[QUOTE]Originally posted by dpracingdan: [QB] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRzHEPeK33U Guys, this is my new favorite video. Its at Thunderhill up in Nor-Cal. The GTR is a Pro Grand-Am car, carbon wide body, butloads of racing mods, huge hoosier slicks, etc etc. 90k for the car, probably another 20k in mods. = $110k The mustang is an 04 Cobra (WITHOUT IRS) but with the full GR40 suspension setup, making 600hp and only 440tq, solid axle, DOT R6 Tires, and GR 4 on 4 brakes. 30k car, plus 20 mods= $50k Bruce Griggs sent tme this video himself, telling me about the event. The GTR appears to be much faster on the infield (corners) than the mustang, but in reality the Mustang driver (also a rookie) is going in a lot slower on purpose, to be much faster on exit. I should also point out that after this race, the GTR has completely destroyed its brakes, and they were so hot it blistered all of their tires. The mustang dude is just a joe-shmoe weekend racer who showed up, missed practice, jumped into qual and took pole .5 seconds faster than the pro-team GTR. Dont get me wrong, I love GTRs, and am stoked to see one racing- but you cant deny how frickin cool it is to watch the Mustang put a beat down on a car thats twice the price. You should also know its Bruce Griggs motto to never show all your cards- and only win by as much as you have to. [/QB][/QUOTE]
