Looks like the LMP2 cars use a 600hp Gibson 4.2 V8 right now

So that 5.4 should be making the same power (probably a class limit)
I wonder if the side-loading on the 5.4 is out of range for what they would want to warranty, or if it uses a non-production block, or....
And realistically how much HP are they going to get out of a 5.4 vs a 5.2 or 5.0? It's about 4% more displacement, so take the Dark Horse engine at ~ 500hp...
They are in a weird spot
they made the mustang more expensive and fancy, to the point where the dark horse is the same price as a Corvette. So the comparison is bound to happen.
then to make it worse, instead of building something like the Ford GT (which was supercar status at the time), they...
Dark Horse is a stupid name. Always has been.
it just shows how out of touch they are with their customer base.
too busy doing dumb shit like the "gay raptor"
The GTD is getting beat by much more than 2 seconds on much smaller tracks. The ZR1 would be even farther ahead on large tracks. Who gives a shit about "ring times"
That'd be pointless. We already know it's slower around a track than the ZR1 (many independent tests have proven that) and it's in a different zip code when it comes to horsepower than the Corvette.
