How fast is a GT500? Check this out. Spent Saturday at Beaver Springs raceway in central PA. Great afternoon. I was up against a GT500 in the right lane. Beat him off the line but by halfway down the strip all I could see was taillights.
Tha was a damn good run though. Great start, great shifting. Just remember what you were up against. Otherwise...great run

Those GT500's are so easy to make fast. Tune, and CAI and you can get 70hp. You should be able to run with him on a road course or buy the supercharger for your SGT and then you can run in a straight line with him. Good run though!
next time at least give the guy a thumbs up or somethin...maybe holla "good run" at him...it was like he stopped to say somethin and you guys just turned away

hahaha........that's a gt500 for ya. i raced my friends modded GT500 at the track a while back too. it felt exactly the same way as watching the video. being at full throttle and having him just sail away from you.
Stock they run mid 12's at 110-115. What did he run or did you not get a slip?

mmmm....three things.......500s have about 200 hp more than you, you had your buddy riding with you ( I noticed you didn't give him a helmet), you beat him up the return road

I thought I heard at the end of the video the passanger say 12.3.
I could see 12.36 in the video and it looked like 121mph, obviously not stock.
