I doubt anyone has ever invested the time to try. Also, 1st gear would be so long that it would bog for a long time on a sticky track. Would definitely be a disappointing numberAnyone have a clue what a 427 car runs in the 1/4? I don't feel like it would keep up with the modern stuff still but seems kind of dumb to run the 289 car against them.
You aren't kidding. Just took a minute to look it up. 427 car shows 12.9 122 in the quarter mile. First gear can run up to 91 mph! That's pretty bonkersI doubt anyone has ever invested the time to try. Also, 1st gear would be so long that it would bog for a long time on a sticky track. Would definitely be a disappointing number
Well they were trying to use only street GTs. And the 289 Mark III is the only street version of the original GT40 made.Anyone have a clue what a 427 car runs in the 1/4? I don't feel like it would keep up with the modern stuff still but seems kind of dumb to run the 289 car against them.
Ahhh I didn't know the 427 cars never made it to the street. ThanksWell they were trying to use only street GTs. And the 289 Mark III is the only street version of the original GT40 made.
And they only ever produced 7 of them, so it's a stretch to even call them a production car.Well they were trying to use only street GTs. And the 289 Mark III is the only street version of the original GT40 made.
Homologation special so it still counts. Hey, technically the Nissan R390 and Toyota GT-One were production cars too. The MkIII makes cars like the CLK-GTR and 911 GT1 look as common as an F150.And they only ever produced 7 of them, so it's a stretch to even call them a production car.
