I did not know about the article written by Wyss on the Ford GT's very interesting that Car and Driver would print anything he wrote. He is known for getting his facts wrong in the Cobra community and considered a "hack" writer by most of those folks. He has approached me a couple times...

Absolutely agree, I am hearing rumors of cars slated for sale right after delivery. Those cars should be going to people who will keep and appreciate them.

Would love to see that with a top notch driver that knows the ring on a dry day. I agree with you, will be under 7 minutes because of the superior aerodynamics of the GT.

I suppose I would try it with a replica but don't think I would trust a rail system with an original car:)

I have friends that have run tests with the Kuhmo's on a track Corvette, 2 seconds a lap better than Michelin cup 2's and 1 second on an autox course, they are very special tires close to Hoosier A6/A7. I have run their V720 305x19 on my GT3 and they are very different than the Viper tires...

Take off the ACR's trick Kuhmo's and put true street tires on and it won't be faster

Front rear tread width?

3269lb is Corvette territory, I have to say I am disappointed that the weight is so high, I don't understand quoting dry weight anyway because the car cannot be run "dry". Horsepower and torque are both excellent, we know the aero is world class and nothing in the car world comes close in...

Hope all the speculation is correct especially top speed, certainly within the realm of possibility.

Trailer for 2017 GT This picture shows why you need a large space between wheel houses for the 2017 GT. The Cobra is at least 10" narrower than the new GT. The distance between wheel houses shown here is 85", not a lot of room if you have to hook up a tie down strap up anywhere near an...

I tried driving to events many years ago, all good until you break something, then you will wish you had trailered. Driving in traffic with a car that can do multiples of any speed limit is not much fun unless you are into being looked at. You can always do all the road driving you want at...

I have heard numbers over 900 HP during dyno testing but the engine would not live anywhere near that power level. Probably low to mid 600's HP and high 500's for torque. Would love to see weight below 2900 LB. that would help acceleration, braking and cornering power.

9mm = Girls gun

I always thought it was box length when selecting overall is about 4' longer

Trailer length It would be nice to haul a golf cart and extra spares but then you may need triple axles for tire load rating. I went with a 22 foot wedge nose because it is the largest trailer that I can make a U turn with in my drive way. It will hold the car, spare wheels, tools and 4-5...

I might have missed it but did not see width mentioned, you will want a minimum of 85" between inner fenders. I just bought a TPD with E track on the floor and a 9500 lb winch set up that is removable and latches to the E track. I got the electric tongue jack and four over the tire tie down...

I wonder how often miles to empty updates, my guess at that speed it might read 4-6

I agree completely, I had to increase spring rates dramatically at both ends, change the rate bias and eliminate designed in roll under steer to get my 05 to an acceptable handling level. Those cars were cruisers not handlers. Perhaps the new GT engine is using extra fuel to reduce intake...

I am hoping it is an indicator of big HP

Any guesses on HP, Torque, weight and tire sizes? My guesses: 625 hp, 550 lb/ft, 2990 lbs, 245/20 and 325/20
