I wondder if the FGT's times would have been better if they had a decent, more reliable car. They can't all be lemons, can they?
motor trend-he posted the article in American Muscle

as far as the lap time... it seems fairly questionable; every lap time yet posted shows it significantly faster per lap... 30 whp doesnt account for 4 seconds, really; but gas shock wear could lead to a more unsettled car, and lower time... also, if this car was pushed as hard at the proving grounds and other tracks as i think it has... it may have a significant loss of regidity... which is what happens to all spaceframes and metal monicoques after many hours of abuse... this could account for 1 second i think
