Video: Twin-Turbo MMR GT500 Run’s 7’s At Track


Right from the factory, the Shelby GT500 is a wicked ride. With its supercharged 5.4 liter V8, and now an aluminum engine block, it’s fast, handles very well, and most importantly, it’s a Shelby. Most of these GT500’s won’t get driven very often (if at all), but a handful will become terrifying street monsters capable of beating any car that gets in their way.

One such example is Modular Mustang Racing’s 2010 GT500. Mustangs Daily found this video of the MMR GT500 at the track in Las Vegas, where it beat expectations by running a 7.35 @ 192 mph in the quarter mile. Now that’s fast!

This car has been stripped and completely redone from the ground up as a lean, mean, racing machine. It is really a GT500 now in name only, as almost everything on the car is new, and everything unnecessary has been stripped away. This gives the GT500 a curb weight of just 2,900 pounds (whereas it was closer to 4,000 pounds from the factory).

Those aren’t fog lamps in the grill, rather than the inlets for the two 80mm Garrett turbochargers. It also has turbo camshafts, a custom intake manifold, and Stage 3 ported heads among many other modifications. This was good enough for that 7.35 run, which they hit after just three tries. It is also a half-second faster than their previous race car’s best-ever pass. Is it fast enough to hit the 6’s though? Time will tell.
