If a GT run a 12.6 I would hate to see what the GT500 is going to run. If they can make that car hook it will be wicked. I just doubt that they will.

Something's off with the display in between the gauges in both pics. One looks like a GR or Boss (as the speedo is 160mph), and the other is likely the GT500 (has SVT logo and 220mph speedo). That's not the weird part though. What is strange is that both pictures (supposed to be different cars) have the exact same mileage on it of 12,345.6

last year, I saw a 2011 GT500 with just DRs, run in the high 11's with an inexperienced driver.

If the GT can run 12.6, what time will the Boss and Gt500 run?
Maybe A.O should challenge the GT or Boss to another race with the SS.

They're probably just demo shots or renderings, not actual mileage readouts. If it doesn't say, "SVT" in the tach it's not the gt500.

And that is a big "IF". The S197 is plagued with traction issues. They are going to have a hell of a time trying to plant 650hp.

There is no reason they can't figure this out .. if they don't there will be some mad people .. at the track it wouldn't matter anyways .. they throw on some slicks and they are good to go ..

Yeah, I agree. That's why I brought it up. It looks photoshopped for sure. It would be aweful rare to see two cars with identical mileage to the tenth of a mile, lol.
