Wasnt just a monster blower either. They had the motor pulled on this car on their FB page, but didnt say what they did. Again, the more money than brains club.
Horsepower numbers have seriously gotten out of hand lately.
For example, with a properly setup 03 Cobra making say....650rwhp, the car is capable of low 10, high 9 second slips.
All these 800-1000rwhp cars everyone is building nowadays are good from 100+mph and up. Any speed below that is just gonna put you in a ditch.

Lethal, Evo and other shops are pushing these cars in their development of parts and tunes. Things break. Sometimes at the fault of the owner/tuner/shop and sometimes it is because the parts are pushed passed beyond their design and operating parameters. And that car went 9's back in early July I believe.
That stock size blower on a 4v has run in the 9s before. But they are usually lighter cars. I am going to bet that GT500 with driver still weighs at least 3600-3700#. So stock motor with some bolt ons in the 9s is still impressive. Mainly because it is a stock motor.
This was all done with MM&FF for an article. I don't get that magazine so I am not sure if the project has come out yet with all the details.
And if all you guys think it is so easy to run 9's with power numbers on the lower side why don't your cars run 9's?
And for that fact where are all the other 2013 GT500 owners that have run into the 9's so easily?
4.0 crusher?
Where does it say the car had a 4.0 on the car for that 9 second pass?
I said that in response to the above picture, not the pass.
To have a comfortable, reliable, new car that goes 9's is extremely impressive. For some reason, lately it seems there are some jealous ass mo-fo's posting up on here.
Yeah, $100k can buy you that no problem. That was my point to this thread. Lethal pays cash for a new car, drops $10k into it then runs out with a pro driver and claims their "first blah blah blah in the 11's, 10's 9's" and so on records...gay. They did the same with the 2007 GT500, 2010 GT500, 11GT, 12 boss and now the 13GT500. Evo is locked into this battle with them too and Im sick of people cumming on these lethal/evo cars. If I had $20k and a pro driver on standby, my car would run 8's.
Exactly. And FREE press all over the internet. Where even people that hate what they are doing even make threads about it. LMAO
yeah, they dont have thousands into their cars....
Sure you can go fast on a budget, but of course it is easier and usually more reliable the more $ you spend.
Its an amazing car that they made better and ran a 9, kudos to them!
