I've seen the Evolution video of the first GT500 in the 9's (9.95 @ 142+) and the mods they did to that GT500 were the exact same mods I was going to do if I had bought the Mustang. I know they are fast. But in the end, I didn't need a 3rd race car. We are in the process of building the SRT-10 engine and adding about 200 rwhp (heads , cam , custom intake, solid roller, 11:1 compression, forged rods and pistons) as I have gone 11.63 on the pure stock internals. I also have a 2000 Firehawk, that is having a custom built 433 cubic inch LS1 at LME (Houston). It will have ETP heads, and a Harrop Hurricane Intake (8 individual throttle bodies, search google for a picture). So that's why I choose the CTS V, for a daily driver and I have an extended warranty. I think a 118.91 mph daily driver is cool. Plus the young kids don't expect a 67 year old grand pa to shift like I do. |

Definitely looks like the older style tail lights in the video. Way to slow for a 13/14 GT500 either way.

The performance numbers make sense for the older model. I tried looking at the wheel rims as well, but they are after market. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |

I re- watched the video one more time and noticed one other item placing that car in the video as possible 11 or 12 model. The SVT performance package (PP) for the '11 and '12 model years had twin thin lemans stripes over the hood, top and deck lid ( which was optional as a delete). That car in the video bears the unique performance package stripe. These stripes were used during the two years mentioned above. I'm not sure about the '10 model or if it has the PP.
The '13 and '14 GT500 with or without the track package or PP had a lemans stripe with wider twin stripes. I think the wider stripes were matte, but definitely have wider stripes. I'm wondering if the video was a shoot of someone else's white car that night. Everything the OP states about the settings and what he saw under the hood matches the latest model. The video shows an older model. Hmmm....a mystery. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |

Look at the video real close when the car pulls up slowly after the smokey burnout. The cars view is being blocked except for a small opening which the tail lights appear slowly and you can see the stripes. After both cars leave, you can't tell as the tail lights look all white. The CTSv is badass car and is fricken fast. I own a '12 GT500 with the PP ( black on black with stripe package) and is modified ( 569 whp). I also have 11 SS as well.

Guys......There are some dead give aways that this IS in fact a 2013-14 GT500........Trust me, I had a 2012 GT500. Ill give you a hint. Look behind the back wheels on the bottom of the 1/4 panel and look at the rocker panel covers. What color are they?? Do they match the color of the car or are they dark grey? That should give it away.
Just because it ran slow doesn't mean that is not a 13-14 GT500. Its all in the driver with these things. Here is a pic of the side of my car. Up until 2012 they had the bottom of the sides and rear dark grey then changed that to match the body color in 2013.

I might be late to the party but those are NOT 13/14 tails, and dont appear to be the angle cut quad exhaust tips either.
(Based on the last picture posted) Edit disregard: cant read
