[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15593490, member: 121775"] I said it won't run 9.65 on the street, and it won't. That time was run on a prepped drag strip in ideal conditions. And for ****'s sake, I didn't say Ford would mimic the weight savings of the GT350R-C. You implied that it would be impossible for Ford to get the S550 to the weight of the extra portly C7 Z06. I simply used the GT350R-C as an example that, in race livery, the S550 is actually [I]lighter[/I] than the C7 Z06. If the GT350R didn't have the Magnaride suspension, its weight would almost be within spitting distance of the C7 Z06. Ford is already working on carbon fiber composite engine cradles (k-members). I'm sure they have other composite parts in the works, as well. Now, yet again, with the use of their carbon fiber composites and other lightweight materials, the next GT500 could indeed be near the weight of the C7 Z06. I don't know how I can make that statement any simpler, and I'm not even going to try anymore. [/QUOTE]
