Any idea how that stacks up with the new Vette? 

[johngenx]

Base Vette runs 11.2. So slower, but when the Z-06 comes out, it'll be a mid to low 10s car.

What's the price of the GT500?

teenager + new GT500 = does not compute

lucky kid.

Sure did seem like a drama free run considering the time and speed. Impressive.

He actually daily drives a modified GT350!!

Rich parents that can't say no?

No idea but he does track the GT350 and his heel and toe is impeccable.  That is all that matters.

183K views.  How much would that bring in?

His channel can make $35-$60k a year.

Not enough to buy those cars with that IMO.

Damn that's quick!

Not too long ago, that kind of ET meant a non-streetable dedicated dragster.  Now it comes with a warranty.

Equal parts awesome and scary.

There was a quote from Throttle House.  It went something like "There is nothing like growing chest hair and pooping your pants at the same time."

This car pretty much sums that up!

That comment goes against a bunch of what I've been reading though. Saying the car is extremely easy to drive and accessible..

I guarantee most people here would just be smiling rather than pooping their pants.

I haven't been that fond of the latest Mustangs (I loved the last Boss 302) but this GT500 is pretty amazing.

The Yanks are really bringing the heat when it comes to performance cars.  The Camaros, the Mustangs and the Corvettes have some very track worthy versions, and Dodge has some stupid fast straight line beasts.

I think 700+hp would have anyone who's not used to that level of power pooping their pants.  700hp is a TON of power, no matter how well it drives.

I had members here drive the Supra. And while it "only" made 640hp, it ran similar times as the GT500 in the 1/4...and on race fuel quicker.

No member here who drove it pooped their pants..or made any such comment. Just smiles all around. And they had never driven anything approaching this power.

Sure, it took them 3 or 4 pulls to stay into it as they got used to the power, but that's about it.

I've had 1 500+ HP car in my life...I thought that was plenty.  My mom has never driven with me...and that's 30 yrs ago.     Shi# my kids 420 hp car is a lot.  Wish I was a rich kid though, both a 350 and a 500?  Jealous.  I balked at a $3.50 Hot Wheels GULF Mustang yesterday...fecking expensive!!

You get used to power quick and yearn for more.

This.

I had about 450hp.

Then jumped to 640hp. Was like "wow! Who needs more? "

A week later I wanted more.

[rrocket]

But if you’re going to want more at 650, why not want more at 450 and call it a day?  Either way, you want what you don’t have.  May as well want what you don’t have while having plenty and saving s few bucks, no?

Because in this case (Supra) you can have more for so little.

Plus and most importantly, the car was stupid, stupid fun...and who doesn't love a bit more fun?
