More nonsense .John Coletti(HEAD OF FORD SVT ) did not spend over 125 grand (MOVE 15 ENGINEERS and 2 tract trailers full of parts )to have Smith test a prototype FGT for a FAVORABLE review .You really dont know WHAT the hell your talking about.He does his own testing because he one of the very best.Question- why would Ford fly him in to test and colaberate on prototypes (can not even be discussed in his mag )Hey man any time you want to go heads up with him in a car neither one of you have driven let me know.Wait what am i talking about you hide from wagers instead of manning up
I know its just some guy who hired him because he wants to spend his money .The guy happened to be the FATHER OF THE FORD GT and head of SVO google HIS NAME IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME
It all goes back to the horsepower factor (hence the comparasion )s Jamie (a much better driver than Speedfreak ever hopes to be )had a VERY HARD TIME getting 10s in a minus 600 foot da with a ton more power than this guy is making (look at the trap speeds of both cars )
You also FORGOT to accept my bet
i never said impossible running mid 11s ,A 10 SECOND PASS ONLY TRAPPING IN THE MID 120S IN A VIPER (street tires) different matter
I guess my bone stock Viper making 560whp is a big deal too? 
Oh my lord, 600+ ?!?!?!

If you want to compare me to the great Evan Smith, ok. He ran an 11.3 which is supposed to be the best stock Gen IV pass (according to you, since Evan is well, the best driver EVAR). I really wouldn't be nutswinging over an 11.3 with a 1.7 60'. Especially with my 11.46 and a 2.0 60'. I doubt, my car will run worse than an 11.46 with a 1.7 60'.
Furman ran in 40F weather with a -915 DA. Ask Furman to find a stock Viper and go run when it's 90F outside in 3000 DA, and report back to me what he runs. Looks like he went from a 10.98 in his Z06 with most runs in the 11.6-11.7 range (with a best of 11.42). My 11.46 was in 90F conditions, so it looks like we are on the same page.
I'm also curious what Jamie's car and your Gen IV dyno'd. We've seen a wide range of dyno numbers on all the Gen IV's in Dallas, so what makes you think your old Gen IV was even running good at all? For all we know, you had a POS Gen IV making 500 rwhp, and Evan really did the best he could with your Price is Right prize car.
Hes NOT STOCK he modded.
First of all REMEMBER its your car you drive it Smith never so much as sat in a Gen 4 afew times down the track and he beats your best run (in ANY DA you choose Furman or Smith can beat almost anyone out there .You guys are so damn sure you could run 10s in a sea level track MAN up AND TAKE MY BET )As far as a meaningless RWHP NUMBER again that DA crap is a crutch A trap speed is the best hp barometer INTERESTINGLY though Jamie ran in a minus 900 ft DA and Evan ran in a pos 600 foot da both cars trapped about the sameOh my lord, 600+ ?!?!?!
