the driver was sawing at the wheel, but exactly how much? ie, if you remove the stability controls, does he loop it?
IMo the kinds of controls it has lets a driver stomp the throttle in a turn and just steer it. sure there is counter steering, but maximum acceleration. every ounce the tires have. its right up there with the newest ferarri controls IMO.
i base that on a 4000-4200 lb car with 305 F1 goodyears running times like that.
turn the controls off and i bet its significantly slower than a 2013 GT500. its not like ford can just respond. there are no active controls in a S197 suspension. minute balancing of the car with the shocks. If it begins to oversteer lighten the right rear. stiffen the fronts. dynamically rebalance the car in real time.
there is no ford that can do that.
this is the Z28 everyone has wanted, and im thinking about it seriously.

they could give the shelby big tires, 700hp, and anything else. the electronics make it impossible to compete.

Yea, man I pm'd you with the confirmation number to tell you where it's at.. Sorry about the whole mess. You can thank unit213 the mod on this section here for the trouble. He banned my brother z99ls1 for NOTHING in stopsign32v's stupid a$$ thread and now as you can see he has restricked use and cannot use his pm's. We have contacted a higher auothority on the site about him and he should get his pm's back soon. Even after I told unit213 that my brother had sold a throttle body for $265 to you he still didn't unlock the pm **** so I could get your address to send it so apparently he doesn't care if you got screwed or not. Again my brother is sorry about the hassle, but as you can see from his feedback he always gets his stuff out quick and this was just a big mess up because his profile getting messed up by a mod on here.
