Everyone hates Hennessey on here. So this video doesn't count. The GT500 won.
I just looked at the weight. The 720s is 1000lbs lighter. OMG. What a stupid race.
True, the term midgets is not "PC" anymore. I am having to be PC all the time. Just when I am PC then "they" change the term again and I am the bad guy all over again. Why can't "they" just quit getting their panties in a wad over terms.
So you really think the heavy GT500 is going to beat this hand built, cammed, tuned 1000hp motor, MagnaRide, 1LE package. All of this and get this at a Chevy dealer.
Really?? you obviously have been drinking...
Ok, all of the jabs aside, brought on by all of the 'stang rock throwing: Yes, the GT500 is a great looking car and as you know I am no Mustang outsider. I like the GT500 and the C8. The back end of the C8 is way too busy and the low wing looks terrible. GM is pitiful when it comes to "fake"...
So you agree it looks way better than the Mustang. Great. But then who is going to race a car like this, no one. A mid engine car that will become an Icon in American racing, if not the world, with an ME powered car that will be close to 1000hp. See, no one will race a car like that.
I know a lot of people like to put a lot of meaning into the 60'. And it is an indication of what is to come of that particular run. But there so many cars that can make up for it after 60'. Just depends a lot on the car and of course the driver hooking up or not before 60'
This guy on C8 just got this to the next stage and will be delivered soon. This is one nice looking car. Way better than the GT500. Red looks good. This is a whole other car, not just a Mustang GT with a blower on it.
Exactly, that is like the GT500 getting a 10.6 and then never getting one again. It was a fluke. It is always what has something done for you lately. So when the guy loses a race, he can say,...."but 2 years ago someone got a 10.6!!"
