One thing you need to remember is that your chances of finding a GT500 out there that is willing to race is most likely not gonna be stock. In which case you're gonna need to dump a lot more money...

I have 2 quotes for a build on my GT500. One puts it around 800 RWHP and the other puts it at closer to 900 RWHP. And a lot of these guys are doing these upgrades on pump gas. And it is far cheaper...

I'm not really an "advocate" for the chiller. All this time I have just been emphasizing the advantages of the chiller for DD use especially in high temp and high humidity climates.

You are right, I was a GT500 basher. And I still kinda am. There are some areas that could have been improved. But I do think that Ford simply ran out of time. Another 2 years of development and I...

We all know that not many manufacturers, if any at all, can keep up with GM at the same price point. Much less with only a slight MSRP increase. So it should be no surprise that the GT500 is no ZL1...
