No Whipple? Thought it was? Stock heaton? Bleh its got a Forged 5.4 with a PD supercharger. Easily easily upgradeable but if you have enough money to buy a Ford GT or ZR1 or anything like that you probably aren't going to need to worry about how much it'll cost to upgrade it.

Its a lysholm blower....thought it was a twin screw unit

Considering they are fwd there is very little loss of power to the wheels unlike the mustang where it's rwd it suffers more of a loss when it comes to power to the wheels.
So I'd lose lol

FWD vehicles have more loss due to drivetrain than a RWD.

 

[OnyxCobra]

actually RWD cars have more drivetrain loss.


I always thought the Ford GT came with an M112, learned somethin new.

Someone mentioned that the Ford GT's engine could be stronger. Multiple (reputable) tuners have commented that there isn't much that can be done to make the GT 5.4L any stronger than it already is. It'll take 1100+ and ask for more.

No, they don't. Power is transferred more efficiently through a RWD. It's a straight shot back to the rear wheels instead of a 90* bend.

lol, don't the axles take a 90 degree turn out to the wheels? FWD is more efficient and takes less power to drive, it has nothing to do with 90 degree bends.

It has everything to do with the "bends". FWD's have more. Torque follows the path of least resistance.

 

[OnyxCobra]

It doesn't matter, it takes more power to drive a RWD system, its larger, heavier and bulkier which means it takes more power than FWD. Why do you think all the little compact cars are fwd? it's because FWD is more fuel efficient. Look it up.

somebody please kill this post..... While part of me can't wait too see what the next debate is I am sure there is an import forum laughing at us now....

 

[Mrstangerbanger]

I raced one and its was a good race for like 1 second lol ..

 

[justinschmidt1]

I always thought a fwd system was more efficient as well

Either way I can't imagine the difference being that much.

Clint Eastwood is WAY better than John Wayne, imo.
