Ok what about when it comes to street say I do go the gt500 route what’s better street wise gt500 or the new gt350?
that's a drivers race both cars are within 30 hp of each other but the gt500 is gonna be a shit ton cheaper than the gt350. If you were to put the difference in price into the gt500 you'd whoop their ass.Ok what about when it comes to street say I do go the gt500 route what’s better street wise gt500 or the new gt350?
Now you're just window shopping.Ok what about when it comes to street say I do go the gt500 route what’s better street wise gt500 or the new gt350?
Just get Jason's Mustang that I linked to in my first post on this thread.
600+ hp & ft/lbs for $20K (or less), you won't touch it with anything else price wise.

You'll have a show car that nobody will walk by without taking a long look and guaranteed not to have one similar at any show.

I’m deploying in like a month so it’s kinda useless for me to buy soemthing right at the moment but I’m just seeing options and what I should focus on saving the big bucks forAgreed. Look at the list of mods.... it's 2 miles long. There is no way in hell you could do what he has done for < $50K. For $20 K, he's literally giving it away.
If everyone is saying all that power is useless why are people constantly trying to get more? And these new Shelby’s and everything else starting off in the 600-700s.
On the street, with a 5 speed, no traction in 1-2-3rd gears. You finally get your traction in 4th gear. On a 6 speed, you won't get traction till you hit 5th gear. One big spin fest. The best you can do on the street is wide drag radials... and rear tire pressure a bit on the low side. With wide rears, and a lot narrower fronts, it will tend to over steer. Kinda tough to set it up for drag racing on the street / strip, then the handling is screwed up on the twisties. Set the suspension up for the twisties, then it's not optimized for drag racing. With 400+ hp, one drop of rain, and it's all for naught, and damned dangerous.
Even in the dry, you can get in over your head in a split second, then it gets away from you. Then it's game over.
I feel like most of these commenting you don’t need more then 400hp have never experienced it
I feel like most of these commenting you don’t need more then 400hp have never experienced it and Pentalabs just straight ridiculous comments are a joke.

So you're saying that a bone stock 2011+ 5.0 is dangerous in the rain? Yes, decent tires make a difference. No, you don't always need drag radials. But you do need a decent tire. Why do you have to automatically run a narrow tire up front? I'm sure a lot of people run a square set up or close to square with high horsepower. It's all about the overall set up.
I've driven a 600hp car in the rain on drag radials and lived to tell about it. The car didn't get squirrelly and it didn't suddenly spin out while going down the freeway. But then I didn't drive like an asshole and my tires had tread.
Look, im not trying to be negative, but its your power plant that sucks. Sorry other 3v guys..... any argument you want to make just says a bunch o money later to get where a 12-14 is already. They do look similar in design, although not the same ......I own a 12, got mine for 17k with all the upgrades on it already, Steeda lowering spring, steeda front adjustable struts, steeda adjustable rear coil overs, Steeda adjustable pan hard bar, Boss intake Manifold, Airaid cold air intake, Corsa axle back, full oem CA Special interior, raxiom deck w/ nav and back up camera, 20 inch shelby razor wheels. Car was not over built but common sense things were done. 79000 miles were on it when i got it, all for 17k
