The owner of the Ford literally called it a GT40 when I spoke with him on the phone. Is "gt40" more old school?

Tell Victor to bring his broke a** E55 and run it down here You guys need more than an ASP pulley...bring it, don't sing it!

Cheers,

Darren

Yes, GT40 is old school. The new one is called a Ford GT.

No need to trash talk, if it was closer I would've brought my car out. I will have plenty of vids at my track rental. Too bad none of the M's have stepped up for the challenge.

I have two professional videographers (one is a local emmy award winning camera man) taping the event, in addition to the passenger-perspective cameras that will be in each car.

We'll then be editing the full length DVD and making it all look pretty.

Is it too late join. I am looking into shipping my car out there now. What is the zipcode that I need to have my car transposted to and do I fly into Dallas?

The date got changed to a later date because of this. Post #75 says so. So you'll have enough time to make it. We're gonna need a modded E out there to take out ALL those M's

It's never too late for my fellow MBWorld folks. I moved it due rain in the forecast every day this week. In fact, it's been raining since last night and it's still going as I type.

My ZIP code is 75034. You can ship it to my house I'll look out for it and then you can fly into DFW airport (or DAL which is Dallas Love).

Cheers,

Darren

i doesn't look like it. there was a chance my buddy (a modded 996tt) and i were going to transport our cars but things just aren't coming together...even with the new 1 week extension it's not looking promising.

...which is why i'm glad you're thinking about representing a modded e55 out there.

Be sure to get the VRS belt wrap kit, or better yet, put some lock-tite on your pulley. I don't want any excuses when I walk your car
