Piccola and I were just discussing "mods" to an already near perfect car. She has declared that GTs without mods are "normal" not stock.

piccola said:Ah, K-P... Your memory is going. You must be getting old. :wink During the conversation I said, "your GTs are just stock, right?" And you got all bent out of shape. Then you went on to tell me that "stock" GTs should be called "normal". Let's try it out. "You have 2 'normal' GTs." Hmmm... Just doesn't sound right! A GT (even stock) is far beyond "normal", including those candy cane looking ones like Dr. Pikul, you, & GTJoey have. :biggrin
That brings us to the heritage, which is definitely not "normal" (stock or otherwise). They are the fastest of the GTs & by far the most incredible, which explains why everyone seems to be adding them as their 2nd GT. :thumbsup ALL GT's are incredible cars, modified or stock!
What do you guys think? Should we refer to the non-modified ones as "normal" GTs?

MAD,MAD IN NC said:I had an engineer working for me who understands drag force and wind resistance give a readout on a two tone car versus a four color car (Blue, orange, white and black) and took into account the "stickers" and the extra paint, TAPE etc and came to the conclusion that the Heritage is 1.2 mi slower on the quarter mi. :bs But he did say it looked great.
Bony is right - a car with no stripe not only weighs less but is faster due to surface drag! :banana

Spirit said:MAD,
I have it from 2 VERY good sources that the Heritage is the fastest:
Both Mrs. Spirit & Piccola; now that's a combination I sure don't want to argue with.:rolleyes
I do agree with Bony's contention about the weight issue: these 'Special' 4 colored cars do in fact weight more; however due to the colors working in such an efficient and harmonious manner, they actually do create much less drag and aerodynamic friction along with the most important factor of all, increased down force. Furthermore, if the Heritage runs a Black Bra, they are even faster due to the air spliting improvement created and the sun light absorbtion properties.
:eek What the heck did I just say?:confused
What was this thread about anyway?:willy
Spirit said:Awsum,
Now I really am jealous.:cheers
OH YEA! :biggrinbony said:You know I don't get a thrill removing a white bra, is it different on a black bra? :lol
Frank,fjpikul said:Both you guys should try removing the SEXY RED BRA!
Spirit said:Frank,
I must admit that there is something alluring about a red bra.:rolleyes
However, those white stripes your wear, are just a little strange without the blue fringe you cut off.:eek
:usa
SLF360 said:I am more on the 'observant side lines ' on this thread, fully trust Bony to control the situation, as usually.
... as long as you don't start discussing the (eventual) joy of someone taking off yellow bras with black stripes.... :lol
In that sense, I would also prefer white stripes over red ones :rofl
..back to Captain Bony, get me out of here ! :bow
