You must be kidding right ???

Did you see the lines the s2k driver was following????

No wonder he gets passed so easily.

BTW, that ain't no stock GT, thats for sure.

Sev, I was being sacarstic and trying to make the point that the driver matters far more than any mod you can put on a car.

does anyone notice the guy wave the GT by? probably wasn't confident in his own abilities and didn't want a ford emblem in his trunk.

That was a very good driver in the Mustang. If you watch the other videos, you'll see him passing 300Z's, Supras, NSX's as well.

I agree, excellent driver in the Mustang. Stock or not? Well, could be with a few susp. mods but who knows for sure from the vid. The sounds of a stock motor? Cobra or 4.6l, could be - yes. They sound that way when you are on it as much as he is. He controls the understeer very well, pushing those corners.

As far as the s2000 goes, looks like he was overcorrecting. He'd start going around a corner, see where the apex should be, redirect his car into the apex and proper line, but messing up the entire corner due to the improper line in the corner / apex attitude of the car.
