I beat a GT 40....in the rain

This was at Summit Point WV. last week end PDX. Saturday it poured rain and we need every drop, I had good Michelin street tires and had no problem in the rain, the GT 40 had 18" slicks and a top speed of 60. Sunday was dry and I got passed by everyone, I could hang with a Hyundai Tiburon and had a good time. Monday I could not walk, stock seats suck, might as well sit on a 5 gallon bucket, I was hanging on for dear life, I crawled out of the car a spineless jellyfish. The brakes were good and the ducts helped, the instructor was surprised, kept telling me to go faster, I had both feet standing on the accelerator. I need a big hammer to beat some more room under the gas pedal.

 

EXACTLY. On the long front straight is 3/4 mile long I could get it up to 100 in 4th gear and I could out brake many there without the ABS coming on. I had the ABS come on one time but I think but most of the day I was only using 80%. The instructor kept pushing for "more brake" so on the last lap I did a full hard stop and he looked at me and said "what are you doing? You're going 5mph" I said "I am showing off my brakes" he grunted at me. They invited me back so they must like whipping boys.

 

That is not a Ford GT, It is right hand drive and the shifter is on the right side of your right leg. I do not know what it was but it's not a Ford

 

The drivers door had a big cut out in it to make room for the shifter, and Avon tires, haven't seen them for awhile, some soft of high end replica. Had a nice duck tail spoiler I liked that I am going to copy.
