Default Twin turbo AND Supercharged Ford GT?!

Well I'v never been a firm believer in turbo/supercharger setups as I have always had the closed-minded view thats its redundant and makes no sense what-so-ever. Well was I ever proven wrong! We had this FORD GT on the dyno the other night. The car is a full street car that the owner uses for top speed runs... so far if I remember correctly he went 232 in 5th and it has 6 gears. Considering this is something everybody doesnt see everyday I figured I'd post some pics. Im not sure if I can disclose the HP #'s but lets just say it was a nice amount. I believe the most made on a stock GT yet; and the motor has never been cracked open! The entire car is just a work of art. It is almost entirely made of aluminum and carbon. I love the billet upper/lower a-arms on the front and rear!

looks like that laptop is using hondata F Pro.

adn I suppose this answers my question of what to do if someone ever gave me a blank check to buy and mod any car how i wanted.

that thing is nice.

If he is from Texas he might of competed at the Texas Mile.
I have a few supra buds that run the Texas mile...

228mph...but I'm pretty sure using all 6 gears. I would love to see the 5th gear vid of this beast.

Thats SCT. The processor codes are expensive for Ford GTs! Unfortunately we do not have those codes...only the Ford Diesel / Cobra / GT stuff / GM / Dodge..

My buddies Ford shop in NC has a customer with two Ford GT's of each color available...one stock and the other twin turbos....Damn car collectors!


Nice ENZO!
