Marauder will race Ford GT

10-20-2005 we will be going to Milan for a Ford day. The engineers at SVT have asked my friend Jerry to bring his low 11 second Marauder out to Milan to race a Ford GT. I think history is in the making seeing a big four door family car whoop a Ford GT's ass. There will be some video recorder out there. BTW, Mike will also be there with his mid 11 second Marauder to beat up on some GT's too.

yeah, no doubt...i would love to see that! I like the Ford GTs a lot, but I think they're really overrated....knock 'em down, and pick one up for the mercs man!

Well it happened. The Marauder that was suppose to race the GT broke it's transmission. Luckly we had two other high-powered Marauders there. Here is what happened:

First run our clubs President beat the Ford GT with his 11.9 to the GT's 12.23.
Second run Mike ran a 12.0 to the GT's 11.9. This was after Mike ran a 11.53 in the tset and tune.
Third run iwas all Mike's with a 11.6 to the GT's 17.0. The GT got gated so bad that he shut it down because he knew he could not catch Mike.
Marauders 2, GT 1

BTW, I had my best run with a 13.1 at 105mph. Here is my timeslip.
