used any kind of electronic device to test the speed of their GT or are you waiting to break in your engines? Also will anybody be modifying their GT radically(engine swapping, turbo, etc.)?
Bill Briley said:Like many of the other Owners, I would like to know why the current GT 1/4 mile acceleration tests are 4 to 6 tenhs slower than the 1st tests. I know
these are not Drag Racers but I hate to have my butt kicked by the '04 Viper
I sold to my Partner.
Maybe FORD will modify the motor to make it as fast as advertised ?? I remember the '99 Cobra deal..........
satx said:you should have your car dyno'd......and I don't think you have to worry about the VIPER.
bony said:I have no electronic data yet, car is still not broken in fully. Only from the seat of the pants can I say, it feels faster than anything I have driven to date, including 427FE Cobra replica, 360, Stradale, 430 and several Turbo Porsches.
I am debating going the pulley route, I am not sure if I will at this point; the car is to quiet so an exhaust system change is being considered, but the Borla pricing seems over the top to me. :thumbsup
barondw said:The other item to consider is gutting the cats. I have been told this is the biggest restriction on the engine. However it makes a noticeable throater noise and cruising in 6th at 90 mph creates a resonance that is very annoying.
Svt03Cobra said:I'm still deciding whether or not to cut my cats of my New Black GT when I get it. I would figure like you said, that it would make some loud resonance at those speeds. I'm definitely probably going to get the Borla exhaust from Ford. But we'll see when that time comes... :biggrin
Vic said:Uhm, Hennesey said removing the entire exhaust system made no difference on the dyno. So unless another system is gonna give some miraculous scavenging effect, I'd say its a waste of time.
