GT Go FAST! Me Likey!!

I upgraded my GT with pulley/tune, Ford Racing short shifter, Ford Racing transaxle cooler, Accufab axle bolts and Accufab intake sleeve. The GT Guys did the work in August.

Before the work was done I instrument tested it with V-Box at a closed course facility and it did 0-60 in 3.7 seconds and 11.8 @ 124 mph in the quarter.

We finally got around to the "after" testing, and the numbers are now 0-60 in 3.50 seconds and 11.6 @126 in the quarter. There was a clutch slippage issue that WAS NOT the car's fault :bored but after a cool down it pulled those numbers. The test driver felt there may be a bit more in it, as he only got one good run before it started slipping again and he didn't want to push it. The clutch has seemed fine ever since (this was over two weeks ago) so hopefully it's okay. I guess there's one way to find out for sure. :biggrin

Here's the testing coverage (with video):

Anway, the car is FAST. As many of you know who have had the same mods, it's truly amazing how driveable the car remains despite it's MASSIVE power.

Did I mention the GT is the coolest car ever? Whatever, never hurts to reiterate. :banana

Karl, use Jamie's numbers. :lol He has the same mods and ran 10.90@132. Me too, but 11.6@133 on a day it snowed.

Good stuff as always. National pub for The GT Guys :banana

I can always get it to play, but sometimes I have to hit the "play" button a couple times...

I look forward to the day when I start the path to bumping up sustainable HP. These cars are so easily modded to make such huge hp numbers it's almost a joke.
