Airstrip Attack: ESS VT2 M3 vs Ford GT w/SC upgrade

I got a chance to run a beast - Ford GT with an upgraded supercharger.

The camera was pointing ahead most of the time as I assumed I was going to get walked badly.

When I turn the camera at the end of the run, you can hear me hitting fuel cut-off at the top of 5th gear as I forgot to shift as I was more worried about adjusting the camera lol.

Thanks guys!

I'm very happy with how the car has turned out. The VT2 blower with the catless exhaust + high octane gas is such a simple combination that is extremely reliable and makes exceptional power. I thought the GT was going to put 5-6 cars on me so this one really surprised me!

Did you get a chance to talk to the guy afterwards?
He must have been, "WTF is in that thing!!!!???"

my girlfriend's dad has a GT and it's def a great driver's car; Just for reference the car (stock) made 460 hp and 486 torque. So I'm sure that car was making more. Looks good! (tech voice)

Thanks guys.

The GT owner (Greg) is a cool guy. I don't think he was surprised at all because he knows Drew and so he's aware of what a supercharged M3 can do. Even with the upgraded SC I think I still had a higher dyno number but was expecting him to be able to pull away given his weight/aero advantage.
