I'm a Ford guy, obviously. The LS engines are awesome engines, I just prefer DOHC. Also, why would an LS7 engine make the car faster than say...the GT motor? Plus you can easily get the GT engine over 700hp without taking it apart: smaller S/C pulley, headers and exhaust, and a tune. Again, not saying that the LS engines are bad, just not my preference. Ford Modulars are just as good, each has their weaknesses and strengths.
At 200 mph things happen real fast,I don't think the GTM would hit 200 inless it had a diffuser and other aero aids,but at 2000 plus lbs,it goes like hell
@inagod the gtm biggest problem with going above 150 mph is the transaxle, the gear ratios are made for getting to 150 mph fast but generally doesnt go much faster than 150 mph
actually it was designed with the body the drag would carry through the air and might not handle too well...it needs the body for the aerodynamic stability when traveling at top speed. Otherwise you're looking at a car that could be dangerous, either way weighted with the body, Paint, engine, fuel, the thing clocks on at 2300 or so lbs...its going to need the down force...its probably already as scary to drive as a Porsche 917. Dynamics change when you're pushing over 200 mph.
I wish it was...kindof. Put a Ford modular motor in it, then I would like it more ;) I helped this guy build it being he hasn;t really built a car from the ground up by himself. I was trying to convince him to at least drive it like that. We did it in his neightborhood, this is by his shop. I really wanted to rangle it out like this, but it's not fun until the engine is broken in and you can rev it up to the limit.
@timmilus84 build a gt 40 kit car and put a Mod motor in it. or rebuild a wrecked ford gt. i love Ford gt40's but im a chevy man and for years i was like i want a chevy powered gt40. but this is just as cool if not cooler
I like the car, but man if you get t-boned in it you're dead.

@Curveball they are safer than corvettes and if you got t-boned in 99% of modern cars at above 30 mph you would be dead

@mattingly50187
No you wouldn't be. I've seen plenty of cars T-Boned and the passengers lived.

@mattingly50187 was that at 30 mph? without brakes being used?

Its light as fuck fully built and without a body/interior that things a feather you should race with it like that.
