford dealership and have seen a few GT500's and know what i saw and messed w/. In my book, GT500's aint shit. Its all about that 7M Supra :evil2:

SN95s typically weigh between 3000 and 3500, ranging from the lightest coupe to a heavier vert. S197s range from 3300-4200. 96-98 GTs are about the slowest damn Mustang ever made lol the coupes literally run mid 15s, with verts between that and 16s. GT500s with decent drivers run low to mid 12s, with good drivers banging out high 11s. GT500s only share the block with regular Ford 5.4s. Lotta misinformation in this thread.

The "big recall" mentioned above was for one year of a limited production run model (99 Cobra). Not a big deal. There was an issue with the heads. Most of the Cobras made have been underrated if anything (93-95, 01, 03-04, 07+). 93-95s typically make about 40hp more than stock, 01s are estimated to make about 20hp more than stock, 03-04s usually dyno with more rwhp than they're rated for lol

You're nuts. GT500 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the average MkIII Supra. Far, far better platform to build upon.

Partialy true... anything else youd like to add? :sarcasm:

Yeah, does your little cartoon car have 89+ side pieces with no center section? I always thought that'd look good in person...

no. the whole car is a pre 89. didn't feel like mutting it out w/ post 89 parts. Id like to keep mine looking like an 87.

I don't mean to call bs or call you a liar. Good race! But.. I was just thinking after reading and it seems as though there are far too many kill stories that always end up with " after i passed him he turned right off ". Any encounter i have ever been in or my friend has been in, me being a passenger - this has never happened that the guy has made the next turn off or turned off an exit. I'm just skeptical, thats all.

^Turns out people dont just go driving for races. Chances are the reason their in the car is to transport them to a specific destination by a specific time. If they happen along a race, great.
I know Im not going to follow some dude in a old jap car 10 miles in the wrong way to suck his dick and tell him "better luck next time little dude", Just to get to work late, get fired and have to sell my kick ass sports car.

Shalbys are great cars, the same as supras. But the difference in them is like chocolate candy bar and sou gummy bears. Both great, both different.

not what i'm saying...

think about it for a min. They catch a light. they race and he turns off right after they get done racing. I guess it's just coincidence most of the time then.


anyways.. good race and it must feel nice to hang with a car like that.

 

[Poodles]

Lots of people turn off because they're butthurt they lost.

 

[Moy]

I only turn off after a race if there is a cop around

well, let me remind you that in post #5 i said:

let me emphasize the point that at no point in time has it been said that this is a kill... the GT500 probably was just messing w/ me but that being said it was pretty cool.

FullNelson's more than likely right. He wasn't looking for a race (I was), he was probably just on his way somewhere and ran into someone eager to have fun.

Saw a GTR yesterday. Wish I was in the supra so I could've posted how that little skirmish went but was sadly in my sisters Hyundai Accent.

I saw one run at Mission, don't think there would of been much of one

But yah, not everyone has time or really gives a F*** about try to race on the street. Fullnelson got it.

true... atleast not real street racing. its usualy just step on it for a gear or two to see how much pull ya get and off the gas... most street races aren't really races, just a show of speed.

 

[FullNelson]

To be fast takes alot of time, money, brains and patience to get the car set up right. To be a stop light racer, you just need to know when to catch the other car off guard right before your turn.

Congrats on the race, the GT500 isnt a car to be taken lightly, and clearly by not having had him rip you a new one, youve proven to be on the right path with your Supra (the road not to becoming a street light racer):bigthumb:

start around ~2:45

So actual RWHP is 447. Nice to know that my car isn't far behind on pump gas (on a stock 7M engine), and even a little bit lighter weight! :aigo:

 

[MA70witBoost]

Ever since the first time I owned the supra I knew It had potential. I'll take on anything thats down to mess around. You never know what your gonna get. Love messing w/ exotics or muscle cars. Even If i think off the bat that imma get raped its always nice to know by how much and how much you woulda needed to take them out. As soon as im back on the road expect me to go hunting more exotics :evil2: :naughty:

 

[Turbo Habanero]

should of raced it in the accent dude :wtf:

GT500's are pretty nice. They run mid 12's on average stock.. But they are so easy to mod too. Getting them to high 600's rwhp is not too hard..
With that said, I would like to see what I could do againt one.. A stock one
