TY pokey. Sounds like a fun night. I've been thinking of using the GT's for a while now. Still, I'd rather be on the Gulf Coast beaches this week!
Have a good night all, I'll catch ya Saturday night1

LOL 3D! The tracks I kinda pulled out of my hat. We may just do track vote for all races.

Well, I'm servering a self imposed suspension, so I meant that it figures the Ford GT would be used this week. Oh well..... Hope everyone has fun, it's probably the best car in the game to run stock.

Awesome, always loved the Ford GT. It remains my one ultimate 'if I could have any car' car!

Yes, I love it too, for such brute power it really does handle well stock. This is one of those cars that needs heavy suspension tuning once you add power and take away weight.

Well, I've always found that with the heavier hitting cars, such as the GT, Enzo, or SLR, understanding just how much speed they carry into the corners can make it a bit difficult to allow the car to work well.
If I had a dollar for every time I've heard how the Enzo can't turn, I'd be nearly there to buy a GT outright!

Indeed, yet the Enzo is an outstanding car stock. But can be easily over-driven.

Over driving is the problem. With such power, cars like those mentioned almost beg to be flat-footed out of the turns. Snap oversteer is sure to result!
