I took the GT out to a track day at Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia:

How did it run? How did it compare to other cars you've tracked there?

The car was a blast!!!!!!!! I can compare it to a GT-3 which is a great track car, and to a Ferrari Stradale, which is also a great car. The Ford GT has way more in the power department. It required full attenion to throttle control. The handling was right there with both of the above cars. As far as I know, there are no track tires available yet, which would be a welcomed addition.

I was on the track with 360's, 911's 355's, z06's, stradale's, running in the yellow group. I was most interested in how the GT would do against the stradale, as it was one of my favorite cars. The GT was able to stick with the stradale throughout the turns, and walk away on the straights. I can only assume that all of the drivers had similar ability. Can't wait to get back in two weeks.

I was in the yellow group, most 360's, Stradale's, z06's, 911's, BMW's. Didn't get passed all day. It was great fun! I do wish someone made "R" compound tires for the GT. It's the most fun I've had at the track. :biggrin :biggrin :biggrin
