ok everyone needs to lay off of janine. she always comes through with awesome race stories, is always honest, and open to hearing other peoples constructive input. for the rest of you throwing up bs flags and calling her out, get over yourselves. Who made you internet gods?? she was there, she saw what happened, end of story.
secondly to whoever was claiming that queens is the ghetto needs to get out from under their bed. and janine did say in her initial post that the party where the gt was at was in the hamptons. read before you bash.
thirdly i have to agree about the tt setup for your ride janine. it would have helped out a lot more at top end. but those careras are beasts past 120. consider yourself lucky, none of these internet gods will probably ever see a carrera gt let alone race one like you did.
The TT set up may be next in line now that I have a built block. Maybe I'll add a second power adder like a 100 shot to go with it for special races.
I was running Mickey Thompson Street Drag Radials, Alburn gear, 31 spline axles, Steeda upper and lower aluminum control arms and 150 lb coilover rear springs. The Carrera GT was on street tires, didn't do a burn out and still got off the line with me.
I dont doubt it, Porsches and Ferraris have a solid 2 tons of wire and computer equipment to keep them from turning into a 100mph smoke show
Really. I just did a little research on the 2006 Carrera GT. 0-62 in 3.9 seconds and 0-100 in 7 seconds flat. What is this about wire preventing them from going all out?
You totally misunderstood me, I was talking aboot the electronic traction controls in late-model German and Italian ultra high end and supercars. I didnt say anything aboot them not going all out.
Well, then, just push in the track control button and your straight. If I forget to turn off the track control and put into boost, I risk going lean and breaking the engine. All traction control does is retard the timing. Why would anyone use it except in wet weather? The Carrera would have been at a disadvantage if traction wasn't turned off.
The traction control and stability management in a Porsche/Ferrari is VERY nice. Yeah, you can turn it off and do a nice smoky burnout, but in a car like the Carrera GT, the traction control makes it go FASTER. Faster in a straight line, faster going into and exiting a corner, hell; it even flips through the air faster whenever you f*ck up.

i didnt have time to read the hole post but i notice sum1 mentions the carrera gt doesnt run 10's.... and the new 2007 911 turbo has an ever so slit fast 0-60... i gota hw to get done b4 bed ill get u leturatre tomorow.. i used to be in love with this car.... its fast... not that fast tho.... ill take a lambo over a porshe neday of ne week of my life.... its a long story... my last name starts with the letters lam so i got a neckname and lambo at a very young and.... newayz... the carrera is hot ****... but theres hotter... and its not a 10 sec car... i not sure u can get a 10 sec car to pass all of cali street test newayz... and yea i kno you form NY... its jsut sumthing car designers think of... the hennesin viper would have beaten you by a lot more than a carrera...
Dont worry about a loss like that. That car isnt in the same league. Its a factory race car, not a sports car. To take that car you would have to be putting out upwards of 750rwhp. Everybody loses sometimes. Nice Death
9.9s @ 143 mph on street tires. 0-60 in 2.6s and 0-100 in 5.3s. All for about $100,000 (not cheap, but cheap compared to other supercars)
Top model has a 720 hp Chevy smallblock.
BTW Janie, either you've got the writing tallents of Shakespeare or you're smoking too much... I mean, come'on, just LOOK at that car. Even if you've never heard of a Carrera GT you should be able to tell it's a supercar.
I've never seen an Enzo or Veryon but if I see one I sure as hell won't try to race it with a 460hp Stang.
I have a hard time believing this and with Janines track record on her posts most of the time lack merit. You can prolly count on your hand how many Carrera GT's are in the states let alone getting a race from one. A porsche GT2 is a low 11 second car that cost close to $200K. So someone in a $400K car who would take a chance on wrecking his car just to race a Mustang.......... I live near Silicon Valley (where you run in to all the rich snobs) and I have yet to see a GT2,Saleen S7, or a Carrera GT.

What kind of idiot tunes a supercharged car and doesn't disable the TC? I have never heard of a tuner leaving it up to you to remember to diable it. Mine is permanently disabled with the tune.

If you really ran 11.37 or somewhere around there then you should have at least given him a good run.
Janine... you ran an 11.37 in the 1/4????
she didn't run that he little thing inside the car told her that which doesn't mean s***. I have a buddy with one of those and it said 12.2 he went to the track and all he could pull off with a 13.5. The track is a totally different story.

My t/c stays turned on and im tuned. My tuner isn't an idiot either. Cover of 5.0 magazine in March (April issue) will definatly say otherwise - Personally, I think you're an idiot for leaving it on when you're not racing, and a dumba*s for not being able to remember to turn it off

I was referring to the GT, not the Cobra. I would assume that the TC works differently in a car that came from the factory with a supercharger. In the GT, the TC cuts fuel which will cause a lean condition and the engine to pop if under boost.

You guys are right. Why would the tuner leave the TC in operation. It really is worthless. He left it on for use in rain. The thing is I don't drive my Mustang in the rain for 2 reasons 1. I don't want to get the underside dirty -- I like all the colorful parts, blue, chrome, aluminum and black and gold to stay looking mint -- and 2. I always run Drag Radials and we all know DR's and rain don't work together. I am going to Deer Park, NY today or tomorrow and have them disable it.

C6,
dont bash her. I live in a city of 1 million, whole country with population of NYC and much WEAKER economy than US and not only Ive bumped into Porsche GT last week at lights, I also bumped into Ford GT this weekend and I dont even count "regulars" like "normal" Porsches, Murcialagos, Gallardos, F430s, SL55s (too many too count), Bentleys GT, plenties of new Vettes (including my friend car which I have showed u on pics recently) and so on...

Yeah, I'm going to have to say, that even if you don't know what the Porsche Carrea GT is, one look at it should've told you that, 1) it is a Porshce, and thus designed for performance, 2) it was obviously built for aerodynamics, and 3) you've never heard of it before. Du-du-du!?! You should've went back and talked to the guys, though, the only retarded thing about this story is the fact that you just left. That was not cool. Great death, though. You're car should be capable of high 11s. A Z06 with 45X rwhp weighing in at around 3300lbs (with your average atkins-ain't working driver) is capable of low 11s. Your trap speed should be a semi-decent indication of what ET your car is capable of.

I'd be willing to crank out an extra $500,000 for a car that actually LOOKS good while performing outstandlingly.
