Need for Speed Racing Games

Evolution Performance's now famous Twin Turbo Shelby GT500 is back a more incredible then I've seen it ever before. I had the wornderful chance to see this beast at the Philly Auto Show earlier this year and it never ceases to amaze me what these guys do to thier Mustangs.

This new GT500 now produces over 1200 HP and 1000 LBFT of Torque and is officially the world's fastest GT500. Even better, these guys just happen to be located right next to my hometown in good old PA. And it seems ever time I stop by and check on them they shave a second off thier 1/4 mile time!

If you have a Ford, wether it be a Mustang or otherwise, and live in the Philadelphia area, I'd definately look into these guys if your considering turning your Ford into something wicked fierce with a lot of bite.

I don't think that people on this forum have that kinda scratch

Thats awsome hopefully they go to the mobil one world ford challenge this year, so I can check it out.

A tubbed out drag car should be able to pull 7s. There are TT Vipers and Vettes that match the 18lb boost time without tubbing and massive drag tires. I find that more impressive tbh. If I had my choice I'd take one of the other cars that still have a street legal setup that they showed at the end.

I smell a Ford hater.

Of course TT Vipers and Corvettes get better times. They've got bigger engines.

It could probably run as fast as your vettes and vipers without being tubbed out. Your viper and vettes aren't in the 7's though.

Youtube young padawan, youtube.

@ Stingray

I youtubed young padawan and it seems he fought Darth Vader. Maybe his light saver is really fast.

I'm not sure why you find that more impressive. The drag coefficients are much better in the Viper and the Vette then the Shelby and CoGs are much lower. The Shelby is a 2+2 pony while the Viper and Vette are 2 seater purpose built sports cars. Let's not forget this is the first 7 sec Shelby GT500.

They have a black TT 07 GT500 that's street legal without all the crazy aero and huge tires running eights as well. This car retains 100% of factory Ford 5.4L Modular engine, nothing was changed. Suprising that it can handle the 1000 HP made by the turbos. This Shelby was declared the fastest GT500 on a stock motor when it started producing 8s. Sorry, Stingray but in this case I'll have to disagree as I find the Shelby more impressive in both situations.

This tubbed out car is definitely purpose built. Those fat pro drag tires wouldn't allow for regular transmission or suspension to fit and don't forget the sliver tires in the front. Have to disagree on 100% factory on the motor, too.

There's no way they slapped twin turboes on a factory 5.4 with nothing changed. It would need custom heads, at the very least, to handle that power. Now the black TT GT500 you describe, that's more like it. Guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Street legal cars that can run 8s will always catch my attention before any car that can only run on a drag strip running 7s.

It seems you miss understood me. The 7 sec car is pupose built, I'm not refuting that. I'm also unsure of the engine situation. How much the 5.4 has changed on the new TT I'm unsure of, the stock motor is on the old black car and has been twin turbocharged as well. I've seen the car in person and it has an very large amount of work done to it.

Here's a pair of pictures I took, excuse the poor quality, lighting in that booth wasn't nominal:

The 8 sec is street legal and I had the glory of seeing it multiple times per day during my daily commute to and from work. I've seen the car on the dyno, off the dyno, on the road, in the lot, all exposed. This car was street legal and pushed massive hp and torque figures all to the rear tires.

The Ford 5.4L is not the only engine to push massive horsepower when it's unmodified. JZ Supra motors for example have been known to push insane numbers without ever changing the block . What about an engine from the car in your name? Like the 427? That engine has pushed out way more the factory claims unmodified. With the 5.4, it's already boosted so it can handle the boost and obviously massive horsepower.

Just because something is engineered and released at much lower doesn't mean it's all it's capable of. And with Fords Mustang line-up, there's a lot of factory Ford Racing bolt-ons for Drag and Road racing and are regularly available so the engines, both 4.6 and 5.4, should be able to handle way more then the 300 hp and 500 hp figures respectively that the cars produce off the lot.

In the end seeing is believing I guess. If only you could see the car up close, you'd be quite suprised. These guys don't cut any corners with thier work. Every step from the blueprinting up to the tuning and then the roll out.

I read up a little and the 7 sec car definitely has cnc custom heads. I have no doubt the stock blocks in most sports cars can handle more hp, but if they're pushing 1000hp, the heads just can't take it.

Tried digging up some info about the black TT as well. They are definately good and they can't exactly fudge thier claims since they do race the cars and they have been featured in plenty of mags.

The black TT's engine is 100% bone stock internally all the way from the oil pan to the lower intake. It produces 1019 RWHP and 1016 RWTQ. The transmission is an automatic. How they kept it streetable is beyond me. They drove that car a lot on open roads. Not like here and there, a lot. I highly doubt they'd risk losing a car they put so much effort into. The following vid shows the car setting 8 sec 1/4 mile and small clip of driving on the open road:
