Ford GT... Did anyone happen to see the new MM&FF. They tested a Ford GT with a smaller pulley on stock Goodyears and then DR's. It went 11.07 @ 132 on stock tires then a 10.92 @ 128-9 on DR's! 
Not too bad for a $20 pulley swap.

Where have you been you big dork??? Have you learned anything yet in school? You've been going long enough...
Anyhow, good to see you on the site.
As for the GT wait till Curtis gets his hands on one. It'd be like his Cobra. $ miles on the odo and already a full bolt-on car...

Chris, what are you hearing about the new Shelby's coming out next year? I'm definitely interested in the Shelby, but I think Ford is going to price it beyond reason. My car is sold. The guy that is buying it is picking it up on Monday, so I'm looking at other options.

I don't know when it'll hit the road. I just expect if Curtis could work it, he'd swing one, and it'd have mods before it had miles.
