There seems to be a lot of people commenting about the Super Snake.... The driver does not own the car, and it is his first time ever running it flat out. He was learning the car, as I was learning the GT500... The Super Snake is not an easy car to drive hard, because it has 1000 HP. It takes time to get used to it and to build the confidence. Unfortunately Scott (the owner) cannot drive it, because of his condition. So our friend was kind enough to get behind the wheel and drive that monster on track.

Speed Phenom: What was the DA? What is the track elevation? Of course, if the track isn't prepped well, it'll hurt ETs. However, density altitude really matters. It's obvious conditions were great at the Motorplex. The 10.66 proves it.

Yeah, many times a driver thinks "full throttle" is the way to win, it's all about pedal modulation. I think a good burnout and a short-shifting of 1st gear on top of not going full throttle would help him gain some confidence. Just improving technique will drop the E.T.s. Too many feel the need to impress right of the bat.

Awesome video, thanks for catching my first run. It was my slowest but pretty cool to be on your video. I am the one in the 2008 red Shelby GT500. Love that 2020 you have there. Hope to see you at the track again. Keep up the great work.

By the looks of it the new tires take longer to heat, but the Sc4s's seem to just work better for the gt500 :/

Wow !!! 1:40 sounded amazing !!!!!

Nice video. Some days are learning days. Keep at it.

Way cool and can’t wait to see what’s next.

nice job, doing all the permutations you could think of. Each time you do a drag, it will come better and your speed will be great

DAMN that 240sx vs the red eye off by 4 secs almost had him

Well, you ran a better time in your GT500 than I ran in my Demon my first time taking it to the track. Love the channel and the car👍

Nice vid sir!!

Love the video. I'm local to So cal and would be interested in the next drag day. 2014 GT500 Bald tires of course...

Man! That was fun to watch! I would give my left arm to make a pass in either car:)

seeing the speedo climb so fast is insane

Really happy to see that you guys got to go out there and run both cars! The conditions didn’t seem ideal out on the track. The driver in the super snake is too new of a driver. A more experienced driver would do justice for the silver Super Snake. That would be a deserved race for the Shelby lifestyle.

Sick video sick cars thanks for sharing

I was at that speedway for Hard Summer! Nice to see the drag strip being used.

Excellent content. Time and time again. Great 2020 GT500 but it’s so diff without a real stick shift. Just not the same

Speed, much ❤️ bro. 👍👍

Stunning 🤙🏽

Damn that drag strip has hella competition!!!

enjoying the content!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good runs. I run in FL, and my old GT500 had 700+ to the wheels. DA can be a killer for sure and the weather..For your tires, you should have aired down to 18. Also as other said go AROUND the box and back in. HAha I had to do burn outs the old fashion way....with my feet ! With line lock its easy. I always count to 5 then let her go forward.

Speed Phenom Great Video I think you should always check a Dragstrips Density Altitude before going if you want to run better times and also try going to Drag Strips that Use Track Bite aka VHT

I like it when the public gives constructive criticism. They're not being rude they're just trying to give you an edge and I think that's what hot roding as a hobby is all about.

You have a great Spirit Brother. Be safe out there

Finally finally finally 👍🏻

The whine from da red eye 😍😍😩

How much does the super snake weigh compared to the 2020?

Looks like there was quite a difference in track prep. lol unless your clutches are slipping.

The race of the century

I have pulled a 13.4 in my 2014 6sp manual 3.7 v6 with 3.73 gears and mpt race tune with bbk shortie headers and magnaflow mufflers.

Nice cars man .

Hi Austin, guess you didn't find a Demon out there? Great honest vids. I'll catch up with you after the Super Bowl and drag mine out there and see what it does. Maybe I'll see you at C&C in town on the 1st?

Hey man saw your comment about going off the 3rd yellow bulb that is basics for learning how to have a good react time as soon as you see 3rd bulb take off. No questions asked bc by the tune the car moves the green light goes off. It’s the perfect way to do it. Also put the gt500 on some 18” radials those 20s aren’t cutting it

What's the temperature there and what's elevation?

Dude resembles the actor in movie Baby driver lol. Very nice mustang! I used to run my built 01 Hayabusa and my 05 mustang GT at our track in Tennessee. Regardless of getting beat or winning,it was always a nice little adrenaline rush and tons of fun. Met alot of cool people and nice rides! Be safe! That car would be much more fun with better tires. ☮️

What was the temp & humidity difference between your 10.6 vs your current runs? Some times that play a role in the vehicles performance, I have a time my 03 Cobra ran faster on some crappy ass Sumitomos than I did on Nitto 555R’s.

I liked once you said Fontana drag strip that’s my home town right there

This video goes to show you can have all the horsepower in the world, but if you can't put it to the ground it doesn't do you a bit a good. Funny thing, I was yelling at the beginning that your burnouts were way too short. Even at the end I felt they were still not long enough. It's important you get those tires really sticky, but then you already know that. Great video, keep them coming.

Do you know how to use pattle shift?

What was the temperature out there that day? Humidity? Elevation? Several factors compared to your run in Texas.

I believe it was around 60 degrees (don't remember exactly). And elevation from what I'm told is about 1,200 ft. DA was 1600.

What kind of jabroni has 1k hp on street tires, you gonna lose every race 🤦🏻‍♂️

Wait until it has drag radials, it will run in the low 10's they said. Run in the 11's. It's all about track prep.

victor gomez 3 tenths of a sec hamster maybe traction doesn’t seem to be the issue that dct tranny has a lag so tires aren’t going to help much it’s a 10.6 to 11 second car that tranny isn’t design for the drag strip but the race track .for the record he put sticky tires on it

Silver mustang....driver mod needed asap

I would suggest raising the air pressure in the fronts . I had Proxis they would spin a lot more compared to my current Mickey Thompson.

😂didn’t want no part of that Red Eye!

Need to do more of a burn off. Tires are not sticky enough. I would love to see you try it with some slicks

Note to self: If I see a GTR struggling for traction forget the ET's and have fun.. Lol

I live by the speedway ! How come u didn’t announce u were going to be there ? I would have went

Finally the R888R!! They are the best

Heard u launch it at 1200 that should do it and adjust the wing to the third setting idk i dont own one but thats what i heard from some dude that does

So hard to get traction on the solid axle Mustang's. No doubt

Thank goodness there were no crowds of people anywhere near by. 👍

Someone who can explain me about that "import challenger" It's tuned???

Aye I’m from Livonia mi do u ever go to Milan?

You had almost perfect D/A with excellent track conditions, and 93 octane fuel in Texas ! Which all ads up to low ET's ! Keep practicing you'll get your launch technique down...

Doesn’t the 13 14 Shelby with an exhaust and cold air trap about the same as the 2020?

Speed Phenom, I read or saw a video that Ford says to Line lock for up to 15 secs to heat tires up at the track(i'm no expert). Maybe run their tires and burnout more? Just a suggestion, bought a 2020 Gt350 two months ago, with GT500 coming in March/April. keep up the great work with your videos, my son showed me one of yours which led me to selling my SVO's and buying Shelby GT350 and now Gt500, cant wait.

Wow,10.5 car running 11.5's.Traction is critical for these high hp cars.I had the same problems with my Whippled Terminator on a non prepped track.Couldn't go full throttle till 3rd gear.No use continuing.

Where are filming this?

It's crazy to see you wearing an almost nascar suit, in your everyday car that you drive ..

I believe its a Nissan 200 SX at 2.43. I think it may have been badged as a Silvia in the states. Anyway, awesome video with lots of cool cars.

“So how’d it feel” “Spinning”

Crazy those tires didnt hook that good. I've seen dudes with more hp hook with them. Wonder what the issue. Maybe the track and weather conditions?

Those are really nice gloves. LMAO!

Name that tune you played when you showed off the machines.

Something special to see and own wow Ford is the WIN circle. I got a 69 stang 351 4 speed own 38 years run 12s but I'm so love the new ones

@tomsteele937

Second gear is easier than you think to miss - especially with a super high hp car doing all kinds of stuff to bend and warp the alignment of things, pressure plates - etc... THAT SAID, all that talk about how many technical things there are to deal with??? I'm 57 and I have a 2010 ZR1 and I don't know what he means - I drive at the track with all nannies turned off. I do what I've ALWAYS done, which is heat the tires, find the best reliable rpm to drop the clutch and shift smooth and steady. It isn't rocket surgery! It does take practice to get good and consistent - but they are making it sound like there is some high technical knowledge needed. I feel like we have dumbed down cars so much. You can't even hardly find a manual transmission anymore!
