I really do have a 2000 Mustang GTR rotary 5 cylinder boosted at 57 psi. 60 ft times are so fast they cant be measured, the first measurable point is at the 1000ft mark.

Oops, joking again.

Good to see soo many unadulterated minds here. Sarcasm is just a side effect of ageing.

I though after the GT, the next best model was a Cobra by the SVT team. When did they add a GT-R edition... I recall the Cobra R's, but not GT-R... anyone?

I do know a bit about those GTR's though. Yours is probably a diesel if you can run that kind of boost on a 5 cylinder rotary.

I run such high boost because I have extremely low CR and run on camping fuel..no need for a head gasket either. The heads are JB welded to the block
