Silverado beats Shelby GT500 at the track.

[Gorske]

Took my 2017 Silverado Z71 5.3 to the track tonight. I got pair up against a Shelby GT500. My mods ProCharger P1SC, Circle D 278mm 3200 stall, Klug Performance tune, and a Black Widow 250 custom cat-back. Launched the truck at 1500rpm in 4wd and ran a 12.74 @ 106.51 with a 1.81 60ft. The GT500 was stock soft launch and said he missed 3rd. He ran a 13.01 @ 113.46 with a 2.48 60ft. I held him off in the end.

You destroyed him from the line. Definitely see where he missed a gear although I don’t think it would have mattered. Nice run.

Thanks guys. I was so surprised how this race went. I will say this with a good driver that car would beat my truck no problem. It doesn't matter how much horsepower you have if you don't know how to use it. See it all the time at the track with cars like this. I am very glad I got it on video lol.

You beat him in the first 60 ft... he was catching you the rest of the way ...speed at the lights. Low end torqe vs big end HP

Considering the OP's 12.7 fast ass truck is pulling hard the whole way, that Mustang was catching it a couple of times during the run. Driver error had him posting a bad time, but that car was gaining fast in between screw ups, that Ford was fast.

That was his first pass. By the end up the night he was learning his car and his best time stock with street tires he went 11.95 which is a big improvement over that 13.01 lol. My truck is 615hp 5600lbs. His car 650hp 3400lbs. Which is a big difference lol. It's an amazing car and we are in an time you can buy some awesome high horsepower cars from the factory. I think there needs to be some education on how to drive one of these cars when you do get it. 500hp+ is a lot of power to deal with.

that is why you go to the track to learn how to drive it.
