  • I was going to say I’ve never had as much fun in a car for £90,000, but really, I’ve never had as much fun in a car full stop, and the members who had the chance to drive the car on the day were equally besotted.
    The G55 isn’t a car you can drive from home to the track if you’re buying it as a toy, but trust me, this thing gives you more than you can imagine over a road-legal, track-focused supercar in the right environment, and the consumables are deliberately made to be far cheaper too, so you’re not crippling your wallet on pads and tyres after a day’s abuse, and you’re not remortgaging your house if you end up in the gravel.
    Thanks to the guys at Ginetta Car for the opportunity!

    If you drive it, or if you even play it on a good realistic simulator game, you will instantly notice it's the ultimate closed-wheel racing car. It might not be the most powerful, but it has the right amount of power x manouverability x aero which produces extremely fun races. The car itself is also not forgiving without ABS and TC (as any great race should be in my opinion, though nothing wrong with GT3, I love them too), but if you master it it will reward you greatly, which is the most fun learning curve really. The word he used "Visceral" really defines it.

    They're amazing little cars. You can buy the base G5 for not much more than an Elise. Obviously that wouldn't have a 3.8 motor, but still pretty swift with a 2.3 Focus RS engine. Great cars.

    It looked and sounded awesome. Must be even better with a race livery to add a splash of colour.
    Food for thought as it went past the 600LT. Maybe the sweet spot is: One of these and a regular sports car say 911 (for road use) for less than the price of many a Supercar but many time’s the thrills on track.

    • @scd
      @scd  4 года назад +1

      Couldn’t agree more! What do you really need performance wise in a road car? On track this will give you thrills a road car could never do! Deffo needs a cool livery on it too. Thanks for watching

    The cyclone was severely underrated imo. Same power per litre as the early coyote.
    Happily would spin to 7800+rpm with just a tune. In my 2013 mustang with 3.73 gears, steeda st tune, intake and exhaust on st tires it ran consistent low 13s. If the s550 had been lighter it would've been a proper motor indeed. 🤔

      Your right on the weight, if these could of been in a 3000-3200lb frame it would of been faster then a 370z. 2012 3.7 auto owner Here, Circle d, 355 gears, ported intakes matched to heads, coyote 80mm throttle body. Manley .020 pistons and rods. Shorties with cheap high flow cats. Shift points 7500-7700. 12.6@108. On street tires I can hit 60mph 4.5 seconds hit 100Mph at 11.2. Best dyno with cats is 316whp @ 7100 holds 300whp till 7700. Its the greatest v6 N/a ford ever made.

      It doesn't sound like a 3.7. I just watched a G55 lap Sebring and it sounded raspy like a 3.7 would. Ignoring the gearbox whine, this sounds like a V8. I bet he drive their V8 car and didn't even know it. Dunno.

    front engine design proportions are really ugly, it's like ur driving a big shoe or boots, it's rare that a front engine design gets the proportions right, a C5 corvette gets it right and certain aston martins get it right also
