GT06 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I ran at Beaver Springs in the spring and the best I could do was 13.9 at 109mph with no mods; it spun in 1st and 2nd. I hope you did some suspention upgrades all that power won't mean anything if you can't get it to the ground! He has full suspension from Evolution , he should hook .What part of central Pa. are you from ? We're from Centre county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkyjt Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Greetings from the state of taxes-Pennsylvania. My GT500 came in last week and its in the garage with the blanket over it to keep it toasty. Vista Blue with white stripe, interior upgrade. I have an older restored 65 2+2 with a four speed and 289. I am use to a longer throw for the shifting, I think I missed a gear pulling out of the dealership, all the sales people probably had a good laugh. Can't seem to get use to the short throw for gears and the same for the clutch. Anyhow, after driving some, I like the feel of the car, and "powering through the curves" brings new meaning. Car is tight. Awesome machine. Big smile in Pa paknght(Mike) I also have a Vista Blue with White Stripes in Montgomery County,PA. I will be sending it SW Florida next week.

mr4teth Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Sorry guys little late to chime in but I'm from the Burgh proper.... 07 Alloy Metallic. I know its probable too late in the season this year but does anyone know if there's going to be a GT500 gathering/race/car show in the area anytime soon? It would be nice to see another GT500 on the road. I feel like the lone wolf here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just hoping for good weather so I can get a few more drives in before covering her up for the winter. If I hear of a cruise or track day were there will be GT500’s I will make sure to post it here. If its nice on Saturday, if you are in the Cranberry area, you may just see another one cruising around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to see another GT500 on the road. I feel like the lone wolf here. I'm just over the line in Washington County. I have almost 13000 miles on mine, most of which were logged on local roads. Of course you have to look closer at mine being it is a 'vert without over-the-top stripes. I've spotted 5 different GT500s on the road in Allegheny and Washington counties, and saw a bunch (well, if you consider 5 a bunch) at the Zelie Flashlight drags in Sept. I think there have been a few at the Friday Night shows at Mineral Beach, too. PM me if you want to get something local started. I'd be game. I will probably be putting mine up on jack stands soon for the winter, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 I'm thinking about cruising up to Raceway Park NJ. Sat. Nov 3rd. with the 07'Shelby For the big Fords at Englishtown Show. Then the Following Sat. Nov,10th is the Muscle Car Drags at the same Track for 60's & 70's Stock Appearing Cars. I plan on driving the 70' Mach 1 to that one.

Charles Stunkard Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hmmm, as the snow flies this thread has gotten awful quite. Now that they are away for the winter, it is time to start the mods. Hope to get my suspension quieted down and my exhaust a bit louder? See you all in the spring when she comes out of hibernation!

Charles Stunkard Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Oh yea, I am also looking for a place to get some chrome work done? There is a local guy here but he is very very expensive so would love to hear alternatives if anyone has any. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500_Grad Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I actually got to drive her yesterday. I was quite excited. I pulled her back 2 feet so I could get around her in the garage, then drove her forward 2 feet. ...wait! Actually the garage my car will stay in is about 75% done, hopefully within the next 2 weeks it will be done, and I can sneak her over so I will have some room to do work on her. But don't tell Mother Nature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did run into a Jeep RT8 WOW fast fat little SUV! To bad this weekend the weather is going to suck! Sorry I missed you. On Saturday I had my 05 Mustang GT and my son over at Quaker City Drag strip in Ohio. We had a blast and beat most of the cars we ran against except an 07 GT500. He was running stock tires and I was running drag radials so I had him off the line, still in front at 60 foot mark, he caught me at the 1/8 mile mark and left me like I was sitting still. Will have to take my GT500 next time. Hopefully this weekned will not be a total wash-out. On the subject of Jeep SRT8's... I raced one last year at the flashlight drags and beat him on more than one occasion but they are pretty damn fast for a Jeep. You live up this way or down in the city?
