Les' observations are close to mine, and I think some of his thoughts on the GT also came from my feedback, as I recently got my 2006 GT.

Ah ha.........so that's where the dough from the ZL1 went https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

No John, I'm saving up to buy a lake house next to yours. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Hell, everybody knows I used Lester's money for the GT! Now I think Les should come out of the closet and tell us about HIS supercar, with initials "CGT". No mods needed, or so I understand.

Oh, and I'll run any 510 HP Viper any day with a bone stock Ford GT. I've driven plenty of Vipers and they do feel mean. Likely because they are like a real muscle car and get loose in the back and make you feel like a rock star. The Ford GT is like glue compared to trying to put the power down in a Viper. And the (supposed) engineering goal was a solid and smooth torque curve, like an electric motor, according to a book on the GT development I just read. OK, I just looked at the pictures, but so what.LOL

I bet the neighbor's car is stock and just has some miles on it, maybe a muffler. I wouldn't think a Ford dealer would swap a blower pulley. I have been told 500-1000 miles is mandatory to get all the power out of the GT. At least according to the guys on www.fordgtforum.com

So how about a Viper / GT shootout at the Supercar Reunion? I'll drive my car in from Milwaukee if Les drives in from Vegas! LOL

Juggernaut,
My Vipers are all the 450HP second generation cars. I was referring to the third generation 2005 510HP Viper which I think would easily handle your stock Ford GT kit car as would a stock Z06 Vette IMHO. Not only that what are the chances your GT will be stock by next week?

By the way since you are talking about coming out of the closet and outed us (not that there is anything wrong with that)just make sure everyone knows I am the pitcher and you are the catcher. LOL LOL

Hey Brokeback Quamo,
I'll drag race a Viper, any stock street Viper, heads up with the GT stock. I have to log some miles before I mod it anyway. All it has are K&N filters at this point. Better yet, let's run a road course heads up. When I do open track events and the Viper guys show up we usually get charged a gravel fee because the Vipers drag it all out of the runff areas and then pick it out of their wounds in the paddock. LOL

Here is a link to a guy running his GT in the 1/4 mile. 11.19 @ 134 - yes, mild mods, it has a 18psi pulley, computer tune, and Ford Racing exhaust. BUT, look at how the guy just dogs it out of the hole. Reminds me of how I drag race. That is drag race as in with a car, not when you dress up and race your Vegas buddies down the street in their womens clothing. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

Now you also have to explain the Juggernaut to these guys. This ought to be good. LOL

Need to add the disclaimer about the ****ing WOW at the end of the video...

That car flies! I want a ride! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Juggernaut,
I will take that road course challenge just pick a track between our two states all I will need is a 450HP Viper or my 450 HP GT2 to out run that Ford kit car. Between the two of us only one of us has actually raced a Viper on a road course in a challenge series and it ain't you so me thinks you have little or no idea what you are talking about when it comes to Vipers? I also saw pictures of your vintage racing driving handy work at Road America last summer when your vintage 69 TA was piled up on top of 28 other cars. So I think people in glass gravel traps perhaps shouldn't throw gravel???
LOL LOL LOL LOL

I think the last time you drove a Viper was in 1996 when you blew yours up during a burn out contest? Try that with your Ford and see if they honor the warranty? Dodge was always great about letting you break it on Sunday at the race track or during a burn out contest and fixing it under warranty on Monday. Ask your Ford buddies how Ford is about paying for warranty claims after you run 18 PSI of boost and describe it as a "minor mod"?

So you Ford guys call 18 PSI of boost a "minor" mod now to get that turdbox to run like the preproduction cars? I guess we now know what boost the preproduction Ford GTs were running eh? "Minor mod" at 18 PSI that's like calling a nuclear meltdown at a nuclear reactor a "minor problem"

Your the Juggernaut you explain it to them.

wow, could waste some serious time on that website https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif
