ford gt vs gt2

[kleonard]

Just wondering does anyone know what time a ford gt goes round the ring in... had one on track against me a while back... the gt2 was about 2-3 seconds faster around the lap...!!

A quick google brought these lists up....

996GT2 = 7.46 & Ford GT = 7.42 and 7.52 from this list which is so far the only list I can find with the Ford listed. Check out the current sportauto listings with no Ford but does back up the 7.46 for the GT2.

Found this on the m5board, again with no Ford but it's probably an old list.

As far as I'm aware the Ford GT has never set an official ring time. I'm not sure it it was even ever tested on the ring.

its strange when look at the list and see cars with 100-150 bhp more power than a gt2 like the slr and still slower around the ring....??

you need to consider power to weight though - the GT2 is a pretty light car, especially compared to a SLR (which, lets not forget has an auto box)..

The GT2 is a stunning car i have one with the DMS chip on it iss running 550bhp at the moment and it is awsomely quick from 100 to 200.

Thinking of getting mine chipped at the moment.. think i am getting used to it in standard form... does the turbo kick much harder with the chip compared o a standard car.. i am worried about reliability if i get it remapped...
