Congratulation Guys. Thanks Dave for posting the article. Wait until I mount that new GE F/A-18 jet engine with afterburners on my 2000 pound Lotus, it should come close to beating Peak's car.

Yeah, I've got one.
Congratulations Jason. Hmmm, I wonder what your backlog is looking like these days...I have a check burning a hole in my back pocket. :lol
Thanks Dave for the additional "back stage" color.

Jason congrads.:thumbsup
Like Joe's GT it is amazing what these GT's stock will take and still hold up.:wink
Ps. I wish I knew about the event I have a cabin near the base and was probably their with the GT around that time.

Congratulations Jason. You earned my respect well before I joined this forum or entertained the thought of fulfilling my 40 year wish of owning a GT - when I read the C&D article about your TTGT and TTG. Amazed as I was with the performance of these two machines, I was more impressed hearing the story of the young and gifted designer, engineer and tech. Such thoughtful and quality design and build work. You clearly are a 'step above' and it's just great to see your excellence more broadly recognized.
The day I buy my second GT, it'll be on it's way to your shop.
Again, congratulations.

Yea, I got one...too
Jason, have not met you yet but your reputation preceeds you. Others have sung your high laurels. I look forward to the April event and seeing your shop.
Rich says is all!
Congratulations on a job well done for the whole FGT owner community!

Great job Jason! Just think how faster you could have run if they would have let you go get ice!
Ray you put together one hell of a machine and Gary J did a hell of a job being the pilot.
I thought that hired gun that ran the Lambo for Mr. Voom did a fantastic job too.
Norm was a good sport and good competition, a hell of a lot of homework and money went into that Vette.
All I can say Hennessey ran good numbers too... good thing I was there to rescue him at the dyno ....he still could be stuck there.

As a life-long C&D fan, I was thrilled to see the issue waiting on my desk this morning. They usually get things right and I love the loose canon approach they take to performance write ups. They got this one spot on.
I especially liked Heffner's positive comments regarding the GT's robust engine.
Ya' done us proud, and it was nice to see our loyal and beloved GT open up a family sized can of butt whoopin' on the also-rans.

......That the yellow GT with black stripes, is the fastest. Great article. Dave and Camillo get to do all the cool stuff.

Thanks Dave for posting the article up. I just now have had a chance to get on the internet to catch up and here it is. THANK YOU! :cheers
I spent the last 4 days trying to find the magazine here in West Texas to no avail..
Yesterday morning, while getting a haircut, the mailman delivered a copy of C&D... lucky the girl didn't cut off an ear while I jumped up to get a first look at the article. Needless to say I was a little bit excited.
The trip to Detroit was unbelievable. From checking things out at Ford's test track and meeting a bunch of the design engineers, to cruising around Detroit with DBK, Camilo and crew, to pulling up at the hotel in the rain at 2am in the cars and watching the complete look of disbelief on Norm's face the night before the event.. it was great!
Like Jason told the magazine editors, although it was not quoted, "I would not bring a car that wouldn't perform, and be able to go home with the owners"... we beat on the car all day and night before the event, we competed and won, performing a standing mile event on pump gas after the competition, and street raced all the way home...
It could not have been done without Jason, who built such an amazing machine, or without Gary who undoubtably made it happen with a superb display of driving skill. It is an unbeatable team and one that I am proud to be a part of. :thumbsup:thumbsup
Now that we can talk about it, look forward to some killer videos, pictures and write ups from Gary and myself soon.
2 hands off the wheel from 200 up and full acceleration, 2 hands off the wheel from 180 down full brakes... what an amazing car. Thanks Jason, Thanks FORD! :banana :banana :banana

Not sure what you did for us to rescue us from the dyno. But I sure could have used your help on race day! :cheers
Very impressive. The article states that the GT has "Ford racing rotors".
Does anyone know if they are different than stock?

slider, the racing rotors are lighter and have floating hats. About $1700 for fronts, and another $1700 for rears. They just fit right in , no mods to anything, including calipers.
