  • Here we are back at the drag strip with the 2020 Shelby GT500. Scott also came along in his GT500 Super Snake! Yes, we had to make sure to get some passes in together! All runs were for fun, and do not represent how truly fast these extremely capable cars are. As you can tell from watching, there was a significant unfair advantage. Nonetheless, it was so exciting being able to take these cars the drag strip together! I'm still dialing in my 2020 GT500, and the more I learn about it the better I get with it... So these experiences are very beneficial to me. As a hardcore road course enthusiast, this car has opened up the door to an entirely new world to me. DRAG RACING!

    There seems to be a lot of people commenting about the Super Snake.... The driver does not own the car, and it is his first time ever running it flat out. He was learning the car, as I was learning the GT500... The Super Snake is not an easy car to drive hard, because it has 1000 HP. It takes time to get used to it and to build the confidence. Unfortunately Scott (the owner) cannot drive it, because of his condition. So our friend was kind enough to get behind the wheel and drive that monster on track.

      Speed Phenom: What was the DA? What is the track elevation? Of course, if the track isn't prepped well, it'll hurt ETs. However, density altitude really matters. It's obvious conditions were great at the Motorplex. The 10.66 proves it.

      Yeah, many times a driver thinks "full throttle" is the way to win, it's all about pedal modulation. I think a good burnout and a short-shifting of 1st gear on top of not going full throttle would help him gain some confidence. Just improving technique will drop the E.T.s. Too many feel the need to impress right of the bat.

    This video goes to show you can have all the horsepower in the world, but if you can't put it to the ground it doesn't do you a bit a good. Funny thing, I was yelling at the beginning that your burnouts were way too short. Even at the end I felt they were still not long enough. It's important you get those tires really sticky, but then you already know that. Great video, keep them coming.

    Speed Phenom,
    I read or saw a video that Ford says to Line lock for up to 15 secs to heat tires up at the track(i'm no expert). Maybe run their tires and burnout more? Just a suggestion, bought a 2020 Gt350 two months ago, with GT500 coming in March/April. keep up the great work with your videos, my son showed me one of yours which led me to selling my SVO's and buying Shelby GT350 and now Gt500, cant wait.

    Dude resembles the actor in movie Baby driver lol. Very nice mustang! I used to run my built 01 Hayabusa and my 05 mustang GT at our track in Tennessee. Regardless of getting beat or winning,it was always a nice little adrenaline rush and tons of fun. Met alot of cool people and nice rides! Be safe! That car would be much more fun with better tires. ☮️

    Note to self: If I see a GTR struggling for traction forget the ET's and have fun.. Lol

    So hard to get traction on the solid axle Mustang's. No doubt

    I'm still scratching my head after hearing the guy in the 2014 missed 2nd, how on earth do you miss 2nd gear??? It's straight back! Maybe next time let that guy drive the 2020 Auto so we can see a proper race

      Second gear is easier than you think to miss - especially with a super high hp car doing all kinds of stuff to bend and warp the alignment of things, pressure plates - etc... THAT SAID, all that talk about how many technical things there are to deal with??? I'm 57 and I have a 2010 ZR1 and I don't know what he means - I drive at the track with all nannies turned off. I do what I've ALWAYS done, which is heat the tires, find the best reliable rpm to drop the clutch and shift smooth and steady. It isn't rocket surgery!
      It does take practice to get good and consistent - but they are making it sound like there is some high technical knowledge needed. I feel like we have dumbed down cars so much. You can't even hardly find a manual transmission anymore!

    You had almost perfect D/A with excellent track conditions, and 93 octane fuel in Texas ! Which all ads up to low ET's ! Keep practicing you'll get your launch technique down...

    I believe its a Nissan 200 SX at 2.43. I think it may have been badged as a Silvia in the states. Anyway, awesome video with lots of cool cars.

    Wow,10.5 car running 11.5's.Traction is critical for these high hp cars.I had the same problems with my Whippled Terminator on a non prepped track.Couldn't go full throttle till 3rd gear.No use continuing.

    Go to the Feb 1 event at California speedway. The track will be prepped way better for that event than a Street Legal event. Bring better tires to give the GT500 a better chance to run its potential. Plus....its safer. Love that you are keeping the car stock. Test N Tune days don't attract all the honda kids either since its a little more expensive than the Street Legal Drags days. Just keep having fun with the car. I will be there with my standard Hellcat...Ill just avoid you. LOL!!
