While not in the same class, I feel like the f10 m5 should be brought up here. Sure it has 4 doors and is opposite personality of a gt500 but its track capable at its near 4400lb weight. Point is that a little engineering can overcome things like curb weight usually at the expense of brake and tire life.
Approx 4400 lbs and $100k? 2.8s 0-60 and 10.8 1/4 mile.
Dont they use them for ring cars? Or used to
Everyone needs to settle down about the weight. Serious racers will find ways to strip 100-150lbs and the average joe on the street will be grinning too much to give a damn about a few hundred pounds.
How many base GTs with TVS kits, added coolers, bigger brakes, higher fluid capacities, and more rubber would weigh in under 4k lbs? Probably none. By the time you mod a 3600lb GT to meet this performance level (for more than one pull or couple laps), you've added several hundred pounds! So be glad its f'ing 2019 and we can buy cars from multiple dealers with 700+hp that are conveniently engineered to do so without blowing up in 5k miles.
