2020 GT500 goes 10.6@133!!!

[hellno]

They do have a nice dual clutch assy
It will be an expensive repair as well , but I’ll make good money in it because transmissions is one of the services we provide at my shop

Seems like a cool enough car which will be over-optioned and under-utilized in the hands of a few select owners. Sound familiar?

I'd rather have two of these:

Just be happy there are cool cars out there.

The guy in the video said you can buy it in just a few weeks. When did this video come out? Damn the guy who ran his GT500 10.6 on April 3rd sure was lucky to get his so quickly.

I am just highlighting what you do get for your money in these cars. I'd even bet the rods are high quality forgings.

Hmmm... lots of nice parts going into these things:

As far as I know they are. I bought a 2019 GT350 because it has a lot of the same upgraded internals as the GT500. I'm thinking bout twin turboing the GT350 and spent a lot of time on the phone with the guys at Fat House Fab. They said the 2019 Voodo is good up to over 12lbs of boost with the turbos. They have a video out on it somewhere. GT500 motor should be very strong.

Has the gas guzzler tax gone up in the last couple of years? Mine was $1700 in 2016 (and gets 18-25 mpg)!

And it still is not made on a Ford production line!

I’m tracking 1,170 GT500’s have been ordered so far. If the car can 60’ like a RE on DRs, they are in trouble.

They will be close but it will be up to the drivers.

I love that Ford, Chevy, and Dodge are bringing their A Game to the performance wars. No matter which car grabs your attention, all it does is help the consumer win. The new Mustang Shelby GT500 is beautiful, and it’s going to be one hell of a car. I look forward to more reviews and side by side comparisons.

All for the A Game, just too bad it's not affordable for the average joe. I know a bit of economics, so this is not a straight comparison, but it is useful. 1966 Mustang 289 hard top - (as equipped) $2800 - that equates to about $22-23,000 today. Nothing we can do about it, but still an interesting illustration.

Lol.... I’m gonna smack that GT 500 around 426 times. Look at my avatar.... 😂🤪😉
Go Mopar baby.....

Thanks for the info.

133mph trap speed proves it has a power to weight advantage over the Redeye. It is quicker than a Redeye with traction and some seat time, its just physics.

Stock Redeyes with DR only are doing 10.3@133.

On a shitty DA? 2800 to be exact.

A little bird told me that the car wasn't completely stock.
The car had aftermarket wheels, cold air kit, tune and race fuel....
Just sayin.

DA was not 2800 on April 3 again please read my post. The release runs were all 10.9s @130

So on a Dodge forum some have to defend Dodge🤔.
I'm not as brand loyal as my user name implies.
Now this thing better be quicker than a HC. Less weight and more power plus 5 years to work on it.
You take the one guy that ran a good number and of course everyone will.😀
A stock HC on p-zero's in 32-33f temps ran a 1.75 60' to a 10.93@130 almost a year ago. Slower yes but not as much as many make it out to be. Yes better da for the cat but full throttle had to wait for 3rd gear.
Now toss a drag radial on and that goes to 10.5's. So now it's a race in favor of the heavier lesser powered car. Why wouldn't you give the cat that race. Most run a high 10 or so. But then again most of these GT500's have run 11's.
Oh sorry I forgot...that one guy ran a 10.6. 😀
Don't get me wrong I think it's a great car, always did. Just not for me as it's too small.
But it won't be putting as big a hurt on our cars as some think.
Ya it will probably beat most HC's but mine will put up a fight.
If I had a Redeye then it would be a better fight for the Dodge.😀

It's funny in previous conversations on the subject. I was told I was wrong because most stock cats don't run the numbers I run. But here this one guy ran a 10.8 and a 10.6 so this is what they all run even though mostly everyone else runs about 10.9 to 11.2.
As I also mentioned before the quickest car doesn't always win the drag race.😀

Stock Redeyes with DR only are doing 10.3@133.

That is correct and demonstrates the Redeyes' horsepower on the top end is no BS.

The superior torque of the RE engine is what propels the apparently heavier vehicle to a BETTER (quicker) ET in the quarter.

So now let's see them lined up in 1/4's 1/2's and mile runs against the Mopars. Eric, my cash is on you at 2800'. Invite me in, I'll be your agent.

I am sure Moparjim and I will see a few 2020GT500s at the track next season. We will show you what happens in the real world.
