    VERY IMP. NEW GT RACE CARS FOR LEMANS

    As a privateer? Good luck it would be cool to see. As for FORD officialy entering Le Mans.... Why would they ask for the funds? They run the two astons already and they have thought about pulling the plug on WRC many times. Too risky IMHO if the GT fails to win it could hurt the legend!

    Why?

    So sad Since I dont post much I wont feed the troll, however for you GT owners (lucky bastards) wouldnt it be great if a company had a product that was so recognized it was completly spoken for prior to development? A product that was so wanted that people paid twice the asking price? A...

    Best Racetracks in America?

    Couldnt say because I have not had the chance to visit too many. The recently built Millermotorsports park in Utah is said to be very well done, reading on it, it was rated very high amongst many race teams who have had a chance to visit. AMLS will be there in July should be on NBC :cheers I...

    R Compound Tires?

    I believe he stated he has tracked the car twice ( road course) and went to the strip once. No rubbing problems at all. Then simply states they have a lot more grip and states the 1/4 mile time to show how much more grip is truly in them. :cheers

    Saleen's new supercharger keeps engine guarantee!

    So lets say they do warantee the damn thing, in all the other threads the whine is how mods void the the damn thing? So here is one that may not! The complaint by many is that they dont want to mod because a 27K engine is just to precious to fjck up? :willy Fact is at 12K even if it costs 3k...

    FORD GT at the ring.

    I would suggest you watch because youll notice they are actually pretty good about ensuring there is no traffic, and that a lot of the races take place away from traffic. Of course youll find pleanty where yes you will want to shoot some one. I read else where that five people were killed last...

    6,500 rpm's in 5th gear = 217 mph ???

    I didnt read the whole thread, but the 212 top seems about right on, I could see a few more MPH out of a stronger car? The SVT enthusiast mag did a top test run, the Ford driver at Nardo went 211 with no limiter.

    FORD GT at the ring.

    It was an open track session, driver arranged from FORD RS europe, said he couldnt do a fly by at the end and had to brake for the pits, under the eight mark with traffic, he states with a little stiffer schocks and rubber ( he works and is sponsered by bridgestone) it would go 7:40! Thats 2 sec...

    FORD GT at the ring.

    Sports car magazine has this months issue with a FGT running the ring. I am sure DBK will have it up soon but it was pretty interesting. Especially the times mentioned in the articale.

    Gulf Ford GT

    Why no wheels? This car needed some classic six spoke alloys deep dished! With the orange spokes! Help em out FR. I think it looks great! I remember reading somewhere that this color scheme is remembered by more petrolheads as the ultimate racing color scheme. Even more so then the Rosso from...
