Youre a complete moron... do you have any idea the fuel system needed to support the amount of boost this car is running now?

obviously you have never built a twin turbo extremely large supercharged application..

on other cars in its class the entire system needs to be upgraded.. pumps.. regulators injectors.. and usually on fords the entire computer..

its amazing the engineering Ford put in the GT stock.

this car is flat out sick..

Ive worked on a 900 hp 5.0 stang with a granatelli custom built blower with 32 PSI and it was a 8 second car... and required alot of work but this is just insane..

Hey guy, we aren't talking about your '89 5.0 with 120hp from the factory. The Ford GT is a straight up race car from the factory, plain and simple. Of course the motor is going to be able to withstand high boost, and of course the fuel system is up to par, I'm sure Ford over engineered it that way.

I never said anything about it not being an awesome car, cause it is. I'm just not getting my rocks off because they were able to use the same motor and fuel system that a race car uses.

You're right, I've never built a twin turbo extremely large supercharged application... grats on that there guy.

the car is NOT a race car.. #1.. (its a 50 state emssions legal car..with a real body that passes US crash certifications and requirements) and
#2 Stock Stangs are 225 hp.
#3 the fuel needed to support 2 turbos on a monster like this is way over what it takes to feed it in stock configuration..
even the techs there were amazed that it didnt need upgrading and I'd just bet they have 190000000 more exp than me and any other car cars here put together..

usually applications like this require new bigger rails, bigger injectors, and a pump at the very least..

the amazing thing here is that Ford spent the extra money and did it to the point that is basically can support double its stock HP. thats saying alot..

now go back and play with your matchbox cars and let the real motorheads talk.

Thanks for reiterating my point...

Yes, in normal applications doing something like that to a car would require fuel system upgrades however the Ford GT is by no means a normal car.

Ok, no the GT is not a race car in the literal meaning, but for all practical terms, it is indeed a race car.

sigh cant explain anything to people that have never even looked under thier own hood.. its like trying to explain e=mc2 to a 1st grader..

nm you just go on thinking the GT is some extrodinary "race" machine when in fact its just as normal as the new shelby..
or a vette in the same class..

this isnt a Saleen S7 or an Enzo.. its a run of the mill buy off any Ford dealers lot GT..
they are a dime a dozen.

The new Shelby and the new Z06 are superior performance machines, epically the Z06. The new Z06 is infact extraordinary to be able to get the performance you get out of it for around 65-70k.

There is nothing run of the mill about the Ford GT, I hardly think that a car costing upwards of 150k would be considered a dime a dozen. :disgust:

EDIT: You're an idiot.

lol there are a ton of Ford GTs running around Houston and Sugar land hell there are 3 sitting at the local exotics dealer..
and they wont be there long..

I have seen in my small city alone at least 10 different GTs....
of course Houston is a car town and has always been a haven for sports cars.. and exotics..
there are 2 Henessey Vipers with over 1000 HP that street race here as well as a 1300 hp Corvette C5.. there is also a red/white Ford GT here that street races as well..

Ferraris and other high end exotics are common place and can even be rented to the rich on Westheimer..

So just becasue you live in a location people dont buy exotics or fast cars doesnt make them uncommon..

and please 140k? (average price around here) there are freaking Mercedes and BMWs around here that are driven daily that cost more than that..

First off nested qoutes are bad people.

Secondly, I want to see this thing run against the soon to be released Lingenfelter C6 Z06 TT, and I want to see them both hook up and run clean.

That'd be the race of the ages there.

Okay, I'm going to wait for the post about this guy killing himself in that car.

That's crazy powerful.

hell yah did you see the professional driver spin the customers car inadvertantly on the strip....
that thing is making insane torque and breaking loose drag radials halfway down the 1/4...

and the track is WAY stickier than pavement is..

that thing must be a handful to drive on the streets.

People that acutally bought one and drive it around

Leaving the Top Gear studio, the immobiliser refused to un-immobilise itself. So the car was pushed into the hangar and I went home instead in a rented Toyota Corolla.

Ford sent a tow truck, changed the immobiliser and delivered the car to my house the following day. ?Is it fixed?? I asked. ?Yes,? they said.

It wasn?t. At three in the morning the alarm blew. And then again at four. This meant my wife started to refer to it as ?that f****** car?, which took away a bit of the sheen, if I?m honest.

Five minutes out of the Ford garage I received a text to say my car had been stolen. And then, in the next half hour, three more. So, counting the two I?d received before I was even out of bed, that meant my car had been stolen five times before 9am.


When Ford gave me the car back after its third hospital trip in as many weeks, I didn?t ask if the security system was fixed. Because the notion of it still being broken was simply inconceivable.

cliffs - alarm keep rining after being fix 3 times... quality is definitely an issue

well thats what i meant... it wasnt the newbie owner driving..
it was one of the guys that build them and are used to big horsepower cars..

I wonder what the stock 6 speed is rated at powerwise..
ford trannys are notorious for blowing up under horsepower...

now Saleen builds these for Ford and the problems have gone away.

literally like trying to run on ice...
