1100HP+ SHELBY GT500s TAKE ON GTRs, TWIN TURBO R8s, TESLA PLAIDs & MORE | MITM Elite Coverage

We went up to the MITM Elite Invitational with three high power Shelby GT500s and faced some stiff competition racing boosted V10s and built GTRs in the DCT Roll & Drag Race Classes. Still, we were able to make a good showing with Sean Backus' 1250hp Hellion Twin Turbo build, Andy Wood's 1140hp Carbon Fiber Track Pack, and Kens 1140hp CX1100R prototype.

Would have liked to see you guys get the shifts and the launch right with the same combo before stepping up in power, got a strong feeling it has a 7.93 without any additional power.

[@Sleeper_Solutions]

160mph is not capable of 7s at that weight

[@PalmBeachDyno]

I think he meant 8.93. We would have loved to get that 8 sec pass, but didn't want to waste anymore time before putting on the Whipple 3.8L on. One of our customers has already run 8s with our X1100 package and we will continue to develop the ported blower packages.

I would still prefer my 2020 GT500 with a manual. Nothing feels better than getting it right from a dig and slamming gears during a roll race. Shifting gears, you feel like a jockey riding a stallion and using your heels and bridle to get the horse to run faster...with an automatic you're just...sitting on the horse waiting until its over.

@@PalmBeachDyno a regular mustang gt with that kit runs high 8's, so the Tesla still loses. And turbo R8 run high 8's as well. I'm guessing you get the point here.

[@marcusjohnson5839]

Plaid is a quick car, yet a one trick pony. Stock is what they’ll be minus gutting one because there’s absolutely no upgrades lol. Yet to see a Tesla run a road course/auto track, top speed limited still. Impressive acceleration but people acting like it’s a replacement for drag racing is just silly. There’s GTR’s for sell less than 100k all built making 1200-1400+hp. It’s never fast enough so unless someone starts making battery swaps the Tesla drag game only go so far.

[@MrSvnwolves]

@@marcusjohnson5839 Rob and Ken know I wrote my own tunes for my Fords. *** if we can modify any production Ford then why can’t we do that for a Tesla? That highly modified GTR can’t road race so that point is a red herring

[@marcusjohnson5839]

@ Dan W Why can’t a Tesla be modified? Idk probably because there’s no power adders for electric cars. Some talk of trying to get a harder launch is about it as far as “tuning” goes. It’s an iPhone on wheels if they give an update then that’s about it. There’s some GTR’s not running a drag built transmission yet plenty upgraded and still make turns, Vette’s/Vipers/911’s/720’s/etc all can still turn pretty decent and be anywhere from high 8’s to 10’s while doing it. Again impressive for a 120-130k a stock from factory low 9 @150ish car. Yet people are acting like the future is here and seem to forget stock only works for so long so what aftermarket is supposed to feed the need to go faster? At that point my point stands that for 120-130k one can find a much better option than a stock Tesla for the drag strip.

[@MrSvnwolves]

@@marcusjohnson5839 A dodge demon is a drag car right? A tesla. 4 door car on street tires crushes it without the special ecu, track prep etc. You have never raced RC cars and it shows.
