BTW, what's a stoke?
Fair enough. Hard to argue with that. A better comp would probably be the Boss v. Z06 and the Shelby v. ZR1. That changes things a little!

If Ford would put 305 Good Year's on the rear it would be lethal, absolutely LETHAL. Y u no use bigger tyres FoMoCo? I can't wait to see the GT500 and ZL1 in person on Friday. I'm literally giddy.

MB's are guilty of 'under tire/wheel'd' their cars. I'm not really sure- but I think it's more to do with meatier tires wear out a LOT quicker then narrower ones. Idk.

Personally the C63 needs 305's in the rear to keep that bitch unda control!

i think the zl1 is around 47k, which would keep the ford in the same ballpark. high-school kids are going to be dangerous with these in the parking lot!

Ford GT performance for 30% of the price? Yes please.

a coworker has a GT500 with work done. Once you hear the sound of a supercharger screaming over the sound of a flat out V8 through Flowmasters, you just...... get it. The sound is like cocaine.
