S550 Mustang GT4 build pics Build Thread

I am very interesting in knowing if you know what the car weighs. I am really curious about that and can't seem to find it anywhere.

And, great driving and wonderful pics. The car looks amazing.

Dean at KohR Motorsports said his GT4's weigh 3,100 without driver and fuel.

That is darn quick and looks to be super stable!

Wow.

That’s a smoking fast lap. I like it!

Hi Treynor, I was out watching you for a couple laps from my shop at Sonoma Raceway Sunday and before seeing the car I didn't think it was a GT4 since it so much quieter than the Roush/KohR cars I've worked on. It looked great coming into T11 by the way. Do you know what mufflers Multimatic put on the car? I ask because I need to keep our shop car sound compliant in NorCal. Thx!

I believe they had GT500 mufflers, but I will inquire.

Great meeting you and seeing the car on Saturday. Wow, what a car!

Treynor's latest video.

HOLY S^&T that's pretty awesome. I think the viper was intimidated. I do wonder what the price difference is in between some of these cars and the GT4?

The car below has no options. So twice the price of the Viper ACR. Completely different animals though, one is built for track day fun the other is build for endurance racing, typically two hours or more, and is built to the global FIA GT4 specs. The GT4 can race in any GT4 spec race around the world and races against McLaren's, Porsche's, Jaguar's etc.

The FP350S is half the price of the GT4.

Yeah, that. Just a bit.

I don't think he expected a Mustang to be keeping up, much less being held up. I could almost hear the confusion as we exited two: 'its still there???' He pushed harder, started making mistakes, got saved by stability control a couple of times (apex of T3!?!) and finally dialed back exiting the carousel.

Good clean fun [emoji16]

Holy cow that thing just CONSUMES everything on the track! Great driving.....hit every apex. Completely deflated......I need one!

@treynor do you have a sense how your GT4 compares to a 458 CH? My son approves of your video.

I've been wondering that myself, and I did some side-by-side comparisons of video from good laps in both cars. The GT4 has a bit more mid-corner grip in both low- and high-speed corners; the 458 has better acceleration. Braking appears similar. I'd say it's a driver's race between the two cars.

I plan to put this theory to the test next time my wife's at Sonoma. We'll do a little "Ford Vs Ferrari" action and see what's what.

 

[VoodooBoss]

“Treynor vs Treynor” for bragging rights, should be fun!

 

[byronj]

Well we all know Ford can beat Ferrari.

A derestricted FGT GTLM vs my derestricted 488 GT3 ... that would be another interesting race!

 

[Black Boss]

FGT derestricted in race trim wins. Way better Aero and much smaller frontal area (75% of 488). Would love to see it

I bet you're right, but also want to see proof!
