2011 Ford GT500 spanks last year's model by nine seconds at VIR

[Birdman]

"We know firsthand that both the 2011 Ford Mustang V6 and GT aren't just plenty quick – they're downright scary fast compared to their predecessors. It should follow, that the king of the heap 2011 GT500 should be similarly faster than the 2010 model. Let's just go ahead and call that one an understatement."...........

Sweet! I'm assuming the car had the handling pack which makes all the difference in the world.

Thats pretty cool!!

Probably could have been a little better if he could stay off the rev limiter (hit it two or 3 times during the run). Not that I could drive anywhere near as good as he did. Just sayin'

I liked the "virtual dashboard". It also had steering wheel position. Must be some additional "instrumentation" to get this.

amazing is all I can say. This 2011 has almost all the extra stuff guys put into thier 07-08-09-10 model years as STOCK and I can bet the HP is well over the market number of 550. I am guess that stock car can push well close to 575 as is. Wow... what an improvement...

[Johnny Dangerously]

That was way cool.

I'm waiting for some commentary from TG about the track.
