Got to drive a Ford GT - PDenbigh - 06-05-2005
... as in, "the" GT, all 550whp of it!
It was SO smooth, and yeah, so unspeakably fast. A throttle roll in third gear from 30-110 went by in about 5 seconds. /yikes. A clutch dump in 2nd sent both rear 315's smoking. at 50 mph.
The thing that amazed me the most was that it was such a smooth ride! And yet, when you punched it, it didn't squat at all. And the brakes make your eyeballs pop out. Go engineering!
How? I'm at Watkins Glen right now, and a good friend of some of my XR buddies just bought it and brought it up for us all to play in. I took it out a twisty country road. Tomorrow I'll catch a ride at the Glen and feel it at it's best. And then I'll pass out.
The guy that ownes it is really cool (duh...). He's sending it away in two weeks to Rousch (sp?) to have an additional 150hp added to it. And he's gonna track it often. It's black with silver racing stripes, keep you eyes open if you're tracking in the north.

awesome, i'm very jealous. why does it need another 150hp though? sounds like someone has more money than he knows what to do with... i take paypal if he's interested in helping others out
