300C SRT8 vs GT500 shelby mustang cobra @ GLD 4 28 10.avi

I'm a T-6 paraplegic driving the 06 300C SRT8 with hand controls. It has a Diablo tune, AFE 2 CAI, and resonator deletes. That's roughly 700.00 in total mod costs.lol I dyno tuned it last year at West Bend Dyno and put down 405rwhp.

It was in the high 40's last night so the track was NOT hooking well with the minimal prep on test n tune night. My 60's were horrible 2.17s-2.19's on my 20" yokohama parada spec x suv tires. They are great rain and snow tires, but ain't the best for the track.lol I need to invest in some stickier tires and get some more track time.

As far as the GT500, I'm guessing the high 40's temps plus street tires makes for a challenging holeshot. Very nice GT nonetheless. I definitely wouldn't mind having one in my garage.

the only reason why any srt8 300 is because all they have to do is put it a slower time and they get a head start

@montev I have absolutely no idea what u just wrote.

@Deepin210

do a search for ct-100 wells enberg. Piperco carries them for around 486.00.Youtube is not letting me post a link. Its a good hand control for the track because you can apply brake and throttle at the same time for warming tires, break stands, etc.lol

[Deepin210]

Hi I'm a t4 paraplegic and had a question. What kind of hand controls are you using?

[gymratt42]

@Deepin210

Hi,

I use a Wells Enberg CT-100 rotary hand control. Space was'nt an issue in the 300c but in my 06 corvette there is limited room so the control fits perfect. I have used it for the past 24 yrs. I just transfer to the newest car i buy.

Only caveat, the cable does were out and sometimes needs to be replaced or adjusted. It has been on two corvettes, the 300c, a saab, a stealth, a 99 z28, a mercury cougar(blech-my first ride after getting out of hospital in 87).

the shelbys stick so its harder to launch

[gymratt42]

@zuni99a yes it is. The owner commented below that it was one of his first times down the track. I'm willing to bet he is a helluva lot faster now with more seat time and the usual tune, CAI, blower pulley mods that really wake up an already quick car.

@gymratt42 lmao!!!! I 2nd that

[pennynike1]

@gymratt42 Your bet is quite right OP. And whoever 22E82FC2 is, get a life!

[22E82FC2]
