This guy did this a couple of weeks ago and his parents went out and bought him a Boxter, I guess as a reward for having the car for more than a month before totaling it.

Ford GT, 30 year old design, original engineers dead or in nursing homes, and they slap a tuned up Cobra engine in it and tag it at $141,245 so that the dealerships can price it at $300,000. They're selling a car today that probably cost them a cool million to develop back then.(don't hold me to that)

no, its not a cobra engine, its a 5.4l. cobra is 4.6l

5.4l DOHC supercharged, aluminum block.

of course its based on the gt40, but its not the same car, at all. to say so is pure ignorance.

whats this $15k chevelle got in it to make it superior to a ferrari/lambo/prosche

Sorry my mistake on the 4.6, fact is it's still an existing motor, they did not pull a Carrol Shelby and completely design a new engine. The $15,000 Chevelle has an all-motor 350 pulled from a 1999 NASCAR, got a freshening up and had the restrictor plate pulled. In case you're wondering I know that the motor cost more than the $15,000 in the whole car, that is why we traded a dirt track car for it. See a guy by the name of Alvin Earnhart is my barber and a customer at my business, Alvin's brother is the late Dale Earnhart and if you do some research on Earnhart you'll hear the name Gary Hargett. Well Dale Jr. usually visits Gary and Gary just happens to build and collect different race cars and Gary wanted the dirt track car and we wanted one of those engines he has.

so its better in the quarter mile?

dont get me wrong, chevelles are one of my favorite muscle cars, but it still is a boat compaired to any modern day supercar
