I love LS Miatas! That little thing moves. Looks like the GT got the jump as well.

Thanks for sharing.

No, I let off at 160 because my ***** don't extend past that point in the Miata and he stayed on it. He hit every gear, although he did shift slower than I did.

My Miata weighs in at 2480 with no one in it and a half tank of gas. The Ford GT is around 3300 pounds. Superior aerodynamics, oh hell yes. My car is a turd in the wind.

The GT is a work of art. The whole time before the race, the single thought in my mind was "I'm not worthy".

Miata vs Ford GT

I have been threatening to put the old 350LT into my '91… Do you have a build thread for that Monster?

Nice runs! Ford GT's are such legit looking cars. Give me a white w blue stripes version, and I'd be set! Oh, and throw a Hefner or UGR turbo kit on it for fun

BTW, nice Miata conversion! Big power in a light package!

Gotta love the Ford GT. Awesome cars to drive. Serious rockstar status when you're driving one.

Here's the build thread, it's on a rotary site that I'm a vendor on:

http://www.rotarycarclub.com/rotary_...ad.php?t=14216

It's a LS3 416, Scat forged 4" crank, K1 H-beam rods, Mahle pistons, 243 heads flowing 299 CFM on the intake side, Ferrea valves. Approx 11.5:1 compression, Texas Speed MS3 cam. FAST 92/92 intake mani/TB. Sanderson **** headers, 1.5" primaries and 2.5" collectors. Haltech E11v2 standalone ECU, Devil's Own water injection controlled by the Haltech to spray 50/50 WM, Airaid C6 Z06 cold air intake. Exhaust is 2.5" duals with x-pipe into a pair of 3" Borla XR-1s.

On pump gas, I'm making 538 whp and 545 wtq on my Dynocom dyno. On MS109, I'm making 584 whp and 634 wtq.

According to him he didn't miss a gear, he just shifted slow.
