I don't see what all the fuss is about. have never seen one break out of the 14's. I have two buddies with them and while they are decent performers for their time-period, I've seen Turbo Dodges hand them their ass. My little Shelby will run right with my friends' GN. He'll usually get me by a nose because I have to shift while he doesn't. Big heavy boats that are still underpowered.
To me, they'll always be the cars my teachers drove in Grade School/High School. Granny's Grocery Getters.
Your STOCK Shelby, can run with a STOCK grand national?
This is the post that started the debate. The numbers I listed show that this is very possible.
you listed power to weight ratios.... not track times...
according to power to weight ratios, a 3900lb Hemi B body should have run 12.20's@110....
"The official GLHS numbers were quarter-mile in 14.7 seconds, 0-60 in 6.5 sec,"
https://www.allpar.com/omni/GLHS.phpThe same 14.7 sec 1/4 as Diago's Motor trend link shows. So yes, the GLHS could run with a normal 1986-1987 Grand National and is quicker than a 1982-1985 Grand National in stock form.
