Over the weekend, I went to the Cleveland Grand Prix (CART), and I got to ride in a pace car for a Fast Lap. There were 2003 Cobras and a Lightning, but I got to ride in the V8 focus RS8- this thing was fast.

:drool:

 

450 rwhp @7000

365 ft-lbs trq @4000

 

0-60: 4.4 sec

1/4 mi: 12.7

Skidpad: .99g

 

Paul Gentilozzi, Trans-Am driver/owner and CART owner (who has won the Trans-Am race the day before) drove me around in the car around the temporary circuit at Burke Lakefront Airport.

:D

I didn't get to go to the SEMA show, and I don't remember the pics. Here is a pic of the car:

I know the focus I saw out there had a fr300 logo and the 4.6 in it. I wish I still had all the pics from out there. Anyways I guess it is a different car none the less.
