It's too fat, front weight bias, and still has solid rear axle. Even the 67-70 GT500 has double wishbone rears. The predicted .94g skidpad is pretty good if you're always driving in a circle.

It will be just fine no EVO nimbleness but it sure has things the EVO never will. Well cept mine will have an Xede/Smart/R compounds and racegas- So I guess they will have a bit in common.

Just a few little mods and they will be 700 HP. Sorry, the EVO can't touch that unless you want to spend Fort Knox.

Oh hell no. This car has the Ford GT motor that is slightly detunned. Think of it like the 4G63. Uncork it just a little and and it will rule the streets.


Don't get me wrong guys. I am and always will be a "Mustang guy". As well, I have defended the EVO to my witts end with the Mustang crowd dorks and they still think it's a POS. You and I both know... . But this new Shelby is undeniable in its performance capabilities. Best of all, no limited production and $40k will get you into one. Incredible.

Can you? That depends on a lot of things. The turbo you use to "Get to 420 AWHP" Ive seen some horrid ones that dont spool up quick. If your thinking of one of these new promising ones then maybe-- Of course your flexing an upgraded turbo, BPU evo to a slap bone stock GT500 and let me tell you with 1K and sticky tires were talking 100-150 more WHP in the cobra. We arent even getting into gearing

0-60 in 4 sec (projected time)
1/4 mile in 12.5 (projected time)
^--those numbers are gonna be pretty accurate, A nicely modded evo would be able to keep up with that if they were running good. It all depends on the driver, weather, tires, road, terrain, etc..

I'm gonna have to stick with the C6 Z06, a much better car imo. However, I will be pissed when someone walks me with a GT500 and a few $K in mods.

this car will be very fast and for the record, it does not have the same motor as the ford GT different block same head i beleive. and a different SC. now remember we are talking about apples and oranges these are two very different cars. rear wheel vs. all wheel. coupe vs. sedan. as far as which will be the better car.....that depends on the driver.
