.

Actually, that particular GT500 in the video was factory rated at 500 hp for 2008.
IMO, that video means nothing because of one being modified and the other not.

A good video would be a stock 2013 GT500 (rated at 662 hp) vs. the new 2013 CTS-V.

Now that would mean something.

Awe yes, Bretv that screen name looks familiar. When I was looking at my options I stumbled across your car in some old threads on some web sites. I probably would have built an 03 Cobra had I not picked up at BIW Cobra Jet instead. Doing the math it had the HP to run the numbers and lord knows we have enough 4.6 stuff laying around the shop. I could have been racing sooner but the CJ was just too good to pass up and my wife really gave me a crappy look when I said cut up my 50k mile 03 Cobra.

I thank you for all the effort you put into getting the car accepted into the guide. I'm still surprised no one has built another one to make some waves with it.

D. Johns,

The guy I sold it to, pulled the G-Force out and sold it, also sold the good 9 inch 3rd member and strange brakes off the car. He put an auto in it and tried to drive on the street. He sold to a guy that ran it in the NHRA Unleashed series a couple races. Then he sold it to guy that called me a couple months ago, and supposedly going to make it a legal stocker again.

Maybe CC/AT should be considered??
Then no need for NHRA classification guide acceptance.

GM is coming out with the 3.6L turbo engine for Caddy in '14.
Thanks
