Man it’s a treat just seeing one of these hit 150-160mph and to know you are doing this on a track with turns coming up is just fricken knocking it out of the park!!!!!!
The things that have to come together to make this happen!, Good sticky tires, the right track temperature and conditions, Right car set up in suspension and downforce, and most important the right driver! Even the pro drivers can’t take this moment from you my friend......long time coming congratulations.....I always said you are a hell of a driver, Happy to see you proving me right 😎👊🏁
Any issues with the car being too loud there? I run my bikes there and love the track. I’m in Ohio and just got a 21 gt500. I want to run there and mid Ohio but want to make sure they won’t kick me out for being too loud.
It’s very close on some days and will blow sound on other days in stock form. It’s pretty easy to make it compliant. Hit me up on here or Instagram if you decide to come down and I’ll help you out.
Nice lap! I wish NCM could get itself onto Iracing or some other popular sim. I do bike trackdays here and would love to put in laps with some sweet cars on sim.
Awesome driving bro!!! The only thing better than more horsepower is proven haters wrong!!! #HighOctaneMotivation. Get you some of that!!! God bless and be safe bruh!!!
Serpent Stangs yes sir I love the way you’re showing that super car performance on the dragstrip and the road course proving all those haters wrong👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks! Yeah for this event I used 350R brakes and stock 19” 350R carbon wheels with 325’s in the rear, and 315’s up front. Getting more serious for this year. I had a set of 19x12’s made and we’re gonna run BIG tires! First event is Gridlife April 17th-18th. Stay tuned.
@@svtdsm i just saw you're friends with Nicholas. I can't wait to see you guys tear it up this year! He's got the 335s on already. What brake pads are you using? I'm based in the Philippines and my 500 is coming in q3! I do time attacks here and can't wait for that car to arrive. Been using a 2015 GT successfully and hoping to cut 5 secs with the 500 on a 3 mile course
@@redemption_gt500 Yeah Nick and I are going to be teammates in Gridlife this season. I’m using G-loc r16-r12 pads. You’re going to love the car! Congrats!
@@svtdsm I'm just going to live vicariously through you guys for now lol. Do you think those gloc 16/12s bite stronger and withstand a higher temp than the stock ones? I use GLOCs on my GT as well. But I've been seeing 500 owners saying the stock pads are track worthy already (strong bite and no overtemp fading). What do you think?
@@redemption_gt500 stock pads are very good but I like a bit more bite when using Hoosiers. And for me, using the smaller gt350r brakes up front I definitely wanted a more aggressive pad.
Serpent Stangs we’ve got a Mexico blue one with your name on it. Sitting on the showroom floor right now. They’re incredible machines to drive. Shoot me a pm
(Formally RS3 4 ME) Hey Steve! Hope you had a good Christmas and new year! I traded in the roush and got a gt500! Did you by chance do a resonator delete on your car? I'm assuming that doesn't void the warranty? Thinking about doing it on my car. Hope to see some more content from ya soon! And happy new year!
Hey bro! Congrats on the gt500! Hopefully you also had a happy holidays! I actually added two resonators to mine after deleting the cats. It was just too loud lol.
You gotta talk ford performance into sending you out to the nordschleife to lay down a time in the 500 on their junket. 3 days of TF to practice in then set ur time and gtfod. Your driving style would work there. Something tells me it could break into the sub 7:15's in the right hands...
@@svtdsm u must ve seen the 1:33.8 it ran at Laguna seca in the motor trend coty and the 2:44.3 it ran at VIR for car n driver. How do you view those times ? Have you been plotting out ur Nordschleife attempt. In ur spec it'd run near 7:05 which would easily be the fastest 4000 lb car ever there...
I expected better lap times.. again not complaining but Andy Pilgrim did a 2.09.77 with a bone stock GT500. And that lap could ve been faster if Andy had not made some small mistakes.. still a 2:08.xx wud be the best stock GT500 can do. A Stock C7 ZR1 does 2:05.37 and stock 911 GT3 RS a whopping 2.03.49 making it the quickest stock NA car at NCM. Do with over 800 whp and weight reduction I expected better. That said the drive was awesome... maybe when U master that skill U could do sub 2.06s which I was expecting of this 500
Serious question... Do you have any idea who Andy Pilgrim is? If you do, the fact that you “expect” ANYONE is capable of matching or beating the times he does tells me you’ve probably never driven on a racetrack, and have definitely never experienced what a real pro driver can do. That being said, we beat Andy’s time by 2.2 seconds with better tires, and about an extra 100rwhp. Weight savings was only about 30lbs after the cage install and I assure you I’m more than 30lbs heavier than Andy. I believe with Andy driving my car it definitely is a solid 2:05 car but the level of commitment and skill at that kind of pace truly deserves BIG respect.
@@svtdsm Well that was exactly what I too was sayin. I never said it performed bad. But could be better specially with a pro driver handling your serpent.
jandj Godwin My reply was in response to you saying you “expected” better times. You shouldn’t expect anyone to be able to match what a pro can do. That’d be like if you won a dunk competition and I was like, meh... I expected better since Jordan dunked one from the free throw line... All seriousness though, I plan to continue working on my ability, and hope to one day soon be at the pro level. I’ll actually be working with Andy, and other pros in this next year.

As a ZL1 Camaro owner who has ran NCM several times, congrats. Totally respect the GT500, badass American muscle.
Thanks! We actually just broke the production based lap record in this car. 2:02.75!
Congrats man I can't even imagine what it's like to drive that beast on the track!!
That thing moves. Congrats. I wanted to squeeze in one more track day but seems our season has come to an end up here.

Thanks Brotha! Really appreciate it!🤙🏼
I love hearing the Supercharger in the background.
Congrats!!! That’s AWESOME!!!
I’ve driven that track and that was an awesome lap right there! You were hauling!!
I believe I heard the tires screaming.
Holy fuck the sound of engine is sick. Damn that blower sound awesome too.

@@svtdsm what’s involved in making it not blow sound in stock form?
Just some 4” Amazon silencers that can be bolted on utilizing a hole that’s already in the bottom of the tips.
Nice lap! I wish NCM could get itself onto Iracing or some other popular sim. I do bike trackdays here and would love to put in laps with some sweet cars on sim.

Drive it like you stole it! Bad ass driving
Love your videos and beginning of 2022 I'm going to be working in the maintenance department at a Ford dealership where I live
As Darrell Waltrip used to say "It's a NEW TRACK RECORD "(for a Mustang). Awesome job man I could watch lap after lap after lap in that car
Frickin cool! Great video! Awesome time!
Hey Serpent Stangs.. hope to hear something from your channel. Hope you and your family are doing well..
Badass driving right there!
Steve Merry Xmas. Hope everything is going good. Shoot us an update when you can. Thanks
Hey bro, missed this comment. Thanks! Happy New Year! I’ll have some updates soon. 2021 should be fun!
Get that record bro 🤙
Driving da shi---- out dat piece!!! Good job bro sure looks like a lot of fun
Damn. Great driving. Did you use 19 inch wheels and 350 brakes? I know hoosier only makes 305 and 335 for 20s

I wanna see what you could do behind the wheel of a 2RS. It would be magical.
P.s. I’ve seen you drive in person and it was a pleasure.
Cphibs Unknown Thanks! Funny thing I was just telling my cousin how bad I want to drive one lol.

Was that you at Mid Ohio in the #42. Looked just like your 350.
No, I wish LOL. Those are my peeps though. I’m friends with the guys that run that team.
Damn brother!!! Killing it. 2:05 next

@@svtdsm Thanks man! I get it. I'm sure the tracks you race at probably have sound restrictions yeah?
Yeah that too but without cats it doesn’t sound very good IMO. Under a load at lower rpm it’s very snappy/raspy.
Where did he go 🥺
That is Badass!
I'm not kidding here, I'd love to ride shotgun in this car someday turning laps like that. Awesome driving!
Damn this thing screams!!!!
Steve the DA is very good. Start the car...lol.
congrats......which tires did u run on this video?
Thanks! Hoosier A7's 315/325
That would be the fifth quickest lap
It’s ran 2:06 since then. Finalizing phase 2 of the build now and then going for the production based lap record which is a 2:02!
@@svtdsm - rooting for you!
Damn sick!
