Tungsten no stripe, nice rare combo, and still on GY tires (Bridgestones are a great improvement).

The results were not very surprising. Still cool to see, and hear.

Anyone have a clue what a 427 car runs in the 1/4? I don't feel like it would keep up with the modern stuff still but seems kind of dumb to run the 289 car against them.

I doubt anyone has ever invested the time to try. Also, 1st gear would be so long that it would bog for a long time on a sticky track. Would definitely be a disappointing number

You aren't kidding. Just took a minute to look it up. 427 car shows 12.9 122 in the quarter mile. First gear can run up to 91 mph! That's pretty bonkers

Well they were trying to use only street GTs. And the 289 Mark III is the only street version of the original GT40 made.

Ahhh I didn't know the 427 cars never made it to the street. Thanks

And they only ever produced 7 of them, so it's a stretch to even call them a production car.

Homologation special so it still counts. Hey, technically the Nissan R390 and Toyota GT-One were production cars too. The MkIII makes cars like the CLK-GTR and 911 GT1 look as common as an F150.
