What was done to that vette? Guarantee you it's a completely different drivetrain so it's a fun race to watch but not a good indication of what this race could be. Great vette though, thing was squatting pretty damn good when it was passing the camera.

the guys racing are my friends dad and his best friend w/ the GT.
vette is a 383 w/ 200 shot. a clean little sting ray, and at the point and time of the filming of the movie, the Ford GT is still stock.
