I mean it's about on par for panel gaps I've seen from Ford themselves.
Speaking of color though...Ford, why is my paint not Grabber Blue?
(It's like, one shade off and caused a repaint to actually match)
I'm not mad, I'm just dissapointed.🤣
yeah, im considering one of two options, the cheaper route of just getting front spacers, or saying fuck it and getting two more 20X11s and run square up front. either way ill want to get either fender flares or canards up front as the current wheels meet the splitter at the bottom outer edge
Finally got them painted and installed. Love how they came out, for now they're just fancy heat extractor's as ill need to modify the wheel liners to allow actual airflow.
One thing to note if you go through with something like this, you'll want to paint the body as it's not painted under the...
that "1200lbs of downforce" was the quote WITH the optional aero package.
youre putting way too much stock in mid engine vs front vs rear. the fastest non-hybrid mid engine car is still 1.5 seconds slower than the fastest front engine car. the fastest non-AWD mid engine car is the 296GTB thats...
for stuff like that you need to book the whole track for a day, since its a public area that can only be done so often so it was more or less "go now or not at all"
hence why theyre going back next year for another go
The ZR1 is at a massive disadvantage in the downforce department. Chevy claims it makes 1200LBs of peak downforce. The GTD is stated to have more than the GT3RS at 150mph.
For reference the GT3RS makes 1895LBs at 150mph.
Another area where the ZR1 lacks that both the GTD and GT3RS have is...
It's Just ford playing it safe with the GT, they expect the DH to see redline way more than the GT so they beefed it up. That's not to say the GT is under strength though, just look at the stage 1 whipple kit.

The Zr1 has its own body panels vs the Stingray and Z06. The GTD uses the 5.2 predator which is a modified Cotoye that was also used In the GT500. Wheels and tires are also different between the Zr1 and other vetted. the GTD interior is literally the same as the GT with the only differences...
The only part the ZR1 shares with the Stingray that the GTD doesn't also share with the Mustang is the transmission and maybe the suspension (chevy hasn't really talked about that one)
that is kind of funny to think about. Of all the amazing cars the United States has produced, many even putting european supercars to shame. the Viper, the Corvette Z06, Corvette ZR1, even Fords own GT. All save for the C7 ZR1 and GT have attempted a factory backed lap record. All have failed to...
You said it has nothing to do with the mustang, I said you were wrong and explained why. It doesn't comply with GT3 regs because of stuff that was added to it (active aero, and the engine swap with a supercharger pushing above homologation limits mainly) but at its core it's still the GT3 which...
