[QUOTE="GTSpartan, post: 2777982, member: 21531"] Ask anyone who road races (AC427cobra) and they will tell you that a S/C is not the weapon of choice for extended romps on the throttle. A turbo becomes more efficient the faster you spin it, while a S/C becomes less efficient and creates more friction (heat). Fuel economy has nothing to do with it for racers. In ALMS and Grand Am you can use either system, but NOBODY uses a S/C. They either run N/A or turbo. A S/C simply is not a good choice for road racing. Ford probably had no intention of ever officially racing the GT and felt the cost to develop a 550hp N/A motor was not worth it. [/QUOTE]
