Color scanner is on the fritz, so I'll try to post them later. In the meantime, here's a B&W teaser scan.

Unless, everyone doesn't care if its in black and white, I can scan the whole thing but I'll need someone to host.

 

I can barely read it but what is the Shelby GT500E?? Do they have pictures of the car? Are those actualy test numbers or are they estimates?

 

And why does the GT-R with 140 more hp than the stock GT run slower times?

 

Wow...this should make for some interesting discussion.

I'm very happy at the 4.9sec 0-60 run. That's quick.

 

I'm fine with black and white as well.

 

The GTE-500 is Eleanor from Gone in 60 Seconds. There's a company in North Dallas that makes 'em.

Since TMS has imposed image upload size, I'll need someone to host these.

 

Oh, okay, I thought all 6 were based on the S197.

 

Good numbers. But G.T.500E (Performance) is only $129,000, not $147,000. Great to have some proof it runs under 5 0-60.

 

yeah all but the Eleanor clone which is based off of a 67 frame (but with modern mechanicals). I love the language of the article, too, which keeps referring to the factory GT as a "supernatural." The fact that it runs neck and neck with the 35K Steeda, whips the 40K Saleen, and somehow squeeks by the $175,000 GT-R is just mind blowing....

I love it. B)

 

Okay car guys....what are the possible reasons a car of marginally more weight, with more horsepower and more torque would run more slowly?

 

It would be nice to see the entire HP/torque band. Max HP at 7k is pretty high.

 

I know why......it's cause THEY CAN"T DRIVE FOR poo!!! They could only get 15.1 out of a mid-14sec V6 but can get mid-13's on the GT??

God they are inconsistant and horrible........this is why I trust MMFF for my Mustang times.

 

This is cool! What exactly is the GT-R?

 

 

D'oh! wn3d:

Thanks holderca1. For some reason I figured that the concept wouldn't be available for a road test like that, so I didn't even consider it. I'm an idiot.

 

Just watch, the GT-r is the closest thing to what the next GT500 will look like.

 

The automatic v6 is not a mid 14 second car.

 

Uhhh... It listed the V6 as a 15.1 second car. :scratch:

I know. He claimed it was a "mid-14sec V6" with a better driver though.

 

It's got to be something in the suspension or tires, both the
Steeda, and Saleen corner better than the stock GT, but they
are both slower 0-60!
