Intentionally ambiguous - perfect legalese. No wheel to wheel racing but gets murky for time attack and the like. Sounds like HPDE is ok as long as competitive does not include any timed event. The spirit of the disclaimer is likely to protect their motorsports arrangements.

Yeah, but those wheels will be a bitch to keep clean, a no go for me.

[stbm5]

looks like an M4, but 815hp without mods is nice.

So a Mustang is quicker than a Ford GT at the Ring? I must admit though the Mustang GTD sounds great on track.

Is this the 6th Mustang GTD thread of the day then?

Increase lap times....and aesthetics.

That was a very special car. It had a solid axle. But it was not the solid axle that came on the other Mustangs. Watts link. Unfortunately a very bad transmission, but if the weak points there were fixed, a very capable car.

I mean, it's impressive and all...but if it took THIS long to "scratch the surface", that isn't something to be proud of IMO.

I'll be honest; I've never heard the Nurburgring called "The green hell!" Drama...

It also had side pipes! That was such a cool car, lol. They don't do cool stuff like that anymore.

The 2012 Boss could have started multiple threads on here and most of them would have had thousands of replies.

Remove the straights and see a different result.

My thought too. I have enough time keeping my 3 BMW's wheels clean.

Maybe. But it didn't have some.huge HP advayover the e92, it was like 450hp.or so vs 410 in the e92, which was probably offset by (I assume) higher weight in the Mustang. It did have 4.10 gears so corner exit speeds were nuts.

To be fair, the two were not competitors in anyway other than paper similarities. Boss 302 had the base interior, cloth seats, the base audio system, manual HVAC controls... It was not a luxury car at all whereas the e92 was. So it shouldn't be surprising that it was faster, that was it's main focus.

Really? I feel like it's been called that since the early 00s minimum. My first introduction to it was it being called the green hell.

[FC4]

Jackie Stewart gave it that cringey nickname in the 60s.

A street legal 992 GT3 is faster.

And a better value to say the least. Why does this car need 815hp? Anyone have the weight specs?

Granted, I've not seen nor read everything ever published about the 'Ring, but I've been a dedicated consumer of most things related to cars for some 50+ years, maybe I just missed it.

And I am a big fan of Jackie Stewart too.
