I attended a Fun Run sponsored by The S. FL Toys group. We met at the Ft. Lauderdale Collection and ran over to Naples via I 75 (AKA alligator alley). There were three brand new Porsche GT 2's there. They said they were the first batch in the country. The Porsche GT 2's are great looking cars. I really like the color coordinated interiors. If I'm not mistaken these cars are considered the fastest most powerful factory offering of a 911 style car.
The three GT 2's spent he afternoon racing each other and terrorizing all of the Lambos. The were very excited to out run a LP 640..
Than the yellow GT 2. Pulled up next to me for a the typical 3 horn honk and go roll on race. They did the honking and the GT did the racing.. I ran them starting from 2nd gear at 60 mph. When I went from 3rd to 4th they were some far behind even I was in disbelief. They were so far back I wish I had a video...:biggrin
It was an overnight affair. After we all got checked in to the hotel most of the group went down to the pool to hang out. I was with my buddy and we were sitting next to some of the people from the run. One of a the guys next to us asked my friend what he was driving.. Than the guy said he was in the Yellow GT 2. They were taking about all of the cars etc.. I said did you run that "Ford GT "
He got a big smile on his face and said "you know we raced everything out there and beat them all and that Ford GT just ran away from us !! We were shocked !! "
I smiled and said thanks for you honest assessment of the race that was me !! " Than he said well that thing must be seriously modified. And I replied just a pulley, tune and the Accufab X pipe.. :wink
The next day the guy who owned all three GT 2's on the run came to our table at breakfast and told me he couldn't believe how fast the GT was and he enjoyed seeing the flames from the pipes .. He said his wife was driving the Ferrari 599 GTB. After he got waxed in the GT 2 he wanted to swap cars and give me a run in that .. Now that would have been a good race !!
I think it would be a good race between a stock GT and a stock GT 2 but the GT 2's are no match for a pulley & tunned car.. :thumbsup
The Orange G car is my buddies. He did the SE look with black wheels and it looks great. The Teal Murci in the last photos had a incident and went home on a flat bed. A Lambo G car blew a motor !! We all left Ft. Laud. with a full tank of gas.. When we got to the hotel most of the guys said man I'm on Fumes.. The miserly GT still had a 1/4 tank and was acknowledged as the fastest car on the run... It was a proud day for Helenor .. :thumbsup
