https://www.hagerty.com/media/news/ford-mustang-gtd-returns-to-nurburgring-hopes-to-topple-corvette/>Ford immediately heads back to the ring to break the C8’s half assed record attempt done by non professional driversFord has just started a Nurburgring turf war the likes of which we have we haven’t seen since nissan vs Porsche when the R35 launched. This GTD run will mark the third consecutive time Ford has ran the car at the ring. Hopefully this makes GM respond with a C8 attempt done by actual race GM drivers to f they want the corvette to keep its title as fastest American car at the ring. Or they will just let themselves be beaten by ford, the first time in the history of the mustang nameplate that it has dunked on the fastest trim corvette.
>FordPainstakingly backwards engineer a Daytona prototype into a road-legal carbon bodied downforce monster with trick suspension>ChevyGive a Vette 1200hpNGL I have respect for both approaches.
The ford is modified so it doesn't count
>>28695238id kill for ford to bring back a modern barra 3.5ltr~ and squeeze 1500hp out of it and rape the vettohad both gm and ford i like ford more mainly for the engines and chassis bin
>>28695234Didn't that BurgerKing YouTuber say there was 10 seconds in that Vette with a pro driver?
>>28695458Yes, and while GM simply doesn’t care about beating their foreign competition, they do not want to lose their “fastest American car” title to >>28695371ford. It’s simply a matter of whether GM will take the bait. This is the perfect storm. Ford is the only one who can make GM try harder.

>>28695481It's pretty hard to beat the Cup2R for production based cars.
>>28695462theyre simply not able to beat the germans
>>28695531They will when Porsche goes bankrupt and can’t afford to dump tens of millions on Nurburgring testing.
