GOTVENOMGT500 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Thanks for the heads up!!! I'm all excited just to hear the GT500 exhaust on TV. My program guide says it's a turbocharged 2010 Chevy Camaro 1000 HP challenging a Supercharged 2010 Shelby Mustang GT500 in Texas. Better be evenly modded or it's not much of a challenge.

Cdvision Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Winner GT500 !!! Both freakin' amazing cars.......190 MPH in the texas mile!!!! WOW!!! It sure would be awesome to have a tire manufacturer as a sponsor. lol I am suspect of the power ratings of both cars. From what I saw it looked like they were closer to 800 HP.

Colleton Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I am suspect of the power ratings of both cars. From what I saw it looked like they were closer to 800 HP. Yeah. According to the show, the power adders for the GT500 were a tune, 2.8L SC, intercooler, LTH and 3" exhaust. I don't see how they made 1000 HP with that? Maybe I just don't know enough.

BigDan Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I was really worried once I saw the trailer, 1000hp twin turbo Camaro vs 1000 hp 2.8L KB w/ headers ?? Thanks god the Camaro's numbers were over inflated like the GT500's 1000 hp on a 2.8L with minimal mods GT500. You'd think the speed channel could find a dyno in the LA area on there Supercar Showdown TV show to back these numbers up like Motor Trend and other do on there little youtube channel.

blazeone Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 They were probably figuring apprx. 850rwhp with is close to 1000 flywheel hp. Hey it's hollywood, still enjoyed the show and the GT500 showing it's tail lights to the camaro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axo250 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Battle of the Supercars rocks! I've seen three episodes and its amazing what is made out there. On a note from last night's show, that car was beautiful. I love the Silver/Black combo and the Wheels/Tires/Brakes were awesome!!! Anyone want to buy me some of those rims? I am surprised it took longer for it to stop than the Camaro. I noticed blue valve covers so I assume it was a 2011. With the massive disk/caliper setup I would have thought it would stop much quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach 1 1970 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 The sounds were just AMAZING , WOW,OMG , HS and you get the picture !!! It made you want to go drive your car like a mad man. Those wheels and the way the Shelby sat was just perfect. That guy has balls to drive that thing @ 190 MPH cause SVT put a limit @ 155. Not sure SVT ever drove one that fast. Hell the Ford GT in stock trim can barely hit 201 MPH. That was just a balls to the wall show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdvision Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Great series!! I think that Paul Tracey is a better overall driver than Tanner Foust. I would have liked to have seen the out come if Tracey had driven both cars or if he drove the GT500 and Foust drove the Camaro. I think the GT500 would have won by a larger margin.

2sharpie Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I'm assuming it started out as a Super Snake?? After one of the commercial breaks, they should a brief glimpse of what looked like a signature plate (with Carroll Shelbys signature) that said "Shelby GT500 Super Snake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraKaz Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Thanks for posting that . Both cars are making awesome power . Just goes to show how hard these high HP and Torque cars are to launch , even with Pro's driving with a decent set of tires . I also would have like to have seen the drivers swap vehicles .

GOTVENOMGT500 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I'm looking forward to this week's show Dodge Viper Vs. Corvette ZR-1 No doubt Mustangs are my first love but the Corvette in particular the ZR-1 and ZO6 are bad ass machines. I'd love to someday pick up a used ZO6 Carbon Edition...especially if they end up making black!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb67 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Is there any way to order this episode on Blu-Ray in HD from the show's production company? Anyone know?

kb67 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Found the braking different with a set of 6 piston brakes not as good as you might have thought the GT500 would do. Tracy said as much Camero still had stock setup think its got Brembos as well. Would have been cool to see a Griggs equipped car run in this head to head. To me those cars are the most well rounded that can be achieved. I was suprised the limiter was still on the shelby if that tuner had been tweaking on it. sounds like it had the KB tune in it. And the best part of the video is the GT500 hitting the 3rd gear powerband and rolling out but the camero was coming back at the end top speeds were not but a couple mph differnet.
