Motor Trend did a battle against the new Z06 and the contestants: a Hennessey Viper, Accufab Ford GT, Lingenfelter C6, Livernois Mustang AND OUR FAVORITE A MTI GTO. I am not going to quote the entire article but the 455 cu. in. STS remote turbo equiped GTO put down 789 hp and 788 lb. ft. . It finished 4th in the standing mile, 3rd in 60-0, 5th in the 1/4 mile (although its trap speed was higher than the 4th place Z06 and just shy of the 3rd place Lingenfelter C6. The end result was the best "bang for you buck" and the title "giant killer." Pick up an issue and read the article you'll smiling with pride the whole time .
I was wondering if that article was ever going to make it to print. I was at MTI back in February, and was talking to David about that car. Looking forward to picking up a copy!
