First off, i am a Ford guy and i own a 2008,GT500 which i still race. I love mustangs and love Ford(except for Greedy dealers like Fred Beans), and i love my Cobra.
But last night, i took my Stock Redeye with DR’s to the local (to me) track. No special driver, with engineers on hand and specially prepped track. Just Friday night Test and tune at Atco. Raced with the tires i drove in on, and that i also usually drive on daily.
ripped off a 10.22@134. And it was effortless.
I think someone caught the 10.22@134 on video so look for it on Youtube.
Why am i posting it here? Well, i thought you all might like to know, before you plunk down 75k-95k plus 5-10 in markups on your GT500, that there are alternatives out there. No, it won't be as fast around a race track. But these Redeyes, do absolutely Rip at the Strip, and they make great everyday cars that can actually carry 4-5 people.
And the value proposition cant be beat!
My OTD cost- $58k - new 2019 redeye.
Its a great time to be alive when we have awesome offerings from both Ford and Mopar!
Keep in mind, i am not DragStrip hero like Evan Smith. Im just a normal guy with his 4th trip to the track with his Redeye, and a not unlimited budget.
