13 extra coolers on top of the 11 or 12 they already added should do.

LT4...lol

The Ford GT seems to be a flop to me. 400k mid engine supercar and they won't release any times on it or let any of the magazine's. Normally they release stats before they ship the cars to owners.

Why are they racing two cars that aren't even in the same universe? You may say the Camaro gave it a run for it's money but who gives a F. Bring a gun to a gun fight. Just because the knife has won before doesn't mean much where I come from. It has been a while since Ford attempted super car status. Bring a Vette out and remind them in a way that is fitting.

Zl1 > fgt

Not like the zl1 was really ringing it out either. A zl1 1LE might be the best drivers car on the market

Camero is the ford GT main competition.

Ford still won't allow magazines to publish performance stats for the GT. It's an absolute turd for the money

Who really gives a **** about a $450,000 car that you can't even buy anyway. I'm sure it'll be quick, but only Camero quick.

GM guys give a **** about it just as much as ford guys do, but only so they can talk **** about it like immature childrens.

It sucks that they havent released any specs for it. Very dissapoint indeed.

FGT is an awesome car. Very exotic and limited. But not the most performance for the dollar.

The main thing that dissapoints me is that no specs have been released and the main thing is, learning that the car was actually contracted out to a Canadian company to build.

Fgt is a true exotic, very exclusive car but team camaro did an amazing job with the mullet.

Couldn't agree more. Performance bang-for-the-buck isn't the only factor in a car, its certainly an awesome car. But not releasing any specs and the car being contracted out is disappointing for sure.

And we all could only wish we were Hio... lol

I don't get how they could be exclusive just because they are over priced and made in limited numbers. They only made a few Delorians and they were expensive at the time. I just don't see what makes it desirable at all.

It is also easier to chase someone around the track than lead. ZL1 was driving into the corners harder.

^ Probably could, that is a sweet setup you have. Not quite sure what would happen versus you and a Ford GT on that real long straight in the Nürburgring though.
