what will he say next?!?!
Damn someone replied before I logged off.
Listen, do I think this car has some quarks(sp). Of course! What first year car doesn't. I still say its a remarkable value for the price and performance. Is it a better value than Z06, I'm not sure. But the people who own both cars say it is.
Hell, we probably have met and race before. I'm not like this in person. You can ask the people that I hang out with on this forum. They know I like to stir the pot, especially with the ones who can't take sarcasm. I'll be at FoxnHound on 249 this week. Feel free to come. There might be a couple of Cobra owners up there.
Some of you guys are making an elephant out of a fly. This car was a test mule for this Samurai racing team or whatever they're called. They openly stated that they were going to see how fast they could go with a 100% stock trans. If it didn't break at 10.5, it would have broken sometime or another since they would have kept going faster and faster.
This is the first time a production street car has used a rear mounted dual clutch system. That is race car (road race) technology for those of you who don't know. It works incredibly well around a track and that is what its designed for. Race cars with this kind of setup aren't meant to be launched over and over from a standstill.......that is how you break shit plain and simple. This is a brand new arena for everybody so it will take a while before the weak points in the transmission are analyzed and the right countermeasures are available. I don't know of any terminators with a completely stock drivetrain that have survived 100+ launches on drag radials running 10.5. Something will break. Those of you saying the GTR trans is crap because a GT500 can do 10's on a T56 are beyond retarded. If you even had an elementary understanding of the engineering required in a trans setup like the GTR, not to mention its revolutionary awd system, you'd shit your pants. It is the first production car of its kind. Give it some props for running a friggin 10.5 on stock parts.
Not to mention that you can count the number of documented trans failures on stock GTRs on one hand. There are dozens of japanese and american tuners that have had zero trans problems with modded 600hp cars using them as test beds for parts development. I agree that Nissan screwed up with the LC warranty issue. They are fixing that for future models. But its like one GTR trans fails and the entire domestic community goes apeshit. You guys are worse than a sowing circle.
So this car has over 600hp and over 100+ launch control usage(with drag radials) and you people consider this shitty? Typical redneck ideology!
Put some slicks on your car and launch it at 4500 rpm over 100 times and see what breaks. You idiots seem to forget that you are comparing an awd car to rwd. But you imbeciles can't decipher shit with brains the size of mosquito nutz.

I can't see how.
Z06 is cheaper, faster in a straight line, and on a real track with real street tires, it's just as fast!

Says the person with a 96 305hp mustang lol
so this car weighs 3900lbs, pulls 1.4 60' times, and mid 10's, and DESTROYS nearly any production car around a race track....
Only on svtperformance will the jealous rednecks say thats "fail".

If you notice, the car seemed to run and launch fine. I think it was the added weight of 25psi hanging on it's nuts that was the breaking point.
Why are people quik to put down this car,mustangs dont break? all cars break.
Ive had mustangs since 87 and and love them ive had too cobras 99 and 03.
