They need to take even more weight out, lower the center of gravity and a much better wheel/tire package. It can't get the power to the ground! Basically take the the boss 302 thinking and apply it to the gt500!

Yeah no kidding - the GT500 just has too many "luxury" items. Too much leather, too many options, etc. ....what about a lightweight GT500. Articulated competition buckets (like the Boss 302), harness belts, rear seat delete, delete sound deadener, on and on...If they could even drop another 150-200lbs. that car would be even more of a monster. Imagine a GT500 making 550 hp at even 3500 lbs.???
