ok, AS I was pulling into the gym the other day this guy is pulling out of the restoration building he owns right beside me in a Ford GT40 white with the blue stripes..He rolls down the window and says "this is the slow one" stating that he has another one that is black with silver stripes..well by now Im like "oh ****" can I look in it he says go ahead, so i drop my stuff, and without even touching the car i just stick my head in the window, and look around...after admiring it for a while, he asked me what I had in mine, and i told him it was a blown 436 running 16lbs of boost with methanol injection..So this is where it gets fun..He asks me if i would like to run them sometime, me vs the fast one..Now i dont know what he's got in it but i know the original ones are no slouches..but i do think I might actually be able to win...First Im going to find out what the "fast one" has in it b4 i take that challenge but if for nothing else i want to see what it can do..let me know what you guys think, and with my setup *pending what he has* do you think i have enough to win? and yes im definately going to bring a camera with me

I say go for it. he might be just tryin to get in your head. You should have plenty of power to give him a great run if he has anything worthy.

Definitely go buy some mickey thompson dr's so traction won't be an issue.
get it on video if you can.

ZEEMAN

just get a camera and bust his ***. i think ford guys have a different defintion of fast than us LS1 boys. but seriously i think it will be a pretty good race just get it on tape

Like someone already said, just make sure you have the right tires and you'll really give him a run for his money. You already have to know you stand a chance if he challenged you with the faster one, after you told him what you had.

i dont know what a blown 436 would be afraid of.

I dunno either, F-16's? Thats all I could think of

Holy crap is all I can say about your dyno #'s. My GN is sick and onnly turns 740+ at 24#'s with more in it obviously, but your engine is just plain nice and you will smoke him so Baaaaaaaadddddd, it woulnt even be funny. He is lucky if he is pushing 500 rwhp. possibly less, which is still awsome, but nothing in the same ball park as yours.

Maybe a forged internals GT40 with a big turbo and a bit of spray to back it up...

Dont write that thing off, they are insane

Well I have a pair of fresh m/t slicks that i bought and kept, when i thought about taking it to the track, just never did...Like i said earlier, im sure i can take him..and there is no fear here, hell ill race that F16 if he wanted it that bad lol..i just thought id get your guys opinions b/c you dont see too many gt40's racing, hell ya reall dont see that many at all period.. but thanks for the votes of confidence.. and i think my dyno numbers would be higher, if i can get the damn thing to stop spinning the tires on the rollers

God your car is sick do u have pics? You will smoke him hes probly got juice in the other one but will still not be near you. u ever think about juicing your ride?

ZEEMAN

arent those things like crazy light???and it should hook like a **** with all the weight on the rear right?

862rwhp @6300 rpm and 798rwtq 5600rpm is not going to have a problem with anything short of an F1 car, or an airplane. That much power should smoke most bikes

I think it would be a good race just because the fact that those ford GT's weight like nothing at all

Is this for $ ?
'Cause if its not why even hesitate?

This guy has two original GT40's? That is extrodinary! If memory serves me correct they were ~400HP and only a handfull were built. No way he modified it. I ran along side one at an open track event. I was too worried to even try to get close. I didnt want to accidently take it out.

Racehead

Your absolutely gonna spank his GT40's like they've never been spanked before. They make maybe 425 rwhp and if memory serves me correctly weigh about 2900 lbs. Not slow by any means, but not EVEN in the same ballpark as you. Once you hook up, you're GONE

asnxps2

what size turbo do you got on that bad boy?

Im running a single 96MM turbo from precision turbo, rated at i believe 1775hp at the flywheel..the question about the spray, yeah i've thought about running it something simple like a 50shot, which from what i've seen will actually net me closer to 75 or 80 extra horses. Now that i've had time to think about this race, i know that my only problem in the race isnt going to be losing, its going to be hooking..Im breaking traction if i nail it going 70mph down the highway, so thats why im going to put the slicks on it and well see if that will help. the suspension is set up so that the front end wont lift. sorta of like the heavily moddified corvettes they just squat and go. But yeah I told my friend about this race, and he told me that he would ride with me and bring his camera..so its going to be on film..the other thing that gets me though is the fact that the GT40's weigh next to nothing, and with all the mods i've done to lighten my car its still a pig compared to that thing 3400lbs* with me in it. but thanks again guys for the confidence boosters

Diolar Magnum

run him, win, and get it the hell on video PLEASE.
