    Race car driving

    Definitely go to one of the top notch schools for driving as others have said Bondurant and Barber fit the bill. As far as college I would look to become an automotive engineer. First its a great career to begin with then second if your hired on by a race team, lots of contacts if your still...

    Rally 7 will be in...

    Great choice...Large number of Ford GT's in front of Andretti's Winery in Napa would be a great photo op. Idea? Im assuming the wives/girlfriends would love the wine tasting as well. Sonoma Pic East Coast: Bristol TN, Charlotte NC, maybe INDY?

    650 HP Supercharged Boss 302 Laguna Seca by Hennessey Performance

    The current gt500 is about 3750lbs(without the heavy mach 1000 stereo) or close to 150lbs heavier than the base Boss. I have not heard/seen the 4 corner weight for the LS. How much weight does the blower/intercooler and all the plumbing add to the Boss? I would wager that after the blower...

    650 HP Supercharged Boss 302 Laguna Seca by Hennessey Performance

    By adding weight and disrupting balance to the Boss 302 makes it a gt500 in my mind. If big power is your goal, I dont see how a blown al block dohc 5.0 beats the blown al block dohc 5.4? Want big power buy a gt500! Want a track dog buy a boss and keep it N/A!

    458 vs Mclaren 5th gear

    I have heard similar stories how every time Ferrari lends out a car to be tested Ferrari needs to know ahead of time what track, so they and their team can test and tune their car specifically for that track. The MP4 is a great car and anyone who has one on order will not be disappointed...

    13/14 gt500?

    The weights I have seen has the mustang gt at 3600lbs, and the gt500 hitting 3750lbs. While I do agree 400lbs will not happen without a major downsize in vehicle size, I still believe there is some work that can be done to reduce weight. Specially on the mustang gt's.

    13/14 gt500?

    Rumors are flying.... Pulled that quote off of another board. I have also heard there is no room for twins, and the vid showing the new mustangs at the ring sound like a blower scream!

    2012 GT500 to be unveiled Memorial Day weekend

    This makes sense. The 11 Ford Mustangs were released around Feb 2010. The 12 Mustangs were released around Feb/March 2011. With Ford showing off the new mustang 7/8 months before production officially begins in early 2012.

    Talk About Luck!!

    Reminds me of the joke on estate planning: Dan knew he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died. He decided that he needed to be with his dream woman to really enjoy it. One evening he was at a singles bar where he spotted the most attractive woman he had ever seen. Her...

    Andriod malware, Apple seems to be doing a better job

    As these devices transform from phone to computer that can also make phone calls you will see this more and more. I chose my phone based on its ability to be a pocket size computer, and that is what it is. Having said this I expect it to have everything that a small tablet would bring to the...

    Boss 302 first drive reviews are coming in

    I was curious as it seems to have dyno while at the press service at Laguna Seca. Did this LS edition have the production tune in it and was it running 91 or 93 oct, or even a dash of race gas 100 oct. Im assuming it was production tuned in Detroit to run 93.
