Just get a tune, larger lower pulley and long tubes for the '13 and you're there!

You'll need to hurry down. Pretty soon we'll be too darn hot to go to the track for the day.

Looks like they are going head to head with a ZL1.
Same day. Same dyno.

Review on Road and Track and comments about GT500 Nurburgring Times from Ford
"When we asked the SVT folks about the GT500's test times around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany, they politely declined to answer the question." click here it must be close to the Zl1's times... |

I apologize to y'all in advance, but I can't allow sloppy/bad information to stand... And now for your history lesson LOWDOWN: Ford built 859 Boss 429's in 1969, which included two Boss Cougars. The minimum for NASCAR homologation was indeed 500 for 1969, but Ford built more than that thinking they'd sell them, which was a bad idea because they had a hard time moving them. I should know, I own KK1912. In 1970, Ford built exactly 500 Boss 429's, enough to meet homologation rules, and not a unit more (due to the stuggles in unloading the previous year's build). They were assembled at Kar Kraft because the width of the engine required numerous modifications/changes from production in both steering and front aprons that would not have been practical on the moving assembly line. But I've gotta ask, WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR POINT? Are you too dim to realize that the 1969 ZL1 was HUGELY more expensive than either the Boss 429 or the Charger 500?? You finish your inaccurate blabber with this comment that GM installed the ZL1 engine on the assembly line to cut costs, yet the ZL1 cost almost double the other two cars. And what does ANY of it have to do with the FACT that both the 2012 ZL1 and 2007-2013 GT500's are mass-produced right on the same assembly lines, intermixed right along with their other more pedestrian brethren? They are production cars, they don't go to any 3rd-party outfitter, period. |
