Ford gt's are not that expensive to buy second hand
One the best allround supercars that also can be modded

^They are still quite rare actually, their 2nd hand prices hold stronger than F430.

Cool car and beautiful; it'll still look nice 20 years from now.....if I only have the money. I never knew those side intakes were not functional though.

That's a cool video for sure. Streetfire's coverage of the Texas Mile has been pretty good.

A "low milage" GT still pulls 10k over MSRP.... if it's a rare color combo, expect to pay 40-50k over MSRP.

additionally, these guys ripped into the Engine extensively ...... you wouldn't have to do as much with a Twin Turbo setup actually.

the closest to that claim is that they would have not had to change the compressoin, or stock internals....

they did however, use Methanol injection to reduce Nock on those high wipple boost levels.

Typical 3.3 liter wipple units run about 720 RWHP @ 21ish PSI

on the same 21ish PSI, a TT setup runs cooler, and about 850-900 RWHP depending on the car, and such.

Zero internals, zero alcohol injection needed with the TT setup.... if you want more boost, just use 110 octane, or C16..... which is what they were using in this video anyway
