[QUOTE="Snake Eyes, post: 3554234, member: 3410"] Well you figure power levels are similar, and chassis rigidity is probably similar. Now the race wing and front splitter probably gives the mustang better downforce. Now the GT weighs 3468 pounds while the FR500C weighs 3125 (which I assume would be the weight of the man racer) which gives the mustang an advantage. Center of gravity and wind resistance is a different story but the mustang is built for the track and the GT is built for the street. Not to mention the fact that the mustang was only 10 seconds off the pace of Grand-Am Daytona Prototype race cars right off the truck would lead me to believe that it would be able to hold it's own against a GT if not beat it.
