I've never been a GM fan for personal vehicles, but from a racing perspective, you can't get a better HP/$ ratio. I crewed on a UMP Latemodel for a long time. Those were all GM based engines. Big horsepower for a fraction of a Ford. I grew up a Mopar fan and the Ford love has just been since I started road racing. Ford Performance support for their sanctioned drivers is great. For the kind of racing I did, there was zero support from GM. I really felt for those guys trying to make a Camaro competitive.
A top tier IMSA Mustang could be ordered from the Ford Performance catalog (GT350R) for $75,000. You still needed to add seat, safety equipment, radios and telemetry, but we built a new car from scratch (body in white) that had the best of everything we could do within the rules. That was about $125,000. We had a friend that was a car chief with an IMSA Pro team running Camaros at the time. They were spending $250,000-$300,000 to have a similarly competitive car. Everything had to be created in-house because there was no factory or aftermarket support.
Back to a Truck (and tire discussion)
My new truck tires were scheduled to be delivered today. Early this morning I got and email saying they were delayed until tomorrow. ot surprising given the season and all the on-line purchasing right now.
Then about 1100 this morning, I get the email below.
The funny part is it says the tires have already been delivered 6 hours in the future.
I'll let you know if the magically show up at 05:06PM. (I'll be a little freaked out of they do though)
