Contrary to what the article says I think it sounds pretty darn good!

Can’t agree with you more...... these are truly a fine specimen of a Supercar.

Great dyno video. We all know the NFGTs strengths are not in a straight line, but the fact that it can beat up on a new ZR1 (Brooks' video) and a Huracan show that it is punching above its weight.

Somehow I missed Brooks' delivery video until last night. It was cool to hear the delivery concierge review all the features.

10% drivetrain loss is exactly what folk usually use as an estimate, good to see it confirmed

Why do shops still use "STD" correction factors? And no fans on the intercoolers. :facepalm:


Where do these "journalists" come from?

"Another thing we are wondering is how can Ford sell a stock Mustang with 700 hp (522 kW) for less than $100,000 but this half-a-million-dollar car (that, by the way, looks stunning) doesn’t exceed 600 hp (447 kW)."

wheel hp =/= bhp :facepalm::facepalm:

We just completed the first oil and filter change and had the belly pans off the car. So our guys decided to put it on the dyno. Pretty strong power at the wheels in my opinion. Our senior calibrator looked at the stock tune and logs and believes there is more power available especially in the mid-range. If anyone wants a tune, feel free to DM or call me. My Heritage is stock for now...

Let me know when you do the mods John! I'm excited to see how it goes! If all is well then Stormcat may also do it.

Ed, sounds good. Had dinner with your neighbor DQ and his wife along with Sanjay this past weekend in Austin. He is a huge fan of yours!

Yes, my neighbor DeWayne is moving to Austin. First Bonehead & Chempowr now my neighbor! Texas is taking all my car buddies! And I know Tomy will say for me to move also but I am staying in California (AJB wants me to move to Michigan). I know my high taxes are contributing to California's economy and that gives my life meaning & purpose! LOL!

Funny how a factory 10 sec car can be considered to not be a phenomenal straight line performer in 2018. It's still within the neighborhood of anything short of a 720S.

Agreed, not to long ago a 12 second showroom stock car was considered very fast.

Is the whole state on fire?
Better move before you get burned.
Hope you guys are all safe.
