    Thanks for the link.
    Getting the rear tires to hook up is a challenge....


    Personally, I think the 662HP flywheel is underrated...
    A guy on the GT500 forum (or was it the SVT forum?) took a stock car off the showroom to the dyno and turned 600+ at the rear wheels.


    I don't know... maybe Steve Hawkins can be more informative... He drove my car on Sunday.
    :-)


    Makes for a helluva everyday driver though...
    BTW, I'm getting right at 17mpg on my daily commute.

      Maybe not real fast (at the mile, you must have a 200mph ticket or they kick dirt on you) but pretty dang fast for an out of the box car.  I saw a 1000hp+ RWHP run a mile event and the car wouldn't even hook up in third gear!

      Now back to your regular program . . . .
