I believe it's been done already.. An acquaintance put a Ford engine in his third gen firebird.. Anyways, this thread is making me think of doing a meet/track day at our local track, LSX vs Ford. Would be pretty sweet IMO.. Ford tough with Chevy stuff.. lol

ill put this here like i did in WSM

A race with:
- all of the rubber scraped off the track
- a chase is a race
- no crossing the centerline in front of the other driver
- 1st to the finish line ends.

This would be a bad @$$ race. I love watching the KOTS race on youtube and would love to see it here. Sundays at RPR would be awesome. that track sucks anyways and seth scrapes the track every week, so.........

Daniel-yea they tend to get all butthurt. I dont understand. I saw the dyno numbers in that event and 2 vettes(one winters i believe) had the highest hp on the dyno. They got all mad at a couple of comments that I made...oh well.
"Bill Winters" had the highest dyno, I had the 2nd "winters97gt-Mark Weathers). Not sure why anybody would be mad? A lot of cars that put down more power, both Ford in Chevy in Houston. It was Bill's first ever dyno since he built the car by hand himself and tuned it on the street, and my car wasn't on the bottle. Things could have been a lot worse for the Ford boys, eitherway, it was a simple dyno and the guys running the show were extremely friendly and more than hospitable. Anybody that got butt hurt, well, that is just their personal issue. When it is called SVTvstheWorld, and two 800-900rwhp vettes show up, it is really not a big deal. Pretty common today among a lot of street cars.

This ^^^^. I would think when you call an event "SVT vs the world", you are calling out alot of high hp cars and would think they would be ready for the competition.

Sorry Mr. weathers?..I did it again. Jgarza-I agree. They said a couple big hp cars that would beat the top dynos couldn't make it.
