Who said GTRs own the 1/2-1 mile competitions?

That's fast AF! Congrats to them!

Isn't the fastest 1/2 mile car right around 259/260mph? That's only 19/20mph more than this GT. With the proper gearing it could do that in the 1/2.

If they gear it for the 1/2 mile would it still do 300 in the mile?
I also laughed at "only" 19/20 mph more.

No.

I understand 19/20mph is a big difference once you hit 200mph+. I'm simply saying that these guys are within the world record 1/2 mile trap speed, while not even trying to accomplish that goal.

Congrats to M2k, I have been watching that FGT for years now as they keep climbing the ladder, that Accufab 5.4 is impressive. I can't imagine how 300mph must feel.

I think with correct 1/2 mile gearing and on the right tire that car would do some insane speeds in the 1/2 mile, not to say 240 is slow lol. But I bet it would be close to 260.

Yes, GTR's (3,500), Lambo's (3,500+), Malone's Z(going higher CR and twin Promod 91's will see (3,500+), and Sal's Viper(probably 2,500+) own 1/2 mile racing. Geared for a mile they would probably lift off the runway.

Impressive feat for sure, not taking that away from them. You did mention 1/2 mile though haha.

Doesn't the alpha queen GTR run 229 in the quarter? It would probably burn up like a comet on reentry if they tried to run a mile.

I'm not a fan of the 6 either.

Ok. But it is straight retarded to "Hur Dur betcha thur 6 banger ain't doin dis" *drool*

This GT has had YEARS of development and testing and racing. Oh wait no, it has the stock 5.4 that came in it...It just hit the 300 mark, along with what other cars? For a car to claim the record and then use that to compare a completely unrelated vehicle not even in the conversation. Straight ****ing dumtarded.

Let's see the new ford GT do that. I will say it again. For screwed up going with a V6 in that thing.
I think we’d all chose V8 over V6 and, while the 3.5TT is impressive, many people would chose the early model GT just for the V8.
Non of that matters because Ford built the current GT to win LeMans for the 50th anniversary and the V6 allowed the best chance in their class. Obviously a good choice as they won.
So, no need to hate on the current GT, both are great continuations of the GT legacy.
