Whats up guys? So I never had a chance to run a zr1 on the highway and was wondering if anyone has ever ran a Shelby? I have huge respect for the zr1 and z06 and funny enough have not raced one in my first year of owing my Shelby....Here is a quick pull 2-4th gear, spinning a touch so was baby shifting, it was cold out 45deg....If anyone has any comparable zr1 speedo vids love to see!

Honestly I think you'd have a tough time against one. Should get a bid with better shifting to be able to make a better comparison. It took my car in the high 14-15sec area to do 40-155/157 at the last 1/2mile event.

And here's me vs a stock zr1

And me vs a stock 13 GT500, I know your modded but still

Nice kill

I literally raped a stock 2013 gt500 in my stock zr1 on the canadian mile!

shelby needs nearly 700rwhp to stay next to a stock zr1 from a roll. Ask me how i know

narush

LMFAO

evo8power

im pretty close to that which is why I was curious.

gkzr1

What are your mods?

ZBADESTZ@Straightline

Is this you?

narush

Ahh damn - I hope that was just a head gasket?

nice ride, on paper the cars are a close match but what hurts you is your weight disadvantage, if you come across a bad driver you might take the lead and stay there otherwise if the guy can drive you will more than likely lose

assuming everyone is stock of course,

timmyZ06

Stock for stock GT500 is nowhere near the Zr1! Zr1 driver need to really sucks!

Yes, that apparently white plume looks like coolant. Ouchie!

Raced a Whipple GT500 putting down about 750whp on NT01R to my pulleyed ZR1 at 600 whp on Cups from 40-130ish. Stayed pretty even.

This goes all the way back to the race I had with a pullied/tuned '03 Cobra many, many years ago. He was making ~450rwhp to my 337rwhp bolt-on LS1 '01 C5 Vette and I was still barely pulling on him, just barely..we were effectively dead even with a slight edge to the C5. But he had over 100rwhp more. Weight, gearing, aero make a big difference when comparing a Mustang to a Vette.

That said, I think the '13+ GT500 cars are sweet and what a monster of a 5.8L supercharged engine. I still like my LS9 better, but bang for the buck the GT500 is a fun street car for the guy/gal who enjoys straight line acceleration/drag racing and doesn't plan to run hot laps at a local road course.

i agree!!!!!!

heres my breakdown of preference, but the second 2 are almost exacly the same

ZR1>Shelby>Z06

timmyZ06

Don't post that on SVTP forum, you'll get ban

If money and space wasn't an issues, i would own every single hi-PO car GT500 included!! But i had to make a choice! I had a choice between a brand new 2013 GT500 for 70 000$ or a barely used 09 ZR1 for 5 grands more humm......

svtkeith

Yeah I would place them like that also in a drag race..just wonder where the 08-10 Viper SRT-10 coup would place with those 3..I would say ZR1>Viper<Shelby>Z06.

svtkeith

Yep!!....
